Who We Work With

Questions before the shoot.
Three points usually shape the brief early.
Should I book a videographer or a fuller camera crew?
It depends on the number of setups, the client-facing pressure and whether sound, lighting or assistant roles are needed around the operator.
Can one team handle crew, fixer support and equipment?
Yes. Most Shanghai shoots run more cleanly when crew, support and rental planning stay aligned under one local structure.
What should I send first?
Dates, district, venue type, deliverables and any known equipment notes are usually enough to scope the right setup.
Need a Shanghai crew or support package?
Send the dates, district and brief. We will recommend a setup that fits the shoot and the location.
