Thermal Imaging
Heat visualization for your Spanish production.
Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation to visualize heat signatures invisible to standard cameras. In Spain this technology supports rich wildlife filmmaking from the rare Iberian lynx in Donana, imperial eagles in Extremadura, and brown bears in Asturias to flamingos in the Ebro Delta and Mediterranean marine life along the Costa Brava—while delivering essential coverage of Bilbao's Basque automotive sector, Andalusian solar power installations, La Rioja wineries, and Spain's high-speed AVE rail infrastructure.
We source professional FLIR thermal systems and infrared cinematographers across Spain and Europe, working with the Spain Film Commission, Ciudad de la Luz in Alicante, and regional film offices in Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands. Our team coordinates equipment customs through Aduanas, secures AESA aerial permits, and arranges access to the Alhambra and other heritage sites, ensuring your thermal footage qualifies for Spain's 30% tax incentive.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What can thermal cameras visualize?
Thermal cameras detect heat radiation, visualizing temperature differences. They can show body heat, engine heat, electrical hotspots, heat loss from buildings, and even recent contact traces on surfaces.
What resolution is available?
Professional thermal cameras range from 320x240 to 640x480 and higher. While lower than visible light cameras, modern thermal sensors provide detailed imagery suitable for HD and 4K production.
What are the color palette options?
Thermal cameras offer various palettes—white-hot, black-hot, ironbow (rainbow), and many others. Each provides different aesthetic looks and can be selected based on creative requirements.
Can thermal be used for wildlife?
Yes, thermal imaging is excellent for Spanish wildlife—detecting the critically endangered Iberian lynx in Donana National Park, locating imperial eagles in Extremadura, tracking brown bears in the Asturian mountains, and revealing flamingo flocks in the Ebro Delta lagoons, all without disturbing protected species.
Is thermal footage useful for documentaries?
Thermal adds a unique perspective to documentaries shot in Spain—visualizing the heat patterns of Andalusian solar power plants and concentrated solar fields, revealing precision processes inside Bilbao automotive and Basque steelworks, capturing thermal architecture in the Alhambra, or documenting La Rioja wine production.
Can thermal footage be composited?
Yes, thermal footage can be composited with visible light footage or used as creative elements. Post-production can enhance thermal imagery for specific visual effects or scientific presentations.
