Locations in Chile
Take a look at some of the amazing locations where you could shoot your next project. Get in touch with us if you have any questions.
Snow: Chile is currently at the end of the snow season, yes, still (it has been extended an additional week due to there being plenty of snow) There are, as of the end of September, over 1.4 meters of good packed powder snow on the slopes of the three ski centers closest to Santiago. There are just under 5 meters on the non packed areas. STILL! The season is expected to last well into October.
Last year, our final snow shoot was done with helis at the end of October.
Deserts
Good conditions are to be had all year long, though this year is unique in that the flowering desert (which last occured in 2002) is happening. What it means basically, is that in parts of the Atacama desert, the seeds and bulbs which last flowered 7 years ago, have been watered by unusual rains, and the whole areas where it happens turn bright colors as the flowers bloom.
Cities, Suburbs, and Architecture
Santiago possesses a wide scope of fresh and unfilmed architecture, but what is also very interesting for different scripts, are newly built suburbs, with a generic North American look. They could be in Mississauga, Ontario, Phoenix, or L.A. Often times, South American locations tend to be too recognizable due to particular building materials, palms, and design, but in Chile, the variety of new developments breaks away from that.
Forests and Natural Landscapes
Chile is blessed with around a dozen highly varied climate zones, and with very good access to a lot of those areas. While Patagonia and the far northern reaches of the desert will always mean long distances, other locations can be surprisingly accessible. Where else can you can coastline locations, fresh city angles, and real mountains all within 70 miles from one to the next?
Take advantage of the new infrastructure: modern, safe highways, that take the equipment and crew to the lake district without high costs, or air freight. Just try that with Bariloche.
The Pacific Ring of Fire, while slightly hair raising in name, means that there are snow capped volcanos all year long in the south of Chile, ready to play snowy backdrop to your scripts needs.
White water rivers, virgin stands of forest, and tree lined lakes of all sizes are what make this part of Southern Chile a perfect spot when you need a Canadian or European style lake location.
