FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A few of the questions that tend to come up early when people are planning a shoot in Beijing.
If you don’t see your question here, feel free to get in touch. We’re always happy to talk things through.
How far in advance should I book a crew in Beijing?
A few working days is usually enough for simple bookings. Bigger or equipment-heavy jobs are better planned a little earlier.
Can you work with visiting producers and agencies?
Yes. We work with visiting producers and agency teams all the time.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We can help with permit-aware planning and location advice.
Can you quote gear-only versus crew-plus-gear support?
Yes. We can quote gear-only, crew-only, or a combined package.
Can you work with a visiting producer and a partial overseas crew?
Yes. That is a very common setup. We can fill the local roles and keep the handoffs smooth.
What changes when the shoot moves between Chaoyang and Dongcheng?
The route, loading window, and call order usually change, so we plan a little more time around the move.
What kinds of shoots do you usually support?
Commercial, corporate, branded, documentary, industrial, and editorial shoots are all common here.
What do you need from us to get started?
Anything from a finished brief to a rough outline is fine. Dates, location ideas, crew needs, or even just the general format are usually enough to start the conversation.
