Comprehensive Production Support Across China
While headquartered in Shanghai, our production services extend nationwide with specialized expertise in Beijing’s unique filming landscape. Our complete production packages include bilingual crew coordination, professional fixers who navigate local regulations, and comprehensive logistical support that handles everything from permits to transportation. We manage location scouting throughout Beijing’s diverse urban environments—from historic hutongs to modern business districts—and coordinate casting sessions across major Chinese cities including Chengdu and Guangzhou. This end-to-end approach allows you to concentrate entirely on creative direction while we handle the complex operational details of filming in China.
State-of-the-Art Equipment and Professional Workflows
Our Beijing-based cinematography team utilizes premium equipment from leading manufacturers including Canon cinema cameras, Sony professional video systems, and Arri lighting solutions. For aerial cinematography needs, we partner with certified drone operators licensed for Beijing’s specific airspace regulations. Our technical expertise extends to complex lighting setups for interior scenes, steadycam operations for dynamic movement, and multi-camera configurations for large-scale productions. The post-production phase receives equal attention through our editing studios offering color grading, motion graphics, sound design, and video localization services that ensure your final content meets international broadcast standards and cultural expectations.
