Thermal Imaging
Heat visualization for your Peruvian production.
Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation to visualize heat signatures invisible to standard cameras. In Peru this technology supports extraordinary wildlife filmmaking from Andean llamas, alpacas, and condors in the Cordillera Blanca to Amazon jaguars, pink river dolphins, and thousands of bird species in Manu and Tambopata national reserves, while delivering essential coverage of Cerro Verde and Antamina mining operations, the fishing industry at Callao port, and Inca terrace farming systems in the Sacred Valley.
We source professional FLIR thermal systems and infrared cinematographers across Peru and South America, working with PromPeru Film Commission and APU Productions in Lima. Our team coordinates equipment customs through SUNAT, secures MinCultura permits at Machu Picchu and other heritage sites, and arranges access to Manu and Huascaran national parks, ensuring your project can leverage Peru's diverse landscapes from coast to Andes to Amazon.

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 Peruvian wildlife—detecting jaguars and ocelots in dense Amazon rainforest, locating Andean condors at high mountain roosts, tracking spectacled bears in cloud forests, and revealing pink river dolphins surfacing in Amazon tributaries, all without disturbing rare and endangered species.
Is thermal footage useful for documentaries?
Thermal adds a unique perspective to documentaries shot in Peru—visualizing the heat efficiency of ancient Inca masonry at Machu Picchu and Sacsayhuaman, capturing operations at high-altitude copper mines, revealing nocturnal Amazon wildlife activity, or documenting llama and alpaca herds in the Andean highlands.
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.
