  Hello!
  Our production house is going to shoot a commercial in February where we need to show european landscapes and a small old european town in summer. We are searching for a location where this can be executed in the best way. We need to see green hills, vineyards and a small ancient town.
  I’ll be happy to receive your suggestions about the location and share more info with you. Please reply to denis@workshop.su

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi.

  I think in Portugal you will find such locations, as well as nice weather, good prices and about 11-12 sun shooting hours / day.
  I recomend you to look through http://www.locationsportugal.com it’s a free locations database, so you can see some examples of locations.
  They have a production services company as well, they can help you in this specific project.
  Talk w/ Patricia mobile ++351 916 618 020. or patricia@locationsportugal.com

  Good luck
  Joao Sacadura.

In order to be more effecient with replying to your request , a script or storyboard would be helpful .We have an extensive database so that we can begin immediately with sending reference material .

  Merry Xmas and New Year greeting to you all in Moscow, from Lawrence Goodman, Filmscape, Cape Town, South Africa. Would love to be of assistance where ever possible. Would be nice to receive a story board and some sort of treatment so I can put a provisional budget together for you, as i believe Cape Town is the place to shoot such a commercial at this time of year.
  Bye for now and look forward to hearing from you soon
  Lawrence

  Hello Dennis.
  I will email you a password for a viewing suite which I have set up with some location images in the South of Spain.
  I hope they are of interest – remember that in the South of Spain we have the mildest weather in the European winter and it has been a very dry one so far.
  Best,

  Hi Denis
  Brad Logan from BLM Productions in South Africa here.
  I would think that the Cape town area would be a good place to look at for your production. There are numerous quaint villages with vineyards surrounding them across alot of the western cape region. If you could maybe send me any reference pics you have so that i may try and find a match for you from our database. This would be a great help.
  There is another region in Durban that could also work for your “green’ european feel if we dont manage to find it in CT.
  My contact details are as follows:

  Look forward to hearing from you.
  Kindest Regards
  Brad
  Happy New Year!!
