Filming Locations in Vietnam
Because of Vietnam’s location on the edge of maritime SE Asia, it has a unique mixture of influences. Over its history, Vietnam has had an influx of trade from both China to the north and countries such as Cambodia and Thailand to the west. This also includes some distinct colonial periods from when Vietnam was a part of French Indochina. All this combines to make Vietnam an exceptional film production setting.
The largest city in Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known famously as Saigon. Known for its dynamism, modernity, and electrifying atmosphere, Ho Chi Minh is truly a city that never sleeps. Without a doubt, this dynamism translates well to the screen. Not only that, but the city also doubles well for many other Asian locations. With local support for crew hires and equipment rentals, everything your production needs is available within this sprawling metropolis.
Further to the north is the more historic and quaint city of Hanoi. Home to an array of temples, parks, museums and historic districts, anyone with an eye for framing a shot will find inspiration in this location. Hanoi also gets cooler in the winter months, due to its subtropical latitude, so don’t forget to pack your jacket!
Talking about Vietnam without mentioning Ha Long Bay, home to nearly 2,000 islands (only 40 of which are inhabited) would be incomplete. In this UNESCO world heritage site, visiting filmmakers are able to turn their cameras on some of the world’s most stupendous limestone cliffs and island scenery.
Vietnamese Film Crew and Equipment
Vietnam has a native film production industry that remains able to fulfill the needs of any visiting production large or small. The abundance of crew and equipment rental options makes it an exemplary location for projects of every budgetary tier. And there is also a high level of both English and Mandarin Chinese language ability, which streamlines the production process.
When it comes time to hire local crews, Ho Chi Minh city has a lengthy roster of hard-working production talent. This includes every role from directors, production managers and cinematographers up to CGI animators and practical effects technicians. With favorable permitting processes and incentives, Vietnam has everything you need for production success.
In the equipment department, Vietnam delivers. Local rental houses have the latest generation gear, including all the major brands such as ARRI and Red cameras and Pro-Am jib kits. With such cutting-edge technical support, directors are able to craft expansive and dynamic set pieces and scenes of panoramic scope. Whatever your film production may need, Vietnam has it all.
