We understand that successful filming in China requires more than just technical expertise—it demands cultural sensitivity and local knowledge. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of your production receives the attention it deserves, from securing necessary permits to coordinating with local authorities. We work closely with clients to understand their creative vision and translate it into actionable production plans that leverage Xi’An’s unique advantages as a filming location.
Expert Production Crews and Resources
Our professional filming teams bring together the best of local expertise and international standards. We provide bilingual production crews who work seamlessly between Mandarin and English, ensuring clear communication throughout your project. Our directors, cinematographers, and fixers are not only technically skilled but also deeply familiar with local customs, regulations, and cultural nuances. This dual expertise allows us to navigate the complexities of filming in China while maintaining the creative integrity of your project. Our crews have extensive experience working with international production companies and understand the specific requirements of foreign filmmakers operating in China.
Strategic Location Access
Through our government-approved partnerships, we provide exclusive access to some of Xi’An’s most remarkable filming locations. From the ancient Ming City Walls that encircle the historic center to the vibrant Muslim Quarter with its bustling markets and traditional architecture, we can secure permissions for sites that are typically challenging for foreign productions to access. Our location mastery extends beyond the city center to include rural Shaanxi landscapes, traditional villages, and natural settings that showcase the region’s diverse beauty. We maintain strong relationships with local authorities and community leaders, ensuring smooth operations and respectful engagement with each location we use.
Advanced Technical Capabilities
Our technical resources include state-of-the-art equipment and specialized filming techniques tailored to Xi’An’s unique environment. We offer aerial filming services with licensed drone pilots using RED Komodo cameras to capture sweeping shots of the Qinling Mountains and urban panoramas. Our equipment rentals include Arri and Sony systems stocked locally in Xi’An, reducing transportation costs and logistical challenges. For historical productions, we coordinate period-accurate costumes, props, and Tang Dynasty-era set designs, working with local artisans and historical experts to ensure authenticity. Our 4K editing suites feature color grading specifically optimized for heritage sites, preserving the unique lighting and texture of Xi’An’s ancient architecture.
Production Support Services
Beyond core filming activities, we provide comprehensive support services that streamline your entire production process. Our multilingual casting services connect you with Mandarin-speaking talent who can bring authenticity to your projects. We handle all aspects of production logistics, including accommodation, transportation, and catering for your crew. Our local fixers manage relationships with authorities and communities, ensuring compliance with regulations while maintaining positive working relationships. We also provide post-production services including editing, sound design, and color correction, all handled by professionals who understand the specific requirements of content filmed in historical Chinese locations.

While specializing in Xi’An filming services, our Shanghai-based team supports nationwide projects across China. This expanded capability allows us to coordinate multi-location shoots that might include commercial production in Shenzhen’s tech hubs, documentary work in Inner Mongolia’s vast landscapes, or live-streaming setups across Chongqing’s urban environments. Our national network means we can provide consistent quality and service standards regardless of where in China your production takes place. This comprehensive approach makes us an ideal partner for projects that require filming in multiple Chinese locations while maintaining a single point of contact and consistent production values throughout.
