Case Study: Seamless Commercial Shoot in The Bund
For a recent luxury brand campaign, we coordinated a 2-day shoot at The Bund, managing permits, multilingual talent casting, and 4K cinematography with Arri Alexa kits. The project wrapped on time, with post-production delivered in 10 days. Our team secured early morning filming permissions to capture the iconic skyline during golden hour, arranged for traffic control during key shots, and provided climate-controlled monitoring stations for delicate equipment. The final deliverable included versions tailored for both Western and Chinese markets, with subtle cultural adjustments that respected local sensitivities while maintaining the brand’s global identity.
