Everything you need to know about producing in Spain with Catwalk Media. From timelines and budgets to team setup and locations — here’s how we make your production seamless.
YOU:
Why do international brands choose Barcelona for photo and video shoots?
CATWALK:
Barcelona offers over 300 sunny days per year, diverse architecture, beaches, and mountains within 30 minutes, making it ideal for campaigns that need multiple looks in one location. Combined with experienced crews and competitive production costs, it’s one of the most efficient European production hubs.
YOU:
What services does Catwalk Media provide?
CATWALK:
We handle full-service production: location scouting, casting, styling, makeup and hair, set design, logistics, equipment rental, on-site production management, and post-production. You can hire us for the full pipeline or specific parts of the process.
YOU:
What types of projects do you work on?
CATWALK:
Mainly fashion, beauty, and lifestyle campaigns, lookbooks, editorials, social content, commercials, and e-commerce productions for global brands.
YOU:
What are the typical production budgets you work with?
CATWALK:
Our average production budgets start from €30,000. We work with scalable teams to match project size, from lean content shoots to full-scale campaigns.
YOU:
How far in advance should we start planning a production in Spain?
CATWALK:
Ideally 4–6 weeks before the shoot. For smaller editorial or content projects, 2–3 weeks is usually enough. We can handle rush projects, but advance planning helps with permits and crew availability.
YOU:
Do you only work in Barcelona?
CATWALK:
Our main base is Barcelona, but we also produce shoots in Madrid, Mallorca, Ibiza, Costa Brava, and the Canary Islands. We also have access to crews and studios in London, Paris, Berlin and other major European cities.
YOU:
Can you help with model casting and talent management?
CATWALK:
Yes. We collaborate with major model agencies in Spain and Europe and can cast professional models, actors, dancers, or real people depending on your brief.
YOU:
Do you provide location scouting and permits?
CATWALK:
Absolutely. We scout and secure all permits needed for outdoor and indoor shoots — beaches, rooftops, historic buildings, private villas, and studios.
YOU:
Can you arrange travel and accommodation for our team?
CATWALK:
Yes. We can book hotels, private apartments, transportation, drivers, catering, and local assistants. Our goal is to make your production completely hassle-free.
YOU:
What languages does your team speak?
CATWALK:
English, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Russian. We also work regularly with bilingual crew members in French, German, and Italian.
YOU:
Do you offer post-production services?
CATWALK:
Yes. We provide color grading, retouching, editing, and delivery optimization for digital, print, and social media formats.
YOU:
How do payments work?
CATWALK:
Once the project scope is approved, we issue an estimate and contract. A deposit (usually 50%) confirms the booking, and the balance is paid after delivery.
YOU:
Do you work with agencies or directly with brands?
CATWALK:
Both. We collaborate with global creative agencies and directly with in-house marketing teams or independent artists.
YOU:
Can you support remote clients who won’t be on set?
CATWALK:
Yes. We offer remote production supervision with live video streaming from set, real-time image review, and on-set producer communication.
YOU:
How do you ensure quality control on set?
CATWALK:
Each department: photo, video, beauty, styling, and lighting, is led by senior professionals. Our executive producer oversees schedule, budget, and creative consistency.
YOU:
Can you help with creative direction?
CATWALK:
Yes. We can support with concept development, moodboards, and pre-production planning, or work alongside your creative director.
YOU:
What about insurance and safety?
CATWALK:
We provide production insurance covering crew, equipment, and locations. All safety protocols are followed according to Spanish and EU standards.
YOU:
How long does it take to deliver final assets?
CATWALK:
Photo editing usually takes 5–10 business days, and video post-production 10–20 days, depending on the project scale.
YOU:
Do you work with sustainable or eco-friendly productions?
CATWALK:
Yes. Whenever possible, we prioritize local rentals, eco transport, minimal waste catering, and reusable set materials.
YOU:
How can we start a project with Catwalk Media?
CATWALK:
Send us a short brief or moodboard with references, expected dates, and location preferences to office@catwalkmedia.net. We’ll prepare an initial estimate within 24–48 hours.
