Directors and filmmakers often choose on location filming to achieve a greater sense of realism and bring vivid and authentic details to their productions. But finding appropriate locations for films or sourcing the right equipment can be a challenge with lots of complicated logistics to keep in mind.
We partner not only with towns and corporate event hosts but also with imaginative filmmakers to make renting fair rides easy and rewarding. When it comes to creating a fun and colorful backdrop for your movie or TV series, nothing beats a lively fair. Think of movies like the 1978 film, “Grease,” or the carnival-centric film, “Adventureland” from 2009. Neither would be able to achieve some of their iconic scenes without real amusement rides and carnival details on set.
One of the benefits of renting fair rides from North American Midway Entertainment is the opportunity to transform your event into an exciting branded experience. We offer various ways to tie your film or TV series name, logo, and imagery into our amusement park rides and games so that your event matches your production’s theme. Usher guests into a carnival that is transformed into the world of your production by adding decals and custom elements throughout the fair experience.
Recently, North American Midway Entertainment brought the Netflix original, “Stranger Things” to life in collaboration with the Calgary Stampede. Everything from the towering ferris wheel to the popcorn we sold at food stalls offered guests a way to interact with characters and visuals of the hit TV series. It was a great opportunity to feature the season’s launch on the fairgrounds and provide an interactive experience for the show’s fans.
