Shanghai presents diverse filming opportunities, from historic architecture to modern skylines. Our team maintains an extensive database of filming locations that accommodate various budget requirements. We’ve established relationships with property managers and local authorities, facilitating access to unique venues that might otherwise be unavailable to foreign production teams. This local knowledge extends to understanding seasonal considerations, traffic patterns, and optimal filming times throughout the city. We can advise on everything from the best periods to capture the Bund’s skyline to navigating the logistical challenges of shooting in crowded commercial districts.

We maintain partnerships with leading equipment suppliers, giving us access to specialized gear like motion control rigs, underwater housings, and high-speed cameras when project demands require them.
Client Collaboration Process
We prioritize clear communication throughout the production process, beginning with detailed pre-production consultations. Our team asks targeted questions to understand project objectives, intended audience, distribution platforms, and creative vision. This collaborative approach ensures alignment between client expectations and practical execution possibilities. We provide transparent budgeting and timeline projections, maintaining open communication channels throughout the project lifecycle. Regular progress updates and review sessions ensure clients remain informed and can provide feedback at every stage, from initial storyboarding through rough cuts to final color grading and sound mixing.
