Shanghai, China’s dazzling economic hub and cultural melting pot, has become one of Asia’s premier destinations for international video productions. From cinematic skylines to ancient alleyways, the city offers a rich variety of locations perfect for everything from brand films and documentaries to commercials and corporate videos.
But navigating the complexities of filming in Shanghai requires more than just creative vision — it demands local expertise, logistical know-how, and a reliable support team on the ground. That’s where we come in.
Full-Service Video Production Support in Shanghai
With over a decade of experience supporting international crews in China, our team at Pixel Productions provides end-to-end video production services tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re a global media house, a creative agency, or a corporate brand, we act as your local production partner in Shanghai — so you can focus on the creative while we handle the rest.
Here’s how we make your shoot in Shanghai smooth and successful:
Production Planning & Permits
Securing the proper film permits in China can be complex. Our team streamlines this process by working directly with local authorities to ensure all necessary documentation is in place — whether you’re shooting in the heart of the Bund, inside a historical Shikumen, or in a modern factory.
Experienced Local Crew & Equipment Rental
From award-winning directors of photography to skilled camera assistants, gaffers, sound recordists, and drone operators — we provide multilingual, experienced crew members who are used to working with international standards. Need specific equipment? We offer professional-grade camera, lighting, and grip rentals from trusted suppliers in Shanghai.
Location Scouting & Management
Shanghai’s diverse architectural landscape offers nearly endless visual possibilities. We provide detailed location scouting, manage local access, and coordinate logistics to keep your schedule on track. Whether it’s an upscale café, an industrial site, or a traditional Chinese garden, we’ll find the right backdrop for your story.
Visa & Customs Assistance
For overseas clients and crews, we offer visa support and customs clearance for gear. Our production coordinators assist with invitation letters, document translations, and on-the-ground solutions to ensure a smooth entry into China.
Fixer Services & Cultural Mediation
A knowledgeable fixer can be the difference between a frustrating shoot and a flawless one. Our local fixers act as cultural bridges, translating not just language, but local expectations, business etiquette, and on-the-fly challenges. From interviews to street shoots, we’ve got your back.

We’ve proudly supported productions for leading global clients including Discovery, CNN, Financial Times, ExxonMobil, Nike, Audi, UNESCO, and many more. Whether it’s a branded documentary, a corporate interview, or a social media campaign, we understand the demands of international standards — and deliver accordingly.
