Why Shanghai is a Prime Destination for Film Location Scouting
Shanghai, with its blend of modern skyscrapers and historic alleyways, offers filmmakers a dynamic backdrop for any project. As a leading production house based in Shanghai, we specialize in film location scouting to ensure your shoot captures the perfect setting. Our team leverages local expertise and an extensive network to secure permits, negotiate access, and streamline logistics.
Comprehensive Location Scouting Services
From corporate videos to feature films, our services cover every aspect of location scouting:
- Pre-visualization: We provide detailed recces, including 360-degree photos and drone footage.
- Permit Coordination: Handling government approvals for shoots in restricted areas like The Bund or French Concession.
- Logistics Management: Arranging parking, power sources, and crew accommodations near the site.
Advanced Equipment for Seamless Production
Pair your ideal location with top-tier gear from our inventory, including ARRI Alexa Mini LF cameras and Cooke S7/i lenses. Our licensed drone pilots capture sweeping aerial shots of Shanghai’s skyline, while our gaffers design lighting setups tailored to each location’s challenges.
Case Study: High-Profile Commercial Shoot in Jing’an District
For a luxury automotive brand, we secured a rare filming permit for a nighttime shoot on Nanjing Road. Our fixers coordinated with local authorities to minimize disruptions, while our bilingual crew managed a mixed team of international and local talent. The result? A seamless production that met tight deadlines.
Beyond Shanghai: Nationwide Production Support
While Shanghai is our home base, we operate across China, offering location scouting in Beijing’s hutong districts, Shenzhen’s tech hubs, and Chengdu’s rural landscapes. Our regional contacts ensure compliance with local regulations—critical for documentaries or large-scale commercials.
