Professional and informed - their research and location logistics were excellent.

Having the right information early on is crucial to project planning, avoids delays and reduces costs.
We provide specialists to develop custom solutions, thoroughly researched and executed, which can save great expense and weeks of delay in unfamiliar international locations.
We specialise in rapid relocation to the field. You immediately benefit from having an informed and experienced representative on site, feeding you accurate, up-to-date information from the field, and able to promptly respond to production office requests.
Research
... achieved what several British and Australian researchers had previously failed to do.

Higher Educational Supplement
Whether you require a preliminary briefing or complete in-depth topic development, we provide the information you need.
Martlet conducts research on your chosen film subject.
Martlet's research team is highly experienced and qualified, allowing us to collect together the necessary information with a minimum of delay.
Our specialist areas include wildlife biology (marine and terrestrial), remote expeditions, archaeology and anthropology, extreme sports, travel, culture, heritage and history.
As well as the Martlet team of experts, we draw upon a global network of specialists.
Logistics
My father and I have had the privilege of working with Marc Blessington for over 15 years as Chief Diver and Expedition Leader on expeditions around the world. His expertise in logistics and languages were crucial to film production in the most remote marine and terrestrial locations.
Maximising efficiency, we pride ourselves on the cost-effective facilitating of projects overseas, leaving your busy in-house staff free to concentrate on their own tasks.
Whether scouting for locations, conducting feasibility assessments, identifying local fixers, arranging accommodation, transport, shipping and customs, or even undertaking full on-site logistics, Martlet will help ensure that your production proceeds as smoothly as possible.
Specialists in remote locations, we provide experts who relocate to your chosen area to, for example:
- conduct local research and fact finding
- respond to production office requests
- initiate first stage or full term location management
- feed you up-to-date local information
- facilitate necessary authorisations
Whether you need a briefing before hand and a single contact awaiting you at the airport, or assistance with the full range of logistics services, we tailor our assistance to meet your needs.
Communications
In-house bilingual assistance that kept information moving smoothly between the French and US production offices.

Ciné Marine
Distance and variations in language, sometimes even within the English language, can quickly add delay and expense.
Cultural differences, protocols, and unfamiliar work environments can also be an obstacle. Having a Martlet team member on location utilises our expertise and experience, guaranteeing:
- clear lines of communication from the field, ensuring rapid provision of up-to-date information and a rapid response to production office requests;
- clear lines of communication with local authorities to facilitate necessary authorisations - particularly important if this negates the need for after-hours communication across time zones.
Tailored Assistance
... relocation, expert assessment and immediate feedback from the field - invaluable!

Pathway Productions
Production and expedition needs vary greatly. You may only need initial inquiries made on your behalf or long term, complete on-site project logistics based overseas.
We specialise in tailoring our assistance to meet your needs, whether we are researching or co-ordinating one particular element of your project, or actively participating throughout.
Whether you require a simple departure time, a preliminary briefing, feasibility study, topic development, or complete in-depth research, we'll provide the information and logistics services you need, to your specifications.
