4. Armenian locations
There are two things you need to know about shooting in Armenia: people and places.
You could cross the whole country by car in 6 hours. Landscapes and even seasons will be drastically changing every hour. For example, you could shoot sunrise in Arizona-style canyons. Three hours later you’ll reach emerald lakes and meadows just like in Magical Shire. And by the sunset you’ll be setting up your cameras near the snow peaked mountains.
As we shoot abroad often we also know what is required for service production locally. Our team members speak English, Armenian and Russian. We estimate your production costs in the most transparent and thorough way. Our own extensive data base allows us to suggest a lot of film friendly locations. And finally, we collaborate with the most experienced and talented crews in the region.
Also, just so you know, shooting period in Armenia is long and comfortable, from March until the end of November. Winter months are cold but dry with a lot of sunny days and brand new ski resorts one hour away from Yerevan. Decent roads with easy access to police support are very convenient for car commercials.
