  • in reply to: Fixer for sport shoot in Turin

    Hi Mark, we often work in Torino as one of our main partners lives there and is much easier city than Milano to work in. We’ve shot there two Ford commercials, an Asics shoes, Lenovo computer and Microsoft, and we just got confirmed for a new shoot for another london based production company… also a sport brand with extreme low budget… I’m sure we can help you. Please contact me at paolo@shootinthealps.com.

    in reply to: Autumn / Winter Locations worldwide

    Hello Laura,

    We are specialized in the European Alps and we cover Slovenia, Austria, Italy, France and Switzerland. In March we can easily find snowy situation with a big range of chices towns, small villages, chalets, forests, rivers, frozen lakes, etc… We will be actually already shooting a winter catalogue in mid March and we will more then happy to host your shoot as well. Last year we serviced a cinese winter catalogue in late march.

    What you will NOT FIND in Europe in Mid March is the red/orange leaves. This is from northern Europe down to Greace. The reg/orange leaves are present in autumn before they fall on the ground. In March all the north emisphere is aming to spring with green leaves trying to pop out as soon the temperature rise. In the Alps in March thanks to the altitude we can still find winter and we can still find spots where the leaves are still on the ground but they will be brown/yellow and the trees will be bare and have a winter look. Hope this helps a bit. Please feel free to contact me with more details to better understand the projec and bring it where ever is best. Paolo paolo@shootinthealps.com

    Hello Tom,

    although there are some chances that we can get a village in the snow at the end of october (as it has happened last year) it is not guaranteed and at the moment there is not trace of snow in villages at the valley. There are some houses (4-5 buildings) on a glacier that depending on what your scenes might work and the snow is guaranteed through out the year. Obviously it greately depends on your storyboard and production needs. I will send you some pictures on your email and if you are interested please feel free to send me some more informations about the job. Hope this will be helpfull. Best regards, Paolo paolo@shootinthealps.com http://www.shootinthealps.com

    in reply to: Snow / Train 1st week may

    Hello Shirley,

    between northern Italy and Switzerland there are trains that travel through high mountain landscapes and in the first week of May we can definitely find snow. Not sure we can find it at tree level but with some luck we could still be able to find some. Definitely we can find some without trees and definitely if there are trees we will find’em! Contact us with more details and we can check what we can do. Paolo@shootinthealps.com

    in reply to: chalet with snow in summer

    Hello John,
    as somebody already said before in Europe you will not find threes and lakes in the snow nor normal chalets. We can find modern huts high up in the mountain on the glaciers (and snow around) that need to be propped. Obviously if you can come earlier in the spring we can still find something down in the valleys. Anyway if you contact us with some more details we can more precise advising on what we can do. paolo@shootinthealps.com http://www.shootinthealps.com

    in reply to: Hazelnut Field / Garden

    InLanghe Piedmont( Italy ), there are many fields of hazelnuts, so much so that comes Nutella produced with these nuts. The problem is that the time of collection of hazelnuts was in late August early September, we can recreate the same situation, but the trees and nature around will be a little different now that you would like shoot on the 2nd half of November.
