9.8 Films shoots global locations in Thailand for Lay's
Pakistan production house 9.8 Films shoots in Thailand for the new commercial for Lay's, doubling the country for a series of international locations. The new campaign showcase how the new unique flavors of the beloved potato chip brand takes you into a new food journey.
The combination of Thailand's different cultures and traditions doubled up for Australia, Italy and China. The particular locations were chosen to match with each of the different places shown in the campaign. For Italy, we filmed at Venice de Iris Shopping Mall, which was modeled off of the beautiful winding canals of Venice. For Australia, we chose a beach resort at Sattahip, Chonburi which can resemble the famous Australian beaches, and a Chinese temple in Samut Prakan Province for China.
The Lay's project is only one of the many campaigns were Thailand was used to double up for global locations. Israeli production company Rabel Films also used Thailand for the Spring Tea Journey campaign to double for Africa and Brazil.
Thailand is one of the world's best tourist destinations, furthermore, the country is a great destination for filmmakers. The country can provide the backgrounds to bring every filmmaker's vision to life.

10 Tips in Searching Shooting Location
Original post is from KFTV
A successful shoot begins with selecting the right location. In fact, one of the most important steps in producing a high-quality video is scouting.
Most of the time we forget to check if the places we want to include in our video are actually really suitable for filming. But bear in mind that this process is as important as making sure your equipment functions.
Here are TEN essential tips that will help you when shooting out on location.
1. MASTER YOUR STORY. It is important to get familiar with your story plot so you can choose the best setting that will match every scene. This will serve you as a guide in selecting the best location. Always get back to the main reason why you are searching for a location: I have a story to tell my viewers. So, you don’t want them confused because of a not suitable location. Many locations will be available for you to choose from but there will be very few that will best fit your story. Story first before going out and scout.
2. TAKE DOWN NOTES. Get your pen and note ready-handy. You will need them as your best friends in scouting location. No matter how sharp your memory is, you have to take down all your observation as you go to every location that you want to check. You will come across many settings when you walk, drive, travel with family and friends or just even by observing. Places will have similarities, differences, advantages and disadvantages so you have to write all important points.
Along with your notes, taking photos or shooting video clip with audio observation will help a lot as actual representation of the area. After a long journey of travel, use your notes, gathered information, photos and videos to compare and contracts locations.
3. FORECAST WEATHER CONDITION. Natural environmental factors such as rain, snow, sun, wind and temperature are very crucial in selecting location. These may improve or destroy your output depending on your story line.
Do not forget that your shooting facilities are also sensitive to these factors. For instance, exposing video cameras to rain, beach wind, or even moisture from water fountains or waterfall may cause damages not only to the equipment but also to your output. Too much brightness and hot temperature cause by sunlight can also damage your equipment if left exposed for too long.
Moreover, cold weather or low temperature can drain batteries quickly. This is true to all type of batteries but some perform better than others. So if you really need to take some scenes in very cold temperature consider using external battery pack as well. This will give you a chance to warm your batteries under your jacket.
Make sure to be prepared for these factors to avoid serious damages to your equipment and to secure smooth flow during shooting.
4. PAY ATTENTION TO AUDIO IMPACT. Use your camcorder’s microphone to check sounds surrounding a location. Silence can contribute a lot in achieving great audio results in your film. Also test wireless microphones, boom mikes, and any other audio recording devices at the site so you can listen closely to any interference. Always remember that high- quality sound is very important in making a video.
Consider noise caused by the environment including traffic, running water, echoes, and even movements that your microphone may catch. Going back to your story, choose the location that best fit the scene and the sound that you need.
5. OBSERVE LIGHT EFFECTS
INDOOR . There are settings that provide lower or higher amount of natural light without the help of electricity. Looking back into your story, it is important to figure out the lighting capacity of every location. Indoor locations such as rooms, homes, function halls, auditoriums, churches and temples, have lower amount of lights. You can try sample shoots to figure out what’s best thing to do in the area. If you need more light, check every corner of the location. You can open windows and curtain blinds to add light. In some cases, you may also add light equipment or consider replacing light bulbs. Just make sure to coordinate with somebody who is in charge of the place.
OUTDOOR. Natural light in any open air locations is challenging because it changes in any moment at any time. Check whether your ideal location is exposed to full sun during daylight, or covered by a tree or building shadows. Remember the basics of camera and equipment protection: Do not expose too long in high temperature. Bright sunlight is not good to people’s eyes (actors and staff) and can also cause automatic camcorder lenses to underexpose shots because full sunlight can surpass light colored background. Small amount of sunlight can also be tricky since almost of today’s camera are producing not so good contrast in this outdoor condition. Consider those fully shaded location because it generally gives better result.
6. SECURE POWER SOURCE. It is always ideal to be prepared especially with your power supplies. Even you have multiple battery packs reserved, the need to check nearest electrical connection is essential for a smooth shooting. There are outdoor and indoor locations that lack power connection so you have to consider its availability in scouting locations.
You might be needing power supplies for you additional lightings, battery charging and even cellphone charging. A location that has enough power supply is an advantage.
7. CONSIDER SPACE. In scouting for location you also have to consider adequate spaces aside from the place that you will use as a background of your film. Simply put, do this for your production equipment. Indoors may have extra rooms for your things, dressing area, and place where other staff working behind the camera can stay. Make sure outdoor locations have enough space too, where you can set up your shooting gears. It is important that you can move freely in these areas for comfortable working environment.
8. CHECK NEARBY FACILITIES. Checking facilities around the location is essential to ensure smooth flow of activities during shooting. These include the availability of telecommunication signals for your mobile phones or payphone in case of signal outage, food chains/shops just in case you need food, banks/ATM if you need extra cash, electronic stores for electrical supplies, medical clinics/hospitals, fire, and police stations in case of emergency.
Knowing these facilities will help you prepare for any challenges that will come across during the actual shooting. Problems are unavoidable, but preparation is just within reach. Be ready!
9. DOUBLE CHECK PROSPECT LOCATION. When you have already prospected possible locations, you need to double check. Visit again the places that you want to include in your film to check whether they are still suitable for your story most especially during the time of the shooting. Remember that conditions of locations change inevitably depending on the season, time of the day and even the day itself.
Checking again the factors that you like about your prospected locations will answer the questions: Are they still the same? Or not anymore? Will they be fit for your story? Or no? Will you still use the place in your film? Or will you remove it?
Again, situation of a certain location depends in so many factors, so, rechecking its availability and appropriateness is really a must.
10. OBEY LEGALITIES. Some of the places that you would like to know more about will require you legality works so try paying attention to this. They might require you black and white letter asking permission so you can fully check the area, or some may require you permits before you can go inside a prospect location. Better know if there are legal requirements because this will give you the confidence of fully evaluating the area.
On the other hand, if you are not required of those things, it is always better to ask permission verbally. Many owners will help you if you will tell your intention and will even assist you until you are done.
Along with this, also ask if there are things you need to do for legality sake prior to shooting especially if you will be using public sites such as parks, highways, cemeteries, government offices and private owned areas such as groceries, residential houses, and others.
This is very important to avoid interruption by authorities because your shooting is legal.

Our work with Caisse D’ Epargne: French’s 2nd largest co-operative banking group
Benetone Films recently have had
the pleasure of line producing commercial for Caisse D’ Epargne which was one
of the memorable experience. The commercial with the romanticism concept show a
boy’s journey from signing a loan to the day he graduate, encompassing
creativity with a rich story telling and of course a background music that
helps moving things along, rather than being a distraction.
Caisse D’ Epargne is one of the oldest and largest French
financial institution being founded in 1818 and operating around 4700 branches
in the country and recognized as the 2nd largest co-operative
banking group in the world.
Thailand became a strong
contender for such winning over many other European options owing to the
reasonable cost factor; besides having a strong reputation in the region for
the creativity and high caliber of the art department. Despite being only a
studio shoot and not on location, those two factors contributed heavily in the
country’s favor.
After considering many options,
Benetone Films was selected to be the line producer for the commercial meeting
the high standards and the values required. The work started off in the earnest
and as the shoot progress, we find ourselves enjoying the work and everyone
involved was learning a lot from the experience.
In the end, the commercial came
out beautifully as per the concept with the client satisfied and promising to
work with us again. Another job well done!
Enjoy the commercial below and
leave us a comment on what you think.

“The Inherited Marriage” (БРАК ПО ЗАВЕЩАНИЮ) comes to Thailand
We were recently honored to be a
part of one of the most popular award winning series of Russia, “The Inherited
Marriage” as the line producer in Thailand. The series continue its story in
the beautiful locales of Thailand and star the gorgeous Tatiana Arntgolts. This
segment of the series is produced by Anastasia Rozhdestvenskaya and directed by
Borz Nickolay.
The series follow the story of
Sandra Seymour and her romantic and exciting journey. It is the second sequel
to the popular series
which was originally aired way back in 2009 and has accumulated huge fandom
across the globe.
The shoot in Thailand was done in
multi locations which include a dangerous sequence of the blasting of the car
and a sequence shot in Thailand prison. Benetone Films as the line producer
handled everything from location scouting, local casting, legal paperwork and
other details which were handled professionally and expertly with no hassles to
the production. This helped accelerated the work and the shoot was completed in
little more than a month itself.
In the end, we received this e-mail
from Anastasia and we are happy to know she is satisfied and enjoyed working
with our crew.
“I would like to thank you
and Benetone Productions for high quality services and friendly atmosphere that
you have provided for my crew in Thailand. I will be more than happy to give
excellent references for you to any production house here in Russia and
worldwide.
Best Regards,
Executive producer
Anastasia Rozhdestvenskaya”

Exquisite locations, first class accommodations, solid crew: Thailand has it all and more.
In 2008, Weinstein Company was ready to roll out its
latest project titled Shanghai to be shot on location in the Chinese port of the same name when
tragedy strikes. The Chinese authorities unexpectedly revoked
the permit a week prior to the shooting, which meant the company had to walk
away from the sets that had been built at a cost of US$ 3 million. Moreover,
they were now forced to look around for a new location that could imitate the
Chinese city in addition to building new sets quickly, efficiently and at a
lower cost.
Luckily the solution was not that
far away. The production company chose Thailand and discovered that locations
like Hua Lamphong Railway Terminal, Si Racha, Chachoengsao and Samut Songkhram,
were precisely what they were looking for. The project got underway and by
August 2008, the production was wrapped.
The above incident is one of the
many instances where Thailand has been chosen to be a double for well known international
places. Other well known examples include: Ridley Scott choosing Chiang Mai to
shoot parts of 2007’s American Gangster, as did Sylvester Stallone for his
fourth installment of Rambo in the same year; Werner
Herzog’s PoW drama Rescue Dawn cheated Thailand for
Vietnam in 2005.
This tactic has not been limited
to feature films alone. Many of the international commercials have been shot in
Bangkok and surrounds, with the city doubling as New York, Medieval Europe,
modern China and New Orleans. This award winning commercial from Acer
(China), which we at Benetone Films had a pleasure of working with; cheated the
streets of Bangkok as one of the busy streets of a Chinese metropolitan city.
Our work with UOB commercial
showcases a high upper class international feel closer to Europe which was once
again shot in Thailand!
Of course, international
producers are not turning to Thailand on the strength of its beautiful
locations alone. The other reasons that make Thailand such an attractive place
for shooting are its versatility, flexibility, modern infrastructure and its
cheap, experienced and hard working crew. Additionally, the local officials are
churning out incentives making shooting in the country more attractive than
ever.
Benetone Films itself in the recent
years has been seeing more and more commercials being shot here in Thailand.
Our clients from US, Indonesia, India, Israel, China and etc. share the same
sentiments to the attractiveness of Thailand and have been coming back to shoot
with us again and again citing services from a leading production company like
us as another highlight of working in Thailand.
Truly there exist no boundaries
in Thailand to unleash your imagination and making your vision come true.
To work with us in bringing your vision
to life, please feel free to contact Khun Kulthep or Khun Rachvin at contact@benetonefilms.com
