Filming Locations in New Zealand
New Zealand is by far one of the countries that people want to visit most. It has a very diverse scenery that would fit with any genre or type of project from the top of the mountains to a spectacular field. Whether your project is a TVC or a feature fantasy film like “The Lord of The Rings” or “The Hobbit Trilogy”, New Zealand would be a perfect place for you to bring your project.
Mount Taranaki
That reflection is an undeniable view, imagine your TVC or historical set piece being filmed here, it would look magnificent. Mount Taranaki is the location where a Japanese village in “The Last Samurai” took place and was used Mount Taranaki as a replacement for the real Mount Fuji.
Cathedral Cove
Still on the Northern Island of New Zealand where this Cathedral Cove stands. It’s in the southern part of Mercury Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula. This is where the ruins of the castle Cair Paravel, in the “Chronicles of Narnia- Prince Caspian” was set. It would be a perfect spot for commercial ads or romantic-comedy films to take place.
Lyall Bay
The capital city of New Zealand, Wellington is where Lyall Bay lies. It’s a beach that would be perfect for any kind of project, even a film like Peter Jackson’s “King Kong” was set and filmed here. You would not believe that this is the actual location where Skull Island was set.
Paradise
Let’s move to the Southern part of the Island, Paradise is located on Queenstown – Glenorchy road in New Zealand’s Southern Lakes region. This location would be perfect for any kind of project. It’s the place where “Wolverine” and “The Hobbit Trilogy” choose to bring their productions.
Fiordland National Park
Fiordland National Park is by far the largest of the 13 national parks in New Zealand, located in Southland on the Southern Island. It covers you with every scenery option that you may want from the mountains, forests, rivers, and even a waterfall. So, it would be the perfect place for any type of video production. “Alien: Covenant” used this location and transformed it to be a planet in outer space!
