Hey all, 

My wife and I have been back and forth on a huge life decision to move from Canada to somewhere in Europe. We are thinking Spain (somewhere near Barcelona) but I have no connects in Europe so I have no sense of how busy it is over there. I’m looking to get some insight from a few of you to give me a sense in there’s enough steadicam / traditional operating work over there. 
 

and insight from y’all will help! 
 

thanks

Not as competitive and oversupplied as London. I've DoP'd a few times in Spain and the good guys are always double booked and the newer intake seem far busier than London. 

I will say that my interpretation of Spain is there is a larger portion of service work than London so service production companies and producers are more valuable to chase as the low hanging fruit than directors and DoPs . 

Good Luck

It very crowded. Very competitive market and hard to get jobs. that is all I can tell you.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I see, that seems to be the case in most areas where film making is prevalent

Economic and socially or are you specifically saying for the film industry in Europe? 

well at least germany is,we lost like 70-80% of production volume in the last 2-3 years to service productions abroad, mostly eastern europe and atm austria, which will collapse as soon as they update their funding rules
