We engaged the services of Camera Crew Spain/Bonitaworld to assist in the production of the TVC, and it was by far the most important decision that we made in the entire production process. Having to coordinate the information for the TVC shoot from Beijing would have been impossible with out the assistance of Markus Ruf as we faced dual pressures of late production request and preparation and the difficult nature of the shoot location (shooting in a small space inside the AC Hotel in Madrid. Markus’ proved invaluable in helping liaise with the venue including visiting the hotel and also sourcing additional locations of his own intiative, his astute selection of the production crew and the sourcing of the technical equipment as well as his foresight in identifying potential production issues proved crucial to us in producing a quality TVC.… During the production, the team was professional, respectful and efficient, allowing us to achieve our production desires and ensure that the players were comfortable and enjoyed the shoot experience. Having worked with numerous production skills during my career in PR and marketing, I was pleasantly impressed by the services provided by Markus and the Camera Crew Spain/Bonitaworld team. I would have no hesitation in engaging Bonitaworld to produce content for China Open should the need arise in the future and would strongly recommend Camera Crew Spain/Bonitaworld as a production partner to other organisations. Best regards, Stephen Duckitt.
Markus Ruf served as my local producer on a 90 minute, prime-time special about Barcelona which I directed for Canal Plus in France. This was not your run-of-the-mill documentary; it involved the hiring of actors, extras, props, special effects, costumes, and numerous long shooting days with multiple locations. Through it all Markus and his team at Camera Crew Spain handled it all with calm professionalism and a ‘can-do’ spirit. He supplied me with top researchers, camera operators, and sound engineers who could function in any language I needed – in my case English and French. I cannot recommend Makus and Camera Crew Spain highly enough. I make programs all over the world and know how difficult it is to find top quality production services on location. Markus Ruf is someone you can definitely trust to get the job done – and somehow he always does it with enthusiasm and a smile.
Markus and his team at Camera Crew Spain are an absolute pleasure to work with. Super friendly, professional and resourceful. Markus is wonderfully reliable, efficient and consistently offering cost-effective solutions to various challenges with his top team.
“I am writing to recommend the services of Camera Crew Spain.” I have been using Camera Crew Spain to support our video production needs in and around Barcelona for the past ten years, and have always been completely satisfied. They do an excellent job, are always punctual, and offer a good range of equipment and skilled crew at some of the most competitive rates in town. We have also hired them on occasion at the very last minute for extra projects, ENG work, 4k – HD, Producer, Directors, transportation scouting etc They have been very accommodating to our requirements and we have always been delighted with their professionalism and customer service ” I’m happy to recommend the services of Camera Crew Spain.
Markus was recommended to me by one of my colleagues at VCCP. When I met him for the first time, I couldn’t agree more with all the amazing feedback received before that moment. Professionalism, reliability and strong work ethic are only 3 of the many qualities I found in Markus and his team. In less than 2 weeks, he managed to find the best Spanish crew we could ask for. Also my client was very happy with the final outcome of the photo and TV shoot. I hope there will be other occasions to work with Markus again in the future.
Markus is an exceptional Producer and most importantly an incredibly kind and approachable person. I have had the immense pleasure to work with Markus and his carefully-assembled top crews in Spain and I can’t recommending him enough – he’s my go-to-contact there, a hidden gem in the production world! I would describe him as a wonderful professional with excellent people and budget managing skills and an absolute commitment and passion to bring a project to life. Look forward to working with him again!
Camera Crew Spain is our go-to provider for production services in Spain. Detail-oriented, keen problem-solvers, honest, friendly and eager to go above and beyond, Markus and his team have worked with us on numerous occasions and always delivered. We highly recommend them to any company looking for a rock-solid partner to take on the most serious challenges.
I was lucky enough to work with Markus in a big production in Spain last month. His work ethic, professionalism and personality are truly incredible. In only one week, he was able to organize a crew with talented people and make everything happen in the smoothest way possible. I was told Markus had a special “aura” and this is absolutely true. It has been a privilege for me working with him and I really hope there will be other opportunities in the near future.
