Our Beijing Production Capabilities
We tailor our services to your project’s scale and specific requirements, providing customized solutions for productions of all sizes.
1. Pre-Production Planning
Our Beijing-based fixers secure permits, cast talent, and scout iconic or off-the-beaten-path locations—like 798 Art District or historic siheyuans. We conduct thorough location assessments, create detailed shooting schedules, and handle all necessary government approvals and paperwork. Our team researches local regulations and cultural considerations to ensure a smooth production process from day one.
2. On-Site Execution
Skilled gaffers and DPs manage lighting setups (e.g., Aputure 600D for controlled interiors), while bilingual PAs streamline communication between international and local team members. Our production coordinators maintain strict timelines, manage crew logistics, and troubleshoot any on-set challenges that may arise during filming. We ensure all departments work in harmony to achieve your creative vision efficiently.
3. Post-Production Services
Editors fluent in English and Mandarin deliver polished cuts with motion graphics or localized subtitles. Our post-production team works closely with you to ensure the final product meets your creative standards while adhering to delivery specifications. We coordinate color grading, sound mixing, and visual effects to create a cohesive final product that resonates with your target audience.
Case Study: Global Brand Commercial
For a luxury automaker, we coordinated a 30-person crew across three Beijing locations in one day, managing 4K multicam setups and drone cinematography—delivering final edits within 72 hours. Our team handled complex logistics including traffic management, crowd control, and weather contingencies while maintaining the client’s premium brand standards throughout the production process.
Comprehensive Location Management
Beijing offers diverse filming environments from ancient historical sites to modern urban landscapes. Our location managers have extensive knowledge of the city’s unique filming opportunities and restrictions.
