On Location

Full-crew production across China

Here is the short of it. Shooting on location in China places specific demands on any production β€” from the humidity-laden streets of Guangzhou to the highland plateaus near Chengdu. From Shanghai's rooftop skylines to the ancient alleyways of Beijing's hutong districts. Our production teams are organised around local knowledge, making sure that logistics, crew planning, and on-set efficiency serve your schedule rather than fight it. We give skilled pros who have managed shoots of each scale across the country. Our pre-production process is designed to surface and resolve obstacles well before cameras roll.

Crews sized to the project, not a template β€” lean enough to move fast through Shanghai's hutongs, technical enough for Hengdian backlot scale.

Here is the breakdown. Our camera and cinematography crews bring DP services, multi-camera shoot skill, and steadicam and gimbal operation to each production. . While our lighting and grip teams handle everything from compact run-and-gun rigs to large-scale tungsten and LED setups on complex multi-department shoots. Drone videography is ready across OK'd locations. We manage all needed airspace permits as part of the pre-production workflow so your aerial sequences stay on schedule. Tech excellence and on-set efficiency are the standards our crews hold themselves to on each shoot days.

FAQs

Production FAQs

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

What crew sizes can you provide for productions in China?

Here is how this works in practice. The production team handles projects which range from two-person documentary production to 150-person feature unit operations. The typical range for commercial work shoots has 15 to 30 staff 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 extra 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 mostly gear 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 ready one.

Do your crews speak English?

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

Can you provide equipment along with crew?

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

How do Chinese crew rates compare to other countries?

Chinese rates are competitive compared to Western markets. Social insurance inputs are had in our all-in quotes so there are no surprises. For longer shoots, regional production incentives can offset qualifying spend.
