We provide complete coverage for major metropolitan areas including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and many other cities throughout the country. Our comprehensive service portfolio encompasses every aspect of production support, from initial concept development through final delivery.

Our filming support services begin with thorough pre-production planning, where we help clients develop their creative vision, establish realistic timelines, and create detailed production schedules. We specialize in location scouting and management, leveraging our extensive network and local knowledge to secure the perfect filming sites that align with your creative vision and practical requirements. Our team handles all necessary permits, legal clearances, and local regulations to ensure smooth, compliant operations throughout your production.

Casting services form another critical component of our filming support offerings. We maintain relationships with talented actors, models, and presenters across China, enabling us to assemble the perfect cast for your specific project requirements. Whether you need professional actors for dramatic roles, authentic local talent for documentary work, or charismatic presenters for corporate videos, our casting expertise ensures you find the right people for your production.

Production insurance represents a vital aspect of comprehensive filming support, and we provide tailored insurance solutions that protect your investment against unforeseen circumstances. From equipment damage and production delays to liability coverage and location security, our insurance partners offer policies specifically designed for film productions operating in China’s unique environment.

Equipment rental constitutes another cornerstone of our filming support services. We maintain an extensive inventory of professional-grade cameras, lighting equipment, sound recording gear, and specialized production tools. Our equipment ranges from cinema cameras like Arri Alexa and Red Dragon to professional lighting kits, drone systems for aerial cinematography, and advanced audio recording equipment. All equipment undergoes regular maintenance and calibration to ensure optimal performance during your shoot.

Our camera crews and cinematographers bring exceptional technical skill and creative vision to every project. Specializing in commercial productions, feature films, and documentary work, our teams understand how to capture compelling visuals that tell your story effectively. We stay current with the latest cinematography techniques and technologies, ensuring your project benefits from both technical excellence and artistic innovation.

Beyond technical filming support, we offer comprehensive creative services including script writing, story development, and narrative structuring. Our creative team works collaboratively with clients to transform initial concepts into compelling screenplays that resonate with target audiences. Whether you need commercial scripts, documentary narratives, or feature film screenplays, our writers combine storytelling expertise with cultural understanding to create content that works effectively in the Chinese market.

Post-production represents the final phase of our integrated filming support services. Our editing teams specialize in crafting cohesive narratives from raw footage, employing advanced editing techniques to maintain pacing, build emotional impact, and ensure visual continuity. We provide color grading services to establish the perfect visual tone for your project, whether you’re aiming for naturalistic realism or stylized visual treatments. Additional post-production services include sound design, audio mixing, visual effects, motion graphics, and subtitle creation in multiple languages.

What truly distinguishes our filming support is our deep understanding of China’s unique production landscape. We navigate cultural nuances, local regulations, and logistical challenges that international productions often face when filming in China. Our bilingual team serves as cultural interpreters and production facilitators, ensuring that creative visions translate effectively across cultural boundaries while maintaining production efficiency.
