Looking for a very specific locations

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a very specific location similar to the one in the picture. This is Cenote Suytun in Mexico but unfortunately going there is absolutely out of budget. We are looking for a stone platform on the water with the same shape or similar to the picture to be located in Europe, UK or Northern Africa. Does anybody know of some place? Thanks!

You could recreate that on a sound stage w/ VFX and have complete control of TIME and environment, safely for entire cast & crew, instead of trekking miles to destination unknown w/ equipment & convoy trucks, weather issues, criminals.

Joe Arjona

Thank you Dan MaxXx ! I have that in mind too but if I can find some place with good access and not too tough to reach, it'd be perfect. It has already happened with another 2 locations and it's going to suppose a huge difference for the budget

Becca Carroll Guido

I'd check out Greece! They are open for filming now & have some great incentives! Blue water & stone work are their specialty! :)

Abigail Yates

I don't know if they will let you film but Fall Creek Falls I think has something like that. in Tennessee

Abigail Yates

sorry, just noticed your location.

Joe Arjona

Hey, thanks Abigail Yates , I've been checking out the place and it looks AWESOME, but indeed yes, it's out of our range for budget reasons.

Joe Arjona

Thank you Becca Carroll Guido , do you know of some specific place or area? thank you so much.

Doug Nelson

You got a green screen in Spain?

Joseph Card

Hey Joe, Belize is a covid19 free location to consider. see link below for possible location matching your request. https://images.app.goo.gl/fv8aQBptvZGiNx1R6

Nice to meet you, Doug Nelson . Yes, I have a green screen at home, and I'm planning to use the technique for some small things, but abusing it just gives the image this fake look that I like to call "plastic". You need some real stuff to shoot if you want to have a realistic result, otherwise, the audience won't buy it.

Joe Arjona

Thank you Joseph Card but our budget just allows us to shoot in Europe. The location is breathtaking thou. Thanks!

Amanda Toney

Can anyone in my network from UK, Europe or Northern Africa help? See this post.

Joe Arjona

Amanda Toney thank you! That’s a very nice gesture

For help, you may try Embassyworld.com . A lot of countries are looking for ways to increase their GDP (Gross Domestic Profit) and need to increase tourism. You maybe able to negotiate favorable terms or even pro bono opportunities in exchange for advertising them in your film credits.

Joe Arjona

Thank you, Tasha Lewis I just did, it looks like a great choice

Your welcome Joe. If you promote local businesses, you can generate additional revenue, locations and tax credits based on that country or city.
