Size / Impact of Production
  • Please be accurate with the number of people / vehicles / boats / aircraft involved in the project as this is crucial importance to the assessment of your application.
  • Depending on the impact of your shoot on the location, more than one ECO may be required to be on set for the duration of the shoot.
  • Nature Reserves & Wilderness Areas are conservation areas protected by environmental legislation (and in some cases International Environmental Laws). This has bearing on the type of activities that may or may not be allowed and this can vary from Nature Reserve to Nature Reserve AND in some cases various areas inside a Nature Reserve. In cases where extensive site manipulation (Set Construction / Art Dpt dressing), CapeNature reserves the right to request an Environmental Impact Assessment by an independent environmental consultant and a payment of a refundable deposit to ensure rehabilition after filming has been completed. Timeous applications in these instances are therefore essential.
