    Hello, we are looking for a lake proper to shoot in water in January. The lake should look like lakes located in Blatic states (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_in_Lithuania).We can”t shoot in our region, cos in January we have freezing winter and the script is based on water entertainment.

    Hi There,

    Come to Ireland… We’ve lots of lakes here, that shouldn’t be frozen and could look similar to Lithuania, although it might be cold!

    Thanks Doireann

    Additional information – according to the scirpt, people will be swiming in the lake, so we need appropriate weather conditions. In this case Ireland and Berlin are not suitable locations.

    Hello,
    We also have a few lakes in Wallonia, but you don’t specify the size of the lake you need !!! Would you please give us more information. The weather could be sweet (about + 10°C ) but it also could be frosty (about – 10 °C) it depends to one year to another …

    Greetings from Santiago de Compostela Film Commission. In less than one hour from the city of Santiago, you can reach several dams and reservoirs and even a couple of lakes. Check us out at http://www.compostelafilm.com and hope you like the pictures.

    Dear Laura,

    I have just seen your post. Please let me correct my colleagues, since neither Santiago de Compostela, nor the Basque country nor the Pyrenees area would suit you in January, since these areas are just as freezing as Lithania (I know Lithania and know these areas in Spain- I like to shoot in all of them, but not in the winter…). The only region in mainland Europe that would most probably suit you weatherwise is the area around Malaga in Southern Spain. I have uploaded some pictures of lakes that I think would suit and will send the link to Audrius (since I do not have your email address). Please do not hesitate contacting me for any further questions at peter@frescofilm.com or on my cell +34 609 50 87 88. Looking forward to hearing from you, Peter http://www.frescofilm.com
