FILM, VIDEO AND TV PRODUCTION SERVICES
OUR EXPERIENCE
Since 1998, we have provided camera crews and production services for hundreds of international productions, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and across Israel. We have partnered with American, Canadian, European and Asian productions arriving to Israel and Palestine. Our wide range of production services and facilities supports various audiovisual formats, including news, documentary films, corporate videos and TV Production in Israel.
From research and ideas to clearing locations, filming, editing and up-link services. Some of our customers ask for a quick job, like hiring a camera crew in Tel Aviv for one day; other productions may take weeks of pre-production and filming. Our experienced fixers manage the projects throughout Israel, the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza.
THE HIGHLIGHT FILMS TEAM
Our producers can provide any TV, film and video production services in Israel. As the leading production services company in Israel, we have our own camera sets, grip gear and lights. We can edit and post in our own production facilities, therefore we can keep the cost of production low. In addition, we have learned many creative ways to save money without compromising quality…
Many believe that it is impossible for Israelis and Palestinians to work together, however we prove the opposite, in Jerusalem and elsewhere. Moreover, in many productions, the visiting production crew has to cross back and forth between Israeli and Palestinian territories. In conclusion, we know how to plan it right and which ways and procedures to follow in order to make the crossing quick, safe and efficient.
Here are some pointers and links for the services we provide:
