Comprehensive Production Support Services
Our location management team delivers end-to-end solutions for productions of all scales. The location scouting service includes pre-vetted sites with detailed information about accessibility, lighting conditions, and seasonal considerations, combined with comprehensive permit assistance and guidance on local regulations. Our bilingual production crews feature Mandarin/English-speaking directors, cinematographers, and production assistants who understand both Western and Chinese production standards. The logistical support encompasses equipment transport coordination, accommodation bookings tailored to production schedules, and location-specific safety plans that address the unique challenges of filming in mountainous terrain and culturally sensitive areas.
The cultural coordination service ensures respectful engagement with local communities while facilitating authentic storytelling. We provide translation services for scripts and production materials, arrange cultural briefings for international crew members, and mediate between production teams and local authorities to ensure smooth operations. Our location managers maintain relationships with property owners, community leaders, and government officials to secure optimal filming conditions and resolve potential issues before they impact production schedules.
Advantages of Professional Location Management
Partnering with experienced location professionals in Guiyang provides significant benefits beyond basic logistical support. Our twelve years of regional expertise enables access to rare filming permits for protected natural areas and historical sites that are typically challenging for foreign productions to secure. We’ve established strong relationships with local vendors and service providers, allowing us to reduce production costs while maintaining high quality standards. The comprehensive understanding of China’s media regulations and censorship requirements ensures that all productions remain compliant throughout the filming process, avoiding potential delays or content issues during post-production.
The extensive local knowledge our team possesses includes understanding seasonal weather patterns, cultural events that might affect filming schedules, and hidden locations that aren’t widely known to international productions. We maintain updated databases of available studio spaces, equipment rental options, and local crew members with verified experience and skills. This infrastructure support extends to arranging specialized services such as drone operations in restricted airspace, underwater filming in local reservoirs and rivers, and coordination with local law enforcement for crowd control and traffic management during street filming.

While specializing in Guiyang film production support, our services extend throughout China with established operations in multiple key filming locations. In Shanghai, we provide access to urban landscapes ranging from colonial-era architecture along the Bund to ultra-modern skyscrapers in Pudong, complemented by state-of-the-art studio facilities.
