Thermal Imaging
Heat visualization for your Czech production.
Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation to visualize heat signatures invisible to standard cameras. In the Czech Republic this technology supports rich wildlife filmmaking—tracking red deer in the Sumava forests, wild boar in Bohemian woodlands, European bison in protected reserves, and white storks nesting in South Moravia—while also delivering value across Ostrava's heavy industry, automotive plants in Mlada Boleslav, and beer breweries in Plzen.
We source professional FLIR thermal systems and infrared cinematographers across the Czech Republic and Central Europe, working with the Czech Film Commission, Barrandov Studios, and the Prague Film Office. Our team coordinates equipment customs through Celni sprava, secures permits at Krkonose and Sumava national parks, and ensures your thermal footage qualifies for the 30% Czech Film 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 Czech wildlife—detecting red deer in dense Sumava forests at night, wild boar in Bohemian woodlands, lynx and European bison in protected reserves, and white storks roosting in South Moravia, all without illumination that might disturb the animals.
Is thermal footage useful for documentaries?
Thermal adds a unique perspective to documentaries shot in the Czech Republic—visualizing energy loss in historic Prague Castle and Cesky Krumlov, revealing manufacturing processes inside Ostrava steelworks and Skoda automotive plants, or capturing nocturnal forest wildlife in Krkonose and Sumava national parks.
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.
