On Location

We place camera operators for Moroccan productions, professionals who know the country's warm desert light and the experienced camera crews based around Ouarzazate.

Here is how this works in practice. Our team supplies camera ops who execute the shots a Moroccan production needs across studio and location. We brief operators on the practical conditions: the steady warm light of more than 300 sunny days a year, the heat and dust of desert sets, the tight access of medina streets, and the demands of crowd, action and stunt sequences. Camera ops we place handle a wide range of formats and rigs — handheld, dolly, crane, gimbal and pro setups — and work closely with the director of photography to realise the intended look.

Here is how the work shapes up. On the ground, They set up with the focus puller and camera assistants, the grip and lighting departments, and the assistant directors, and they protect gear in demanding desert conditions. Most are fluent in French, Arabic and English. This makes communication efficient across the multilingual crews Moroccan shoots assemble.

Here is the short of it. Morocco has drawn the world's camera crews for over sixty years for its light, its terrain and its skilled base of operators. The Ouarzazate camera community is highly used on large-scale epics and desert production, a depth built across films from 'Lawrence of Arabia' to 'Gladiator', 'Kingdom of Heaven', 'Spectre' and 'Game of Thrones'. The ISMAC in Rabat trains camera and other film pros. A domestic cinema reaching Cannes and the Oscars sustains a steady pipeline of skilled crews. All production runs within the CCM framework: foreign shoots obtain CCM authorisation and partner with a CCM-licensed local production-services firm. With camera gear imported on ATA Carnets clearing Customs through the ADII. The camera ops we place work fluently within that structure.
