Case Study: Global Brand Campaign
For a Fortune 500 client, we orchestrated a 12-city shoot across China, managing 200+ crew members and delivering 4K footage ahead of schedule. Our location scouts secured rare access to Shanghai’s Bund for a sunrise shoot. This complex production required coordinating multiple shooting units simultaneously while maintaining consistent creative standards across diverse geographical locations. We managed customs clearance for specialized equipment, arranged accommodations for international talent, and implemented a sophisticated communication system to keep all stakeholders informed throughout the six-week production period. The successful completion of this project demonstrates our capability to handle large-scale film executive production in China with precision and professionalism.
Industry Partnerships and Local Connections
Our established relationships with Chinese film bureaus, production studios, and equipment rental houses enable us to provide services that would be challenging for foreign production companies to arrange independently. We maintain current knowledge of regional filming incentives and tax rebate programs that can significantly reduce production costs. Our local connections extend to talent agencies, permitting offices, and post-production facilities, creating a seamless production ecosystem for our clients.
