Case Study: International Brand Commercial
Recently, we supported a global automotive brand with a high-end commercial shoot in Shanghai. Our team provided ARRI cameras, specialized lighting, and drone footage, ensuring cinematic quality while staying on schedule and budget. The production required complex night shooting on the Bund, multiple location changes throughout the city, and coordination with local traffic authorities. Our bilingual production coordinators managed all permits and logistics, while our technical team ensured equipment performed flawlessly despite challenging weather conditions. The final commercial achieved the client’s vision of showcasing Shanghai’s modern skyline while highlighting the vehicle’s premium features.
