FAQs

Production FAQs

Common questions about our production services, crew availability, and equipment support.

What crew sizes can you provide for productions in China?

The production team handles projects which range from two-person documentary production to 150-person feature unit operations. The typical range for commercial production shoots includes 15 to 30 personnel who consist of a DP and camera team and gaffer with two electrics and key grip with a swing and sound mixer and boom op and additional staff from art department and HMU. We've crewed up Netflix series with full Chinese units and handled single-day corporate interviews with just a shooter and audio. The network scales to fit.

How quickly can you mobilize a crew in China?

Beijing-based crew can often mobilize within 24–48 hours for urgent jobsβ€”we've pulled together same-day news crews when stories break. Regional shoots need more runway; figure 5–7 days minimum for locations outside major cities. The real constraint is usually equipment availability from rental houses, not crew. If you're planning ahead, 2–3 weeks gives us time to assemble the right team rather than just the available one.

Do your crews speak English?

The department heads who include DPs and gaffers and sound mixers and 1st ADs possess English fluency and have worked on productions outside their home country. That's a baseline requirement for our network. Grips, electrics, and PAs vary, but we always ensure someone on each team can translate. For fully Chinese-speaking shoots, we have native crews across every department.

Can you provide equipment along with crew?

We work with TSF, Panavision Beijing, RVZ, and other Chinese rental houses daily. The majority of equipment packages include crew members who stay with their assigned positions because the gaffer operates from their preferred lighting location and the DP selects the camera equipment. Our company takes care of customs procedures and carnet documentation for international productions which choose to bring their own equipment. The delivery of equipment brings tested and prepared equipment to the site; we begin our work.'t send gear to set without a checkout.

How do Chinese crew rates compare to other countries?

Chinese rates run higher than Southeast Asia but below UK and US levels. Social charges represent the main factor because Chinese labor expenses require employers to make substantial payments which do not exist in the United States.'t show up in the day rate. We quote all-in costs so there are no surprises. For longer shoots, the SARFT tax credit can offset 30% of qualifying Chinese spend, which often makes China competitive with cheaper territories.
