It’s all relative to what you are trying to shoot. The exchange rate has nothing to do with it really. The exchange rate between the USD and the Swiss Franc is the same. Doesn’t mean it cost the same shoot in Switzerland as it does here. European countries are just more expensive in general because cost of living is higher. Therefore crew rates, rental rates, location fees, etc can all be higher. But again, all depends on what you are shooting. Shooting a landscape of just a mountain with no talent? Might be the same as shooting a mountain landscape in Colorado or Canada. Shooting a car spot with a Russian arm, talent you have to fly in, car prep crew, maybe some drone or heli? Pay up.

Yeah. That’s helpful. The CD is like let’s do helicopter shoot on top of mountain.... knowing budget is 100k. Fucking insane.

Thinking Montreal might be more realistic

Try a drone- it’s cheaper

No. But Arni & Kinski at ‘a Whitelabel product’ are from Iceland. Shot with them in Prague and they were fantastic

NOICE thanks

Would only ever shoot there if the creative HAD to be that landscape. Not going to be cheap. What are you looking to save on?

Ditto on Truenorth though.

@SP - why is it more expensive than US if exchange rate is similar?

And is this really just a ruse to buyout the talent versus paying for SAG talent?

Lol your CD is high. Go to Utah for cheap mountain scenics. I can put you in touch with people if you need. Let me know.

Who do you recommend in Utah?

P2 - Nate Balli @ Moniker Media. Tell him Andrew Campbell reco’ed you. Also love working with Renan @ Camp4 but he’s insanely busy most of the year. We can talk more offline if you’d like. I’ve shot in Utah a ton. My email is andrewcampbel@gmail.com
