Step 01
Brief & recce
Send the treatment, references and shoot dates. We come back with a location package, a budget, crew and kit options and a shot-by-shot feasibility — usually with scout photos and video of the real spaces inside a few days.
Production · Balkans
Shoot the Balkans without flying in a crew.
A complete production unit on the ground in Sarajevo and across the region — fixer, line production, locations, casting, permits and kit. Western-Europe craft at regional day rates, EU-adjacent logistics, an English-speaking crew that has worked here for 20+ years.
What this service delivers
For an agency or brand abroad, mounting a shoot in this region usually means flying in a unit, hiring blind, and gambling on locations you have only seen in photos. We remove all of it. Brief us from anywhere and you land into a producer who knows the ground, vetted local crew and talent, scouted and cleared locations, permits and customs handled, and Profoto + cinema kit ready to roll — at day rates well below Vienna, Munich or Milan, two to three hours from any of them.
Why shoot here
Four countries' worth of looks, one base.
01
Every backdrop within a drive
Ottoman old towns, Austro-Hungarian boulevards, Yugoslav brutalism, alpine peaks, pine forest, river gorges and the Adriatic coast — most of it reachable in a day from Sarajevo. One trip, a dozen distinct worlds.
02
The cost ratio
Crew, talent, locations and kit at a fraction of Western-European rates, with the same advertising-grade standard. Budgets stretch to more shoot days, more setups and more deliverables.
03
EU-adjacent logistics
Two to three hours' flight from most European hubs, straightforward gear carnets, and a crew that handles customs, transport and accommodation so your team only has to direct.
04
20+ years on the ground
Not a one-person fixer with a van — a studio behind a 3,000,000+ upload library across 24 agencies, with the talent roster, location book and supplier relationships that come from two decades of producing here.
What we provide
A full unit, briefed once.
01
Fixer & Line Production
A local producer as your single point of contact — schedule, budget, permits, suppliers and on-set logistics, run to your agency's standards from recce to wrap.
02
Location Library & Scouting
A standing book of cleared locations plus bespoke scouting — urban, heritage, industrial, hospitality, mountain and coast — permitted and access-managed for the shoot day.
03
Casting & Local Talent
Models and real-people talent from our own network, cast to brief and booked with commercial releases for all territories — the roster behind 20+ years of licensed work.
04
Permits, Customs & Carnet
Filming permits, ATA carnet and gear customs, drone authorisations, transport and accommodation — the paperwork and logistics handled before your team lands.
05
Crew & Equipment
English-speaking camera, lighting and grip crew with Profoto-on-batteries and cinema kit, plus a licensed drone operator and the hudhud.pro video unit on call.
06
Post & Delivery On Site
Selects, retouching, grade, keywording and delivery handled here through the .shock Suite pipeline — finished, correctly-licensed material, not a card full of raws.
From the region
Locations we have run.
From a brief abroad to a wrapped shoot here.
Step 02
Pre-production & permits
We lock locations, cast talent, book crew and pull every permit, carnet and customs clearance. Call sheets, transport and accommodation are scheduled so your team flies in to a shoot that is already standing.
Step 03
Shoot & wrap
Your director directs; our unit runs the day. Post — selects, retouch, grade, keywording and delivery — happens on site through the Suite, so you leave with finished, licensed material rather than a wrap full of raws.

Shooting here more than once?
A content retainer turns the same crew, locations and pipeline into a recurring monthly shoot day — always-on stills and reels for brands that need a steady feed, not a one-off.
