Production at a Glance

Where we shoot

Futian CBD around the Ping An Finance Centre, creative hubs like OCT Loft, waterfronts including Shenzhen Bay Park, urban villages such as Nantou Ancient City, and coastal heritage like Dapeng Fortress.

Permits & access

Public spaces, waterfronts, malls and heritage sites usually require approvals. We handle submissions and schedules with location scouting & permits, and manage venue agreements and security as needed.

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 Shenzhen

OCT Loft (Nanshan)

Repurposed factory complex turned creative district with galleries, cafés and street art—great for lifestyle and interviews. We arrange venue agreements and local gear for controlled setups.

Shenzhen Bay Park (Nanshan & Futian)

13‑km waterfront park with skyline views and bike paths—ideal for b‑roll and scenic opens. Public‑space filming generally needs park approvals and plan for light wind/spray.

Ping An Finance Centre & Futian CBD

Glass‑and‑steel cityscapes with elevated vantage points and plazas. We schedule run‑of‑show, manage building/management approvals, and coordinate security for crowd areas.

Nantou Ancient City

Historic walled quarter with alleys, ancestral halls and courtyards. Permits and venue permissions are required; our Shenzhen fixer team handles access and timing.

Dapeng Fortress & Coast

Ming‑era coastal fortress and peninsula beaches for heritage and seascape visuals. We coordinate heritage permits and beach logistics.

Shekou Sea World & Portside

Lively plazas and waterfront ambience for brand and travel beats. Venue approvals and night‑shoot power plans arranged via coordination.

Day‑trip options include Dameisha / Xiaomeisha beaches and Dapeng Peninsula nature trails. Ask our China fixer team for scouting.

Aerial & Compliance

Drones

We book licensed UAV teams, file flights, and assess airspace restrictions. Standard limits apply without special CAAC clearance (~120 m AGL). We also plan safe lift‑off zones and public guidance.

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.

Seasonality & Scheduling

Weather window

Humid‑subtropical with hot, rainy summers and occasional typhoons; comfortable windows often fall in late autumn and early spring. We build contingency plans for wind and rain.

Lighting & look

Expect high humidity and frequent cloud cover—great for soft light but plan neg fill and waterproofing for monsoon months. Night scenes benefit from the neon skyline and reflective wet surfaces.

Access & Logistics

Airport

Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport (SZX) sits roughly 30–33 km from the city center. We coordinate airport pick‑ups, carnet handling, and courier runs.

Crew base

We staff bilingual producers, fixers and department leads in Shenzhen, with fast reinforcement from Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. Drivers, vans, and production office kits available.
