Kerala: Lush Landscapes and Audio Challenges

Kerala is the antidote to the chaos of the north. Palm trees, backwaters, and mist-covered tea estates.

Filming in houseboat in Kerala backwatersThe Houseboat Audio Nightmare

Shooting on a houseboat is iconic. But standard boats have loud diesel generators.

  • The Fix: If you are shooting sync-sound, we source premium boats with silent generators or battery-inverter systems. We also hire a "tender boat" to trail behind carrying the noisy catering crew. 

Tea Plantations

Munnar’s tea gardens (like Tata Tea/Kannan Devan) are private property. You need corporate permission, not just a government stamp. We have the contacts to open the gates. And, if you're in a hurry, we can connect to one of the smaller privately owned estates to bypass corporate bureaucracy.
