The Central Oregon Community College comprises of multiple buildings with stunning architecture, all located in the high desert and surrounded by old ponderosas and expansive mountain views.

With buildings ranging from the 1960’s to present day, there’s a vibe for whatever shoot you have.  

A light filled library can double as an art gallery, and many rooms have towering ceilings with gorgeous light streaming through year round.

The campus has a total of 26 different buildings, the most recently built being the residence hall in 2015. The location provides views of the Cascade Mountains, with ample production parking and expansive hallways for easy filming.

Location fee to be paid to COCC.

Paulina Lake is stunning, surrounded by towering Ponderosa’s and is located in the center of Newberry Crater National Monument.  This is Federal Land, and therefore may be difficult to receive permits to film within.  If you have enough advance notice (60 days), we can work with you to film here provided your shoot follows certain guidelines.

There is a restaurant and cabins on site, and a large area for parking.

Approximately 20 minutes from accommodation in La Pine, and an hour from Bend.

For a permit to be approved, guidelines must be adhered to:

“A plan was established to provide management direction for the Monument.  In the plan, proposals for new commercial uses such as filming/photography were to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis but each must be in keeping with the purposes of the Monument and legislation to be approved.  As such, typical commercial filming would not meet the definition and would be denied.  However, filming/photography that provides for the conservation, protection, interpretation, and enhancement of the Monument to a general public is acceptable.”

Expansive ranch on Highway 27 between Brothers and Roberts.  Multiple barns and cattle corrals on site.  Hill backdrop for contained shots.  Horses and cattle on site (red and black angus mixed together).  Small canyon and river flowing through the property.

2o minutes outside of Prineville for easy accommodation and services access (or 30 minutes from Bend via Highway 20).

Scenic views of deep river canyons or rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is a stunning and unique location. There are several thousand climbs in the park allowing for multiple shoots. With more than a thousand are bolted routes, there is also miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. 

Due to the uniqueness and fragile aspect of the park, park rangers enforce the animal leash law and strongly encourage all park users to stay on trails.  Permits must be applied for 30 days prior to shooting.

During the high season (Spring and Fall) there is only one permit per month issued for productions or events. During Summer and Winter that increases to two per month. 

 

Tumalo State Park is located in Tumalo. about 20 minutes from Bend.  Close to accommodation and services.  Viable year round as a recreation location for swimming, kayaking and  rock climbing.
