Filming in Australia is not seasonally restricted and most locations can be utilised year round. Being in the Southern Hemisphere with opposite seasons to the UK and USA, enables scheduled winter productions to be produced in sunshine! You can generally find blue sky in Australia year round, however the official seasons are Summer: Dec-Feb; Autumn: Mar-May; Winter: June-Aug; Spring: Sept-Nov.
In New Zealand the elements are the creators of beautiful locations such as magnificent Glaciers and Snowy Alps, which have starred in innumerable feature films and commercials. "Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of The Ring" shows a great example of the exquisite beauty of the New Zealand landscape, which transforms throughout the seasons.
Cinematographers around the world are constantly amazed by the quality of light unique to this part of the world due to our global position, low pollution levels and powerful natural atmosphere.
