PHINICINEMA. Films for the ships that sail Komodo.
Photo and video production for yachts and phinisi, based in Labuan Bajo.
We use our cameras to make you money.
Guests book the trip they can already picture. We film your vessel the way they hope to remember it: from the air, at the waterline and inside the cabins. That gives guests a reason to book, owners a ship they are proud to show, and agents listings that stand out.
Films
Three films, from the air, on deck and inside.
Gallery
Eight vessels, photographed from the air, on deck and inside.
Services
What we make
Promotional videos
Short films that show the ship, the route and the experience on board, so a guest can picture the whole trip before booking.
Interior and exterior photography
Cabins, salons, decks and the hull, lit and framed so every space reads clearly, from wide views of each room to the ship at anchor.
Social media content
Vertical cuts, reels and photo sets made for the feed, in the same calm, natural grade as the films.
Company profile videos
Films about the people and the operation behind a vessel, an agency or a fleet, told for clients and partners.

Notes on Komodo, life on a phinisi, and photographing your trip.
What Is a Phinisi? Timber, Sail and South Sulawesi
The tall two-masted boats in Labuan Bajo harbor carry a long history: a distinctive rig, a hull built by eye, and a craft UNESCO recognized in 2017.
Underwater Photos in Komodo: Shallow Light, Slow Fins
Water filters color and sharpness before you take the picture. Habits for clearer, warmer reef photos, from staying near the surface to waiting for slack water, that leave the coral untouched.
When to Visit Komodo: Dry Hills, Green Water
Boats sail to Komodo in every season, each with its own trade-offs. Here is how rain, wind, water temperature and manta behavior shift across the year, and how to pick dates that suit your trip.
