Marine Services

Coordinating
Crosby Marine Film Services Inc. offers a coordinating service to assist with filming, from the preliminary ideas to the finished concept, and the list of credits illustrates a proven track record. Respected in the industry and continually utilized by the productions being created in British Columbia, Crosby Marine will provide all the information you will require while filming on the water.

Stunts
Whether its actor/stunt training, or actually performing the stunts, Crosby Marine can handle and/or be involved with any stunts that take place on the water. With the knowledge of Crosby Marine’s safety diver coordinator and marine coordinator, the Crosby Marine Film Services Inc. team will work with the production’s stunt coordinator throughout the stunt to make sure it is performed safely and efficiently. Safety is always the first concern with stunts and Crosby Marine always has a safety dive team standing by.

Scouting
Because of the number of years Crosby Marine has been working in British Columbia, they can bring you to the perfect location for your shooting needs. Crosby Marine will not only provide the ideal environment for your shoot, but also provide you with accurate tide charts, local knowledge of the marine weather patterns, and proper permits needed for the different scenes being filmed.

Crosby Marine Services Inc. knows the locally-based locations that are popular with film productions because of the scenery and accessibility they offer, and they also know of locations that are not-so-accessible, but have equally beautiful scenery. They can provide you with photos of various locations that may be suitable for your shoot, and if they don’t have the photos, they will scout for them for you.

Wherever it is you choose to film, Crosby Marine will be able to provide crew/equipment transport from anything to minimal crew filming to the full crew/circus being barged/transported to remote areas.

Charts
Crosby Marine Services Inc. will provide your production with both navigational and tide charts.

With the navigation charts Crosby Marine will be able to determine what type of background will be in your shot, and where you will be in relation to shipping channels/hazards, etc. to help situate the filming location at the most ideal location given all variables.

Crosby Marine will also provide tidal charts detailing the tide changes each half hour; productions usually find these tide change charts very informative, attaching them to call sheets.

Safety
Crosby Marine considers safety a crucial element for a successful film shoot. There are many hazards that may go unnoticed by the general film crew. Crosby Marine works in association with Reel Divers Inc. and together we have tailored our safety protocol specific to marine film work. We have the experience, skills, equipment, and knowledge required to react quickly to the rapidly changing risk levels that can arise on set.

Our experience allows us to anticipate problems well in advance making prevention our main goal.
