Bilingual, Lighting Camera Crew in Granada – Spain
Lighting cameraman with camera equipment filming a documentary in Granada (Andalucia / Spain) for a pan-European, EU founded project about multi-cultural coexistence and religious tolerance. The camera crew filmed during several days the practical work and implementation of this European educational project on-site in Granada.

… On location, the crew worked hard and developed excellent working relationships with the contributors, both adults and children. The resulting footage was not only of a high technical standard, but also visually stunning.
This much, perhaps, you might expect from an elite broadcast camera crew, but what impressed me most this time round were those moments when our cameraman cheerfully rolled up his sleeves and stepped into the breech, for instance helping out when our educational partner had technical difficulties with teaching young people how to edit. This went far beyond the job description, and literally saved the day!
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Popular Pictures as my go-to crew provider in Spain.Gail Block, Senior Producer, UK

Location Management for TV Feature Film for German broadcaster ARD at Costa Dorada, Spain.
We did the location-scouting and management (on-site research, permits, logistical support) for the German TV feature film production “Der Auf-Schneider – Aufstieg und Fall eines deutschen Baulöwen” for Saxonia Entertainment / German public broadcaster ARD. Between Barcelona und Castellon we sorted out a location that doubles perfectly for Miami.
Client feedback
… I would like to thank everyone involved for their great commitment to this project. We succeeded in producing an exciting film with a mixture of ironic wink and realistic representation.
