Personnel<br />
Cinematographers, set and costume designers,<br />
key technicians, animators, puppeteers, stunt<br />
performers, production and location managers<br />
continue to develop their experience with the<br />
increasing volume of international productions<br />
shot in Romania. Many are on the regular staff of<br />
the two major studios, Castel Film and MediaPro<br />
Studios, and there are many good freelance crew<br />
people also on the market. During the last years,<br />
teams of experienced electrical and grip personnel<br />
set up their own companies, and are now offering<br />
their services to the interested producers.<br />
Casting<br />
Local casting agencies maintain exhaustive photo<br />
files for principal talent and extras. Romania can<br />
offer experienced English, French, German and<br />
Italian speaking actors. Among our internationally-recognized<br />
stars are such familiar faces as<br />
Marcel Iures (with main roles in THE PEACE-<br />
MAKER and HART’S WAR) and Maia Morgenstern<br />
(in ULYSSES’ GAZE and THE PASSION OF THE<br />
CHRIST) and Oana Pellea (CHILDREN OF MEN, I<br />
REALLY HATE MY JOB).<br />
RODEO CASTING SERVICES and EXIT FILMS<br />
have in their portfolio professional actors as well<br />
as amateurs, and lots of choices of extras for<br />
feature films or commercials.<br />
LIBRA FILM has worked for films such as<br />
Michael Haneke’s WOLFZEIT and Veit Helmer’s<br />
TU VALU.<br />
Larger studios (Castel Film or MediaPro Studios)<br />
have their own in-house casting departments.<br />
Costumes<br />
Romania has one of the biggest textile industries<br />
in Europe. Working at the highest standards, local<br />
teams of costume designers and seamstresses<br />
can make the best costumes to order. From<br />
military to civilian, men and women, ancient to<br />
contemporary, you can find here a vast collection<br />
of costumes with a complete assortment of accessories:<br />
wigs, bonnets, belts, hoods, handbags, fur<br />
adornments, boots, bowlers, umbrellas or walking<br />
sticks. Low labor costs allow artists to fully explore<br />
their passion, and most foreign designers who<br />
have worked here had the time of their lives. Nic<br />
Ende, costume designer for the BBC period film<br />
GUNPOWDER, TREASON AND PLOT, declared:<br />
“Normally I cannot afford, on my budget, to make<br />
the quality and quantity of principals’ costumes<br />
that I’m making on this“. More than 300 costumes,<br />
including boots and shoes, were made<br />
for the film in the MediaPro Studios’ by a team of<br />
twenty.<br />
Post-Production<br />
Romania offers post-production services and fully<br />
integrated facilities, allowing further cost control<br />
for producers. Most of the studios offer complete<br />
editing, transfer, titles and CGI effects.<br />
The largest CGI facility in Romania is located at<br />
MediaPro Studios, where the latest technology in<br />
terms of Computer Generated Imagery is operated<br />
by highly trained personnel.<br />
