Case Study: A Seamless Commercial Shoot in Shanghai
Recently, we managed a high-profile commercial shoot for a global automotive brand throughout Shanghai’s iconic locations. Our production management team handled comprehensive pre-production planning including talent casting, detailed location scouting across multiple districts, and securing all necessary municipal permits. During the eight-day shoot, we coordinated between the international creative team and local crew members while managing complex logistics across five different locations. The project culminated in sophisticated post-production work including advanced color correction and multilingual versioning, delivering a stunning final product two days ahead of schedule while remaining 15% under the allocated budget. This successful engagement demonstrates our capability to manage technically complex shoots with both precision and creative flexibility.
