Our production support services extend far beyond basic coordination to include complete project management from pre-production through delivery. We provide bilingual production crews fluent in both Mandarin and English, eliminating language barriers that often complicate international productions.

We handle all necessary permits and permissions, including those for historical sites and protected areas, while our casting services connect you with talented local actors and presenters who understand Western production standards.
High-End Equipment and Workflows
Quality equipment selection is fundamental to successful video production, which is why we maintain an extensive inventory of professional gear from leading manufacturers. Our camera packages include the latest models from Canon, Sony, and Arri, complemented by professional lighting systems from brands like Aputure and Kino Flo. For specialized shooting requirements, we provide Steadicam operators, jib arms, and motion control systems. Our licensed drone pilots operate DJI Inspire and Matrice series drones equipped with high-resolution cameras for stunning aerial perspectives of Suzhou’s skyline and surrounding landscapes. We also offer professional audio recording equipment from Sound Devices and Sennheiser to ensure crystal-clear sound quality in any environment.

Our award-winning documentary filmmaker, Yann Ma, brings additional expertise as a news fixer, having coordinated coverage for major international broadcasters. This diverse experience means we can anticipate challenges before they arise and implement effective solutions.
Production Logistics Management
Successful video production in China requires meticulous logistical planning, particularly for international crews unfamiliar with local customs and procedures. We manage all transportation arrangements, including vehicle rentals with experienced drivers who know Suzhou’s intricate road systems and traffic patterns. Accommodation booking services ensure your team stays in conveniently located hotels with amenities suited to production schedules. Catering coordination provides nutritious meals that accommodate dietary restrictions while keeping your crew energized throughout long shooting days. We also handle equipment customs clearance for international gear, insurance documentation, and emergency contingency planning.
Cultural and Regulatory Navigation
Understanding Chinese cultural norms and regulatory requirements is essential for trouble-free production. Our fixer services include cultural briefing sessions that help international crews understand local customs, communication styles, and business etiquette. We navigate China’s complex filming permit system, securing necessary approvals from cultural bureaus, public security offices, and location management authorities. For productions involving historical sites or culturally sensitive locations, we provide expert guidance on preservation requirements and respectful filming practices. This cultural mediation prevents misunderstandings that could delay production or damage relationships with local stakeholders.
