We placed our bets on cultivating relationships, showing professionalism, and demonstrating that we have a shared goal &#8211; to tell an honest story about the hard work behind Romanian law enforcement. Every element of the production was handled with respect, from start to end, and as a result, our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local fixer in Romania <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">secured all permits at no production costs to us or the client.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filming across dynamic &amp; volatile locations\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In theory, working with active police forces seems fun and exhilarating. In practice, it calls for preparation, patience, and discipline. It is a fast-paced environment, meaning our crews had to be prepared for plans to change without warning. The main challenge was managing shifting schedules, cancelled operations, and finding solutions in difficult situations. An activity worth mentioning was aerial shooting from a BlackHawk helicopter, which was used to capture the Border Police on active duty on the boats of the Danube Delta. On land, we benefited from support from the Special Forces Unit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Takeaways from filming in Romania with law enforcement officials\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every type of video production project comes with its fair share of unpredictability. As local experts, our teams are trained to expect the unexpected. On set, the rule of thumb is to have the flexibility to adapt in every situation. Navigating permits is one thing, but traveling with expensive equipment on a boat across the delta is something else entirely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, we managed to deliver impactful shots for Bertrand Caroy&#8217;s series thanks to our ambitious production teams, who were always open to implementing new ideas, taking risks, and collaborating seamlessly with law enforcement officials to deliver results that lived up to the client&#8217;s expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/><\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the reality TV show arrived in Romania, OVNI MEDIA required a local production crew to support with crew management, filming permits in Romania, equipment, additional logistics, and more.

Working with police officials on filming a reality TV show was a task that required negotiation skills, navigating bureaucracy, and building trust. Thankfully, our strategy was straightforward. We placed our bets on cultivating relationships, showing professionalism, and demonstrating that we have a shared goal - to tell an honest story about the hard work behind Romanian law enforcement. Every element of the production was handled with respect, from start to end, and as a result, our local fixer in Romania secured all permits at no production costs to us or the client.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p> <h3>Filming across dynamic &amp; volatile locations\u00a0<\/h3> <p>In theory, working with active police forces seems fun and exhilarating. In practice, it calls for preparation, patience, and discipline. It is a fast-paced environment, meaning our crews had to be prepared for plans to change without warning. The main challenge was managing shifting schedules, cancelled operations, and finding solutions in difficult situations. An activity worth mentioning was aerial shooting from a BlackHawk helicopter, which was used to capture the Border Police on active duty on the boats of the Danube Delta. On land, we benefited from support from the Special Forces Unit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p> <h2>Takeaways from filming in Romania with law enforcement officials\u00a0<\/h2> <p>Every type of video production project comes with its fair share of unpredictability. As local experts, our teams are trained to expect the unexpected. On set, the rule of thumb is to have the flexibility to adapt in every situation. Navigating permits is one thing, but traveling with expensive equipment on a boat across the delta is something else entirely.\u00a0<\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p> <p>In conclusion, we managed to deliver impactful shots for Bertrand Caroy's series thanks to our ambitious production teams, who were always open to implementing new ideas, taking risks, and collaborating seamlessly with law enforcement officials to deliver results that lived up to the client's expectations.\u00a0<\/p> <p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1655"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4122,"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1655\/revisions\/4122"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filminginromania.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
