5 things you should know about filming in Brazil in 2022
At Story Productions we work hard to continue to deliver stellar services during the pandemic. Discover our top five tips on how to get organized for shooting your next project in Brazil.
01 How to enter Brazil during the pandemic
While Story Productions offers global clients remote services so they can oversee everything without having to leave their home country, this doesn’t mean you cannot travel to Brazil to work with our crew in person. However, due to the emergence of pandemic hot spots across the globe, all flights entering Brazil are subject to procedures which currently include proof of vaccination and a negative Covid-19 test. For the latest information, including travel bans, Story Productions keeps a page updated with all current travelling protocols.
02 How to choose the best locations for your shooting
Brazil is the largest country in South America, which provides a wide range of climates and locations for beautiful story telling. This also means various
Covid caseloads and vaccination rates, and the regulations in place to help curb the spread of the virus can vary wildly from state to state, and from city to city. Story Productions always provides clients with the most recent information for their shoot location, in addition to keeping a page updated with
a trove of information for general reference.
03 Latest updates about the vaccination requirements
Recommended vaccinations for entering Brazil may depend on your country of origin or your filming location in Brazil, but Covid-19 vaccination requirements are becoming a global travel necessity. Aside from the need for vaccination documentation for the trip to Brazil, entry to some establishments within Brazil requires a vaccine passport. To help navigate the maze of vaccination protocols, Story Productions helps clients determine exactly what documentation and vaccines are needed for their upcoming shoot.
04 What you need to know about the pandemic protocols for filming
Filming safely during a pandemic is possible. Great TV series such as Station Eleven or movies such as One Night in Miami have been made entirely during the Covid crisis. Each state across Brazil has developed its own
safety protocols for filming, though these guidelines, from PPE requirements to maximum capacity limits, can vary between individual cities. Story Productions follows the myriad of regional guidelines closely and can provide recommendations to ensure client projects meet with specific local guidelines.
05 How to travel to Brazil with filming gear
All foreign productions willing to shoot in Brazil must be supervised by a Brazilian production company duly registered with ANCINE. Story Productions helps foreign production companies navigate the equipment entry procedures, now that ATA Carnet is no longer accepted in Brazil. Bringing filming equipment into Brazil requires thorough documentation, along with administrative, customs and transport costs to consider.
