Essential Tips for Filming in a Tropical Paradise
If you’re planning on filming in Costa Rica, here are some essential things you should consider bringing with you:
- Protection: Costa Rica has a tropical climate, so you’ll need to protect your equipment from humidity, heat, and rain. Bring protective cases, lens filters, and a rain cover for your camera.
- Clothing: Dress for the weather, and pack comfortable clothes for outdoor shoots. You may want to bring light-colored clothing that can help protect you from the sun and repel insects.
- First Aid Kit: A basic first aid kit should always be on hand, including insect repellent, sunscreen, and any medication you may need.
- Proper Documentation: You should ensure that you have all the necessary permits and documentation to film in Costa Rica legally. This may include permits from the government or any private landowners if you’re filming on private property. If you don’t have your permits yet, don’t worry, we can help you with that!
