Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Bavaria, Black Forest or major German axes: PROD 19 studies the mobilization of mobile logs for artists, actors, HMC, makeup, hairstyle, costumes, cinema, series, advertising, clips and international productions.
Berlin allows you to pass from a monumental architecture to an industrial neighborhood, from a contemporary set to a residential street, from a large avenue to a much more raw space.
This visual diversity explains why the German capital can host productions whose needs are very different: cinema, series, advertisements, clips, fashion, photography or brand content.
But for a mobile logue, the camera-visible decor is only part of the equation.
Production also needs to know where it can install its backgrounds: artists, HMC, costumes, technical vehicles, regie and circulations between the base and viewing.
A large avenue does not necessarily offer the same facility of parking as a peripheral area. An industrial court may seem large but have limited access. A decor installed in a historic street can impose a distant base.
Berlin, alone, is too large and too diverse to allow a serious response without knowing the real place.
On the other end of the country, Munich and Bavaria bring a different logic: big city, lakes, roads, relief and proximity to the Alps.
Hamburg works with the water, port, quests, architecture and northern landscapes. Cologne and Düsseldorf open on an important urban pool around the Rhine. Frankfurt connects skyline, business neighborhoods, river and transport infrastructure.
One national page must therefore explain what a mobilization in Germany really represents: a very diverse country, separate audiovisual bassins and distances that must be integrated into the work plan.
PROD 19 studies feasibility according to the destination, duration, dates, access and the unit actually available.
A mobile logue should not only arrive in Germany. It must arrive at the right place, at the right time, in a configuration compatible with the decor and with the real pace of artists and technical departments.
The main metropolities offer radically different visual identities. The location chosen for the camera then determines how the backgrounds can be installed.
In Bavaria, a beautiful road, a lake, a valley or a decor at the foot of the mountains can become an exceptional plateau. But the arrival of a mobile unit depends on much less photogenic details: width, curves, slope, floor, parking and possibility to go back.
Comedians, artists, HMC, makeup, hairstyle and costumes work according to accurate flows. The configuration must be chosen according to the work plan and the unit actually proposed.
A mobile space to wait, prepare and have a identified point near the plateau, according to the configuration selected.
The number of people prepared simultaneously, the schedules, connections and equipment used allow to assess the actual need.
Carrying, changing, trials, accessories and rhythm of the artists may require a dedicated function.
When several functions must remain close to the plateau, production can study a coherent mobile organization around the recording site.
The strength of a mobile production is precisely that it can be studied in environments that have almost nothing in common.
Germany is accessible by road from France, but mobilization must always be calculated from the exact location, dates and duration of production.
Berlin, Hamburg or Munich do not represent the same distances or same travel days.
The searched configuration must also correspond to a truly available unit. PROD 19 does not promise theoretical equipment that would not be present in the proposed vehicle.
Presentation of my project Germany
One of the main differences with a small neighboring market is the distance between the large German bassins. Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich cannot be treated as almost neighboring stages.
The country covers an important territory. The days required to join the project and go back must be integrated into the study.
A industrial area, a studio, a large avenue or a central neighborhood do not allow the same implantation.
A production can pass from Munich to a lake, road or alpine decor. Every change requires a check of the new site.
The port environments may have specific access and rules to the site.The production must check the applicable permits.
Cologne, Düsseldorf and other cities may allow decoration changes, but repositionations must remain integrated into the work plan.
Port, turn, curve, height, forest road, inner court or return zone can condition the actual arrival.
You need to know the number of people prepared simultaneously, the calls, connections and passes to costumes and plateau.
A too distant logue can create repeated movements. Production therefore must consider the artists' path between logue, HMC, costumes and camera.
PROD 19 does not replace the German authorities or Film Commissions.The necessary permissions, occupations, parking and procedures remain to be organized by production.
A production Berlin → Hamburg → Cologne or Munich → Frankfurt must predict the days, times and times of repositioning in a realistic way.
Historical architecture, contemporary neighborhoods, industrial sites, large axes, forests and the environment of Brandeburg.
Metropol, lakes, roads, mountains, Bavarian architecture and great natural decorations.
Qi, architecture, Elbe, maritime universe, industry and big horizons of the north.
Great urban pool, Rhine, architecture, media, industry and many close environments.
Skyline, business districts, main, infrastructure and contemporary urban environment.
Industry, automotive, city, forests, panoramic roads and natural territories.
The German market can work in both directions: French productions that go to Germany and German companies that choose France for their films, series, advertisements, clips or shootings.
Berlin is naturally the first destination to develop on a page dedicated to the shooting in Germany. The capital offers very diverse visual environments: monumental architecture, contemporary buildings, ancient industrial sites, large avenues, residential neighborhoods, cultural spaces and peripheral areas.
For a director, this variety allows to build very different universes without leaving the region. For the directory, it means on the contrary that each place must be considered as a new logistical problem.
A mobile logging is not installed because a street looks wide on a photograph. You need to understand the entrance point, parking conditions, other technical vehicles, traffic and the distance to the plateau.
A production can therefore provide an artistic log in one location and discover that another place is eventually more suitable for HMC or costumes. The organization must remain functional for people who actually use the spaces.
Cinema, series, advertising and fashion can involve very different waiting periods for talents. A actor can be called early, pass through makeup, hairstyle, clothing, and then wait before his first sequence.
A mobile space can create an identified point near the plateau, without depending entirely on a temporary room located in another building.
The exact configuration must, however, be confirmed from the proposed unit. The commercial page should never invent a number of seats or equipment that would not match the vehicle mobilized.
The HMC department works according to schedules that may be extremely accurate. In the morning, several artists may have to be ready in a small window. Later, the same people can only return for connections.
The main question is not, “How many actors are in the film?” it is rather, “How many should be prepared at the same time?”
This information allows to assess the actual pressure on makeup and hairstyle. It must be approaching the time required by the artist and the changes planned during the day.
The costume can be a light function on a single talent advertising or become a real department on a fiction involving many roles.
The volume of clothes, wearables, trials, accessories, changes and the proximity of actors completely change the need.
A mobile solution can be interesting when the decor does not have an appropriate location or when the production wants to bring clothing closer to the plateau.
Germany offers diverse environments for automotive production: metropolitan areas, contemporary architecture, large axes, industrial areas, rural roads, forests and southern reliefs.
A car campaign can multiply the design changes over several days. The artistic base or HMC then can become a continuity point in a production that is moving.
The circulation permits, privatizations and special conditions are naturally to be organized by production with the competent interlocutors.
A several-week production is not considered as a one-day advertising. In the long run, the regularity of operation becomes important.
A few minutes lost several times a day can represent many hours on the whole of the filming. The proximity between artists, HMC, costumes and plateau can thus become a real method subject.
The Berlin urban universe can fit with clips, fashion shootings, artistic contents and contemporary campaigns. These productions sometimes use several looks, HMC changes and costumes over a very short period.
A mobile logue can then provide an identifiable backstage as the decor and camera evolve around the site.
Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne or Hamburg can also be searched for their night atmosphere.
The night, the conditions of waiting and circulation of the artists change. Cold, rain, wind, fatigue and lighting restrictions can increase the interest of a protected space near the viewing.
Munich has a completely different identity from Berlin. The city combines heritage, contemporary neighborhoods, green spaces and quick access to a lake and mountain region.
A production can thus work in a urban environment and then join a natural decor without changing land.
For a mobile unit, the passage from the metropolitan to a small road near a lake or in the relief, however, means a new recognition.
The question is no longer just urban parking. It becomes the road width, the slope, branches, the ground and the possibility of maneuvering.
Alpine decorations are spectacular just because they are far from urban infrastructure. A lake, a valley, a chalet, a road or a viewpoint can offer an outstanding image.
But the camera can sometimes be placed where a major unit cannot go. The base then must be installed further and the artist's journey is organized differently.
A continuous video of the last kilometre can be useful: it shows the curves, crossings, width, obstacles and the real point of arrival.
Hamburg has a maritime identity that distinguishes it from other major German metropolities. Port, Elbe, docks, bridges, cave architecture, contemporary neighborhoods and industrial infrastructure create many environments for the camera.
However, the recordings near port facilities or technical sites must be prepared with the competent interlocutors. PROD 19 does not replace these procedures.
The function of the logue remains to provide the mobile space required in a truly authorized and exploitable location.
Around the city, the urban pool of Rhine-North-Westphalia allows you to join very different environments: urban centers, Rhine, industrial sectors, residential neighborhoods and modern infrastructure.
Düsseldorf adds a more corporate dimension, fashion and contemporary architecture.
For a planning involving several nearby cities, the distance may seem small. However, it is necessary to keep the time required for the start, the journey and the reinstallation of the base.
Frankfurt has one of the most identifiable urban silhouettes in Germany. tours, business districts, main and infrastructure may be interested in advertisements, corporate content, films or international campaigns.
However, production installed in an office environment or in the heart of a dense sector will not have the same possibilities as a filming on a peripheral location.
Stuttgart and its environment may be relevant for automotive, industrial, design or technology-related production.
By leaving the city, the landscape can quickly evolve to roads, forests and natural areas.
The Black Forest offers decorations that require a completely different preparation than that of a city center.
A forest shot often puts the last kilometre to the forefront. A asphalted road can be transformed into a narrow path. A visible area on a photograph may not have enough ground for the implantation.
We also need to consider the weather, light, humidity, walking and the real distance between the base and the camera.
Germany can give a false impression of ease when a plan simply mentions Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich.
These cities do not form a single compact pool. Each transition represents kilometers and time.
A mobile unit cannot end a long day on a decor and then appear instantly at several hundred kilometers the next morning.
The work plan should therefore include repositioning as real steps.
The development in Germany should not be limited to French production that goes to Berlin or Munich.
A German company can also prepare a filming in Provence, on the Azure Coast, in Marseille, in the Alps, in Occitanie or elsewhere in France.
This production can look for a mobile Schauspieler-Garderobe, an artist trailer, a Hair & Make-up solution, Wardrobe or a mobile space for his talents.
PROD 19 can then study the need on French territory without the unit having to travel through all Germany.
An effective language localization will not consist in mechanically translating every French word.
German manufacturers use their own vocabulary, and some English terms are also part of the professional language.
A German version will therefore have to be adapted to these uses while keeping the exact information on the PROD 19 services.
Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart do not meet the same intentions or the same decorations.
A national page first allows you to present the overall offer. Cities that will justify a more in-depth development will then be treated with really different content.
The important thing is to avoid an artificial succession where only the name of the city changes. Each content must bring an environment, logistics and business situations that really correspond to its territory.
