Filming documentary in Brazil for french TV

Fixer Brazil is the full service producer that partened with Decoupages, from France, for the brazilian episode for “Peuples des Mers”, a Documentary Series for ARTE TV.

We did some location research and found the right place, Praia do Bonete, at Ilhabela, and the right fishermen to share their stories with the french crew from Decoupages.

Director Ludovic Fossard and the host, Marc Thiercelin, intervew fisherman Primitivo

It was a week of shooting at the village, inside the jungle and at the sea. The series focuses on their fishing techniques, the huge canoa caiçara, and the challenges that they face to keep their culture alive.

Filming Jangadeiros in Ceará for French Television Arte

Renting filming equipment in Brazil.

Most of the bigger film and tv equipment rental companies are located in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Here it is possible to get most cameras like the RED, C300, FS7 and lenses. It is also possible to hire Lighting and Grip.  Be prepared to pay a premium, as renting equipment in Brazil can be expensive when compared to the values practiced in the US and Europe. One option is to bring the camera and lenses from abroad and hire heavier equipment here and in this case we can help with the customs clearance of the camera.
Our production company has a great relationship with Film Equipment Hire companies so we can get you the best prices in Brazil.
