Ensuring Film Shooting Safety in China: Best Practices & Expert Solutions

Why Film Shooting Safety in China Matters

Producing high-quality video content in China requires meticulous planning, especially when it comes to safety. From navigating local regulations to managing complex shoots in bustling cities like Shanghai or remote locations in Chengdu, ensuring a secure filming environment is paramount. At Shoot in China, we combine decades of expertise with local know-how to mitigate risks and deliver seamless productions.

Navigating China’s Filming Regulations

China has strict permitting and safety protocols for film crews, particularly for aerial drone shots or large-scale productions. Our bilingual team handles permits, liaises with authorities, and ensures compliance with regional laws—whether you’re shooting in Beijing’s historic hutongs or Shenzhen’s tech hubs.

On-Set Safety Protocols

We implement international safety standards, including:

  • Equipment Checks: Regular maintenance of ARRI, Sony, and Canon gear to prevent malfunctions.
  • Crew Training: Certified drone pilots and stunt coordinators for high-risk sequences.
  • Location Scouting: Assessing sites for hazards like uneven terrain or electrical risks.

Case Study: A Secure Commercial Shoot in Shanghai

For a global automotive brand, we managed a nighttime shoot on Shanghai’s Bund, coordinating with local police to secure permits, deploying anti-slip mats for crew safety, and using explosion-proof lighting. The result? A flawless production with zero incidents.
