    in reply to: India, Cochin: Fixer needed

    I did send you a mail to the mail ID’s given by you Out of which two mails got bounced. The third one is still there. I am looking forward to your reply without knowing the details it is difficult to send you a quote. As soon as I receive the details from you I will send you a quote. The reason for not sending you the quote is that the mails sent to you have been bounced, and just do not know whom and where to send you the quote.

    With best wishes

    in reply to: Location scout required with Global experience

    Apus Pictures, India will have the answer. Let us know what you are looking for periodical then we have something around 6000 year old monuments, breathtaking constructions and carvings of that era. Are you looking for scenic beauthy then we have the Himalayan range of breath taking scenarios.

    Contact us with the particular requirement as this country is around 3,000 kms in length and a little shorter in breadth. So it is difficult to include all the place at one go. If the requirement is specified we can send you the photographs and details. Log on to http://www.apus.co.in for details about us and out experience which is about 50 years in feature film productions in India

    in reply to: English field/s?

    Hi
    I do agree there are many places in India that will match to an extent with some of the locations in UK. Because these locations that I am suggesting to you are those the Britishers were found for us, when they were ruling India. That is why I am so sure that these locations would be a match to those that you are looking for. In South it is easy for shooting the period that you mentioned. Towards north the month is not that suitable to shoot freely it will be the same as it will be in England.

    However I am sending you some pictures from the south from one location there are many such locations to be precise all of them lying around the western ghats and all as per the history says found by Britishers for their summer vacation while they were ruling India.

    I have nearly 50 years of experience for shooting in India, please log on to http://www.apus.co.in to know more about me and my company and the work that we did in the past. Should you requre any sort of references from UK, USA, Canada, Germany, Switzerland I would be pleased to forward the same to you.

    Looking forward to hear from you.

    in reply to: filming in India – fixer/permission

    Dear Jelle,

    If possible come in with a Journalist visa hence no permission is required. Generally Journalists carriy their gears, and shoot video of individuals. Regarding location hunting if you can specify the areas that you intend to visit it would make easier for a fixer to find the locations. Moreover please let me know the subject that you have in mind for this work.

    India is a vast country with several cultures, languages, types of people invovled.It is very much necessary to pinpoint as to what you want to do. We have history that is older than 5000 years. Monuments are there that are from the 6th century AD till 17th Century most of them are being marked as World Heritage sites. Hence it is necessary what you want to portraw or research in India.

    we are one of the service providers in India. Please log on to our web site http://www.apus.co.in for more details. In case you require further information on anything about India, do not hesitate to write to us.
