Jakarta and Bali Indonesia Film Locations
The metropolis of Jakarta can offer many unique exterior looks, with both Asian and Western urban themes. It is not uncommon to find proper 3-4 lane western-style boulevards and then turn a corner and happen upon a motorbike rolling along an unpaved road.
Jakarta truly provides both an advanced and traditional city landscape. Some of the largest sound stages in Asia are also located in Indonesia, as well as Davinci Grading, Flame Suites, CG teams, and VFX services. A host of film production services are all on call in Indonesia.
The historically rich island paradise of Bali has a much more relaxed feeling to it. It is a completely separate island and is a very popular tourist destination. Culturally it’s religion is primarily Hinduism, a stark contrast to the rest of Indonesia’s majority Muslim population.
Bali is a great place to film against breathtaking oceanside cliffs, in restaurants and bars, and on some of the world’s most renowned surf spots. Many documentaries choose to shoot in Bali due to the diverse subject and story content available there. Because of this, a multitude of foreign filmmakers have set up production there and remain available to assist with filming, shooting, and permits.
