We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that Beijing presents for filmmakers, combining local knowledge with international standards to deliver exceptional results that meet global production quality expectations.
Why Choose Our Film Art Coordination Services?
Beijing’s dynamic landscape offers a wealth of filming opportunities, from historic landmarks to modern urban settings. However, navigating permits, local crews, and logistical challenges requires seasoned professionals. Here’s how we deliver exceptional results:
- Bilingual Art Direction: Our Mandarin and English-speaking teams bridge cultural and linguistic gaps, ensuring clear communication with local crews and vendors. This eliminates misunderstandings and streamlines the creative process, allowing for more efficient collaboration between international directors and local production teams.
- Location Scouting & Set Design: From traditional hutongs to futuristic CBDs, we secure visually striking locations tailored to your narrative. Our extensive database of approved locations includes both well-known landmarks and hidden gems that provide unique visual backdrops for your production.
- High-End Equipment: Access top-tier gear from brands like Arri, Sony, and Canon, paired with skilled technicians for optimal setups. We maintain relationships with the best equipment rental houses in Beijing, ensuring you get the right tools for your specific production requirements and budget.
- Turnkey Production: Full-service support—from pre-production planning to post-production editing—streamlines your workflow. Our comprehensive approach means you have a single point of contact throughout the entire production process, reducing complexity and ensuring consistency across all aspects of your project.

Our local expertise combined with international production standards ensures that every project meets the highest quality expectations while respecting local regulations and cultural considerations.
1. Art Department Support
From prop sourcing to set construction, our art teams align with your creative direction while adhering to local regulations. We maintain relationships with prop houses, artisans, and construction teams throughout Beijing, enabling us to source or create exactly what your production needs. Whether you require authentic historical artifacts or custom-built modern sets, our art coordination services ensure every visual element supports your storytelling vision.
2. Lighting & Cinematography
We deploy advanced lighting rigs and camera systems (e.g., RED Komodo, ARRI Alexa) to achieve cinematic quality, whether shooting in studio or on location. Our cinematography teams understand how to work with Beijing’s unique light conditions and architectural environments, creating stunning visual compositions that enhance your narrative. We provide both equipment and experienced operators who can adapt to the specific challenges of filming in urban Beijing environments.
3. Permits & Logistics
Our local fixers expedite permits for shoots in restricted areas like the Forbidden City or 798 Art District, minimizing delays. We navigate the complex bureaucracy of Beijing’s filming regulations efficiently, handling everything from location permits to traffic control arrangements. Our established relationships with local authorities mean we can often secure permissions that might be challenging for production companies without local representation.
Client Success Stories
Recent projects in Beijing include a luxury automotive commercial featuring drone footage along the Great Wall and a documentary series highlighting local artisans. By leveraging our film art coordination expertise, clients saved 20% in production time while exceeding creative expectations. One particularly challenging project involved coordinating a multi-day shoot across three different historical sites in Beijing, requiring careful scheduling and coordination with multiple government departments. Our team successfully managed all logistics while maintaining the director’s creative vision throughout the production process.
Beyond Beijing: Pan-China Production Support
While Beijing is a focal point, our services extend to Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. Whether you need a bilingual crew in Shanghai or aerial filming in Chongqing, we’ve got you covered. Our nationwide network allows us to provide consistent quality and service standards across China, making it easier for international productions to film in multiple locations without having to coordinate with different local providers in each city.
Industry Partnerships and Resources
Our strong relationships with Beijing’s film industry stakeholders give us access to resources that might otherwise be unavailable to international productions. We work regularly with local film bureaus, studio facilities, equipment suppliers, and talent agencies, ensuring we can assemble the perfect team and resources for your specific project requirements.
