Livett’s Launches has an enviable reputation for operational excellence which has attracted some interesting work over the past few months. As well as many smaller productions, and operating the busiest fleet of passenger boats on the river, there have been some exciting jobs:
Filming of Harry Potter & the Philosophers Stone
Six months of preparation work saw Harry Potter and his friends from Hogwarts propelled around the Thames in Central London over a week long film shoot (so it will appear in the movie).
Chris Livett coordinated the shoot which incorporated a vast fleet of boats of all shapes and sizes. Chris also stared in the filming as the Captain of the Golden Salamander; Waterman to the Queen and Waterman to Hollywood...
Livett’s reputation of excellence has developed using only local crew and suppliers, where possible. Over the years this has resulted in a professional, experienced, loyal and keen team with a wide selection of boats fulfilling even the most demanding of requirements
If you are interested in filming on the Thames please feel free to calls us to discuss your requirements in more detail.
