Why Beijing Demands Expert Production Support

Beijing’s dynamic filming environment presents both opportunities and challenges:

  • Location Logistics: Permitting for historic sites like the Forbidden City or hutong alleys
  • Bilingual Coordination: Bridging communication between international crews and local vendors
  • Equipment Sourcing: Accessing ARRI Alexa or RED cameras with compatible support gear
  • Talent Management: Casting through our network of Beijing-based agencies

Case Study: High-Profile Commercial in the 798 Art District

When a luxury brand needed to film across three Beijing locations in one day, our team:

  1. Secured rare after-hours access to the Galaxy SOHO complex
  2. Coordinated a 12-person local crew with 3 international DP
  3. Managed simultaneous Arri LF and Sony Venice camera setups

The result? A 2-day shoot completed in 14 hours with $18K in location cost savings.
