Keeping up with the kardashians costa rica

The year 2016 was ending and we were finishing up another job in Argentina when we were contacted by Bunim/Murray Productions to hire our production services in Costa Rica, to shoot the episodes 9 and 10 of season 13 of the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. 

We had previously worked in productions of this genre such as Bear Grills´ Mission Survive , several episodes of House Hunters International, Beach Front Bargain Hunt among others ( check our experience), but with a total of 86 crew members (with 54 US crew members and 32 costa ricans) this was definitely an interesting project!.
 
For productions like this we rely in our experienced crew, teamwork within a collaborative atmosphere is what we always look for with each crew we pick for each production we have, and as usual it worked this time!.
 

​
As with any project, specially with celebrities, confidentiality was key to avoid paparazzi’s ruining the shoot. The arrival of the family was filmed at the airport tarmac, as requested by our clients.
 
These 2 episodes of the show came to record in 4 days and in 2 locations. The area of ​​the Papagayo Gulf in Guanacaste and La Fortuna de San Carlos were the locations chosen to take the cast to enjoy different tourist attractions known worldwide.
 
It was not the first nor the last time that both locations attract the attention of our customers. The Papagayo Gulf has private bays with beautiful beaches and La Fortuna de San Carlos has one of the most visited volcanoes in the country, El Arenal, which was completely clear to receive the cast when landing by helicopter in the area.
 

Both locations and our schedule required to have 2 production units and also the transfer of the cast and part of the local and foreign crew, for this we have means of transport by land as well as air. Costa Rica has the advantage of having different landscapes, with different climates, vegetation and scenarios in general at short distances either by car, boat or airway. As usual, our clients were happy and we are pleased to say we made many new friends among their crew!.
