History of Shoot in China
The foundation of our Guangzhou documentary camera crew lies in the successful partnership between Clark Wang and Matt Clarke, who together bring more than 15 years of combined experience in the Chinese media landscape. Since our establishment in 2012, our boutique production house has grown significantly, completing over 1,600 diverse projects across multiple Chinese cities. This extensive portfolio includes everything from high-end commercials and feature films to in-depth documentary series. Our Shanghai headquarters serves as the central hub for coordinating productions throughout China, including our specialized operations in Guangzhou and the broader Guangdong province.
Professional Documentary Production Services
Our professional filmmaking team offers comprehensive services specifically designed for documentary production requirements. We understand that documentary filmmaking demands a different approach than commercial work, requiring sensitivity to subject matter, cultural context, and authentic storytelling. Our bilingual production teams include experienced directors, cinematographers, sound technicians, and production assistants who work seamlessly together to capture genuine moments and compelling narratives. We prioritize building trust with documentary subjects and creating an environment where authentic stories can emerge naturally.
Comprehensive Production Support
Beyond the core camera crew, we provide extensive support services that ensure smooth production operations. Our location scouts have intimate knowledge of Guangzhou and surrounding areas, identifying both iconic and hidden locations that enhance your documentary’s visual appeal. Our fixers handle all necessary permits, local regulations, and cultural considerations, allowing you to focus on creative storytelling. We maintain relationships with local communities and authorities, which proves invaluable when filming in sensitive or restricted areas. Our logistics coordinators manage transportation, accommodation, and scheduling, creating an efficient production workflow.
Advanced Equipment and Technical Expertise
Our technical capabilities include access to professional-grade equipment from leading manufacturers like Canon, Sony, and Arri. We carefully select gear based on each project’s specific requirements, whether we need compact setups for intimate interviews or robust systems for challenging environmental conditions. Our licensed drone operators capture breathtaking aerial perspectives that add visual depth to documentary narratives. We maintain all equipment to the highest standards, ensuring reliability during critical filming moments. Our technical team stays current with evolving industry standards and emerging technologies.
Post-Production Excellence
Following production, our post-production team delivers comprehensive editing services in both English and Mandarin. We specialize in documentary storytelling techniques that maintain narrative flow while preserving authenticity. Our editors work closely with directors to shape raw footage into compelling stories that resonate with international audiences. Additional services include professional color grading, sound design, animation, motion graphics, and cultural localization. We understand that documentary post-production requires careful balancing of creative vision with factual accuracy, and our team excels at maintaining this balance throughout the editing process.
Expanded Service Coverage
While our Guangzhou operations form a significant part of our service offering, we maintain production capabilities across major Chinese cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hong Kong. This extensive network allows us to handle multi-city documentary projects with consistent quality and coordination. Each location benefits from our established relationships with local crews, facilities, and authorities. Our regional producers understand the unique characteristics of each city and can advise on the best approaches for filming in different Chinese environments.
Additional Production Services
Beyond our core documentary services, we offer complementary production support including professional photography for behind-the-scenes content, promotional materials, and stills photography. Our corporate video production services cater to businesses needing professional communication tools, while our commercial production team handles advertising and marketing content. We maintain flexibility to adapt our services to each project’s unique requirements, whether you need a small crew for intimate documentaries or larger teams for complex multi-camera productions.
