Chengdu Camera Crew

Bilingual producers, vetted local crew, and fully kitted camera/lighting/grip for Chengdu. We secure Chengdu filming permits, coordinate logistics through our production coordination team, and tie your shoot into our China video fixer hub and the Chengdu fixer team so every day stays on schedule.

Production at a Glance

Where we shoot

Historic streets like Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli; modern districts such as Taikoo Li and Tianfu New Area; industrial‑chic Dongjiao Memory; and nature hubs around Chengdu like Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan.

Permits & access

Public and heritage areas usually require approvals. We manage location requests, schedules, and security with location scouting & permits in China, and coordinate venue agreements for places like Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli.

Gear & crew

Local DoPs, ACs, sound, G&E, PA, DIT; camera packages, lighting, grip, wireless, and mobility—prepped, delivered, and tech‑checked. See equipment rental in China and production coordination.

Filming Locations in Chengdu

Kuanzhai Alley (Wide & Narrow Alleys)

Qing‑dynasty alleys with refurbished courtyards, teahouses, and lantern‑lit lanes—ideal for cultural b‑roll and walk‑and‑talks. Best weekdays early AM or late evening. Permit applications and on‑site coordination help with crowd and vendor management.

Jinli Ancient Street & Wuhou Temple

Pedestrian street with late‑Qing facades beside Wuhou Shrine. Rich textures and night market ambience. Expect venue approvals and plan lighting with local equipment rental.

Dongjiao Memory (Eastern Suburb Memory)

Converted factory halls, stages and cultural venues—great for interviews, fashion and brand set‑ups. We arrange location agreements and power tie‑ins; casting available via actor & model casting.

Anshun Bridge & Hejiang Pavilion

Iconic illuminated bridge on the Jin River; skyline reflections at blue hour. Plan parking, safety officers and a production run‑of‑show for smooth riverfront setups.

Chunxi Road & Taikoo Li

Modern glass/retail architecture ideal for brand visuals and street interviews. We handle mall/management approvals and supply camera/lighting packages.

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

Special permissions and strict wildlife rules apply. We liaise with site management and arrange crew scheduling and access windows.

Day‑trip visuals: Mount Qingcheng, Dujiangyan, and Leshan Giant Buddha (permits vary by site—ask our China fixer team).

Aerial & Compliance

Drones

We book licensed UAV teams, file flights, and assess airspace restrictions. Standard limits apply without special CAAC clearance; we also plan safe lift‑off/landing zones and public guidance as needed.

Visas, Carnets & Insurance

We advise on media/film visas and ATA Carnet for temporary gear import, and provide Chinese‑language support letters. For fast turnarounds, consider local kit rental with tech checks.

Access & Logistics

Airports

Chengdu is served by Shuangliu (CTU) and Tianfu (TFU). We schedule airport pick‑ups, carnet handling, and courier runs. Your producer aligns transport with the production schedule.

Crew base

Our Chengdu fixer team staffs bilingual producers, fixers, and dept. leads, with fast reinforcement from Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing. Drivers, vans and office kits available.
