Hello laura, the average temperatures for the reservoirs I posted, in the outside would be about 7ºC so water would be warmer. Vegetation is very ressembling and some of the reservoirs especially in Alava have no mountains but a view to green fields.

Kind regards,

Hi Laura,

Have you considered the UK.

I’m thinking particularly of Scotland. Due to the Gulf Stream the lakes won’t be frozen, but they will look a lot like Lithuania because of the latitude of Scotland. It will be cold…..

I hope this helps,

would all Spanish Film Commissions and Offices please do the local industry the favor to ONLY answer on this forum if they really HAVE suitable locations? Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela, Granada and Basque Country do NOT have the weather conditions to shoot a commercial with water sports there in January ! Outside temperature and water temperature would KILL your TALENT after a few minutes !!! And a recommendation to the Malaga Film Office: Please look at reference pictures of what is required before answering, since neither the Guadalhorce nor the Guadalmedina do meet the requirements of a Lithuanian lake !!
In the name of all professional service productions in Spain- please, Film Commissions and Offices, stop trying to sell bananas instead of required apples in order to keep our reputation here clean !!!! Foreign producers will be thankful. Thanks !!

[Alex CoxMember]

I think Peter Soler’s advice here is very wise. Film Offices/Commission’s (especially Malaga’s) need to address the actual requirements listed and they need to be relevant. Putting in the same generic pitch every time for the region is not only ill-advised, but I think counter productive to both the film office concerned and the integrity of this forum. Once you are on the short-list you will have plenty of opportunities to present your incentives/advantages, but if I was a Client frequenting this site I would actually avoid some places as the indication from here is that they would give irrelevant and/or erroneous information, the last thing a Producer needs especially when he is relying on his Location people to meticulously tick all the boxes for the shoot. We need to keep this client friendly, and with 10s of thousands of Film Offices all over the world competing with each other no doubt we will come across this kind of thing again. Maybe we should email them directly when that occurs to remind them to “keep it real”.
