"Last year I was Director of Photography on a 1 month boat based 4K shoot in the Greek islands

Filming under these conditions throws up a whole new raft of potential problems and difficulties. It is paramount to have a mother ship capable and equipped to deal with what on land would be mundane issues. How to charge batteries. How to manage the media, clean the cameras and lenses etc. Chris’s boat and indeed Chris himself bring an incredible oasis of calm to the production and allows the crew to concentrate on what they are there to do

His depth of understanding of not only the marine side, but also the filming side, means that all aspects have been thought out, and he has an uncanny knack of anticipating a problem before it actually arises. Nothing is too much trouble – Rib to remote beach? Done... Need a solution to a problem? Done... A coffee at 6 in the morning? Done..
Chris’s drone flying is exemplary. Open to suggestion and with a ready input of ideas means the production can only but benefit from his knowledge and expertise.

And when its all done and dusted - and if you have time. Get the sails up, some music on the stereo, a beer from the fridge, relax on the deck and enjoy a truly magical experience. It really doesn’t get much better!

I have no hesitation in throughly recommending Marine Services Tv".

We understand film... And pixels!

Wildblood Marine Services are specialists in the provision of marine-based services for the film, TV and photographic industries.

We have the facilities – and most importantly the experience – to enable any marine-based production to run every bit as smoothly as one on dry land.

Our 'mother ship' is an Endurance 50 that was designed by naval architect Peter Ibold to cross oceans. Incredibly strongly built, by the Belliure shipyard in Calpé, Spain, she has recently been refitted to the highest of standards.

Currently based in Corfu, Greece, she is easily moved to most parts of Greece, Southern Italy and Sicily, Croatia or further afield if required.

To access those awkward or shallow locations, the yacht is complemented by a 3.2m aluminium hulled inflatable boat (RIB) with a powerful Mercury outboard.

For land-based shooting, we have a Land Rover Defender. If anything can get you there, the Defender will.
