filming for an "
" commercial
B. Amsterdam, a multifunctional film and photo shoot location, recently served as the setting for a striking commercial shoot for a nationally and internationally renowned pizza chain. The choice of B. Amsterdam as the film shoot location and indoor venue for the photo shoot was certainly no coincidence. At B. Amsterdam, we make sure anything is possible. B. offers a wide range of spaces suitable for various purposes. Whether it’s for business meetings, creative events, or, in this case, filming for an advertising campaign, B. Amsterdam provides the right atmosphere and facilities.

That's a wrap!
The day started early. At 6:00 a.m., we welcomed the crew and the first extras with a delicious breakfast. Warm croissants, fresh yogurt with homemade granola, fruit, sandwiches; everyone could start the day however they liked. The crew could get fresh coffee, tea, and water all day long from the vending machine that was reserved exclusively for them. At 10:00 a.m., American cookies, muffins, and other tasty pastries were ready. Lunch was served in Building B.3, where they had since moved. The day ended with a “wrap-up” to toast today’s success! And no, no wraps were served during this gathering…
Camera robot
One of the most striking aspects of this shoot was the use of a camera robot weighing an impressive 500 kilograms. This robot allowed the director to capture beautiful, fluid camera movements that added an extra dimension to the commercial. The precision and versatility of this technology made it possible to showcase the pizza chain in a unique way.
B. Amsterdam as a film and photo shoot location
Within the walls of B. Amsterdam, special attention was also paid to creating the perfect setting for the shoot. A separate room was made available for the extras to get ready and prepare for their scenes. This room was equipped with professional makeup and styling services, ensuring the extras looked their best on camera. This makes B. the perfect location for a photo shoot as well!
The decision to choose B. Amsterdam as a film shoot location was therefore certainly justified. The versatility of the spaces, both indoors and outdoors, the use of advanced technology such as the camera robot, and the attention to detail—such as the special area for extras and the catering—made this shoot a great success.
The commercial filmed here will be broadcast both nationally and internationally, showcasing the pizza chain to the public in an appealing way. B. Amsterdam has once again proven itself to be an ideal location for creative projects of all kinds, and the combination of facilities and expertise made this shoot an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!
“It was a real pleasure working with and at B. Amsterdam. We found the event manager to be exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and, as a result, a positive experience. We were very satisfied with the options offered and the flexibility of the venues. We look forward to working with you again :-)”
