Latest News on Filming in Thanet

In the last few years Thanet has been the host to a number of film crews and photographic shoots, since January we have been able to assist a number of companies to find suitable locations including four commercials.

 

July 2011

Christopher Bissell 'Britain's Next Top Model' photographer shooting at Broadstairs - Viking Bay.

Christopher was shooting 19 Canadian models over for two days and chose Viking Bay as one of the locations as it offered many different shooting possibilities that needed to be achieved within a very short time.  They had looked at other locations but with Viking Bay they said they had hit the jackpot and they were not disappointed.

 

The UK trip was produced by Trevor Rogers at StingRay Productions on behalf of Chan International from Alberta, Canada. The trip was for a series of photo shoots and culture. Seeing where Dickens wrote Bleak House was awesome one of the girls said. Some of the models from Alberta ranging from 11 year old to late 30's had never seen the sea or been on a beach in their lives. Broadstairs was their first!
