Corona in Israel: Gradually returning to business

The government of Israel is planning to alleviate some of the restrictions over the general population in the beginning of next week. Israel will gradually return to business. Social distancing regulations are still in effect, however more people will be able to return to work, and more businesses will slowly open up.

We continue to produce news and corona-related documentary films. Moreover, we plan to go back to producing corporate videos by the beginning of May. Our staff includes producers, cameraman and other film and video professionals. In addition, we are working with a cadre of experienced video directors. Among them documentary film directors, corporate video directors and directors of commercial shoots. All of them worked extensively with international productions and can deliver any project for our overseas clients.

We hope Israel will indeed gradually return to business. We are glad to operate our one-stop-shop for all your production needs in Israel and Palestine. Don’t hesitate to contact us!

Every year, this week of Easter in Jerusalem is busy one… Every year our camera crews film the Washing of the Feet on Holy Thursday and the ceremonies on Palm Sunday, Good Friday and the Holy Fire ceremony on Saturday.  

This year is different. The Old City of Jerusalem is empty. And the ceremonies in Jerusalem are either cancelled, or taking place without audience.

Here is the Holy Fore ceremony we filmed in 2017. Thousands of believers have gathered inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, waiting for the miracle of the Holy Fire. Let’s hope that next Easter in Jerusalem, we will shoot the same miracle, with plenty of Christians watching.

Tel Aviv from the air, Corona time

We wish our friends and colleagues Happy Passover an Happy Easter, and we share with you Tel Aviv as never before – the buildings are still there but no one is out. Let’s hope for better days!

From your production partner in Israel

Everyone's life has changed under Coronavirus... And these days we are reshaping our business for the day after.
Around half of our business used to be working with visiting camera crews. We know it's over. No more daily trips to the airport to welcome new crews, no more hotels and restaurants.
The future of providing production services is in being able to do it remotely: to follow and implement the director's vision; to collaborate in real time with our cameras rolling, and a client somewhere in America, Europe or Asia watching the footage and hearing the sound-bytes in real time.
The future of remote production us far from grim. Actually, things will be better. We will spend less time on logistics and transportation. We will meet less producers, directors and cameramen, but as the world is transferring to remote relationships, we will too.
Before Corona, we were the best in what we do. Now it's time to reshape, rejuvenate and adapt. Life after Corona will be different, but it may be better!
We are here, your production partners in Israel.
