Video Production in Shanghai
China's commercial capital is where most of our multinational clients actually sit. We keep a resident crew in Shanghai so their shoots don't carry Beijing travel costs.
Shanghai generates more corporate video demand than any other city we cover. It is the regional headquarters city for hundreds of multinationals, the center of China's finance and luxury industries, and home to the exhibition calendar that matters most to international companies — CIIE, Auto Shanghai and the trade shows that rotate through the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) and SNIEC.
The typical Shanghai brief looks different from Beijing's: executive interviews and town-hall filming at MNC regional HQs in Jing'an and Lujiazui, booth videos and executive walk-throughs at CIIE, launch films for automotive and luxury brands, and office or facility films for companies whose global teams have never visited their China operation.
We maintain a resident camera crew in Shanghai, backed by our Beijing production office for scheduling, English contracts and invoicing. For larger productions we bring senior crew and specialty gear down by high-speed rail — about four and a half hours door to door — which keeps even multi-camera shoots cost-efficient.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have a crew based in Shanghai, or do you travel from Beijing?+
Both. A resident Shanghai crew handles standard corporate and interview shoots with no travel costs; for larger productions we add senior crew and gear from Beijing, typically arriving by high-speed rail the day before.
Can you film our booth and executives at CIIE?+
Yes — CIIE at the NECC is a fixture of our calendar. We handle exhibitor media accreditation requirements, shoot booth and product coverage, and can turn around a highlight edit the same day for your global comms team.
Can you shoot a corporate video at our Shanghai office for our global headquarters?+
Yes, this is one of our most common Shanghai briefs. Your HQ team briefs us in English, joins remotely if they wish, and receives footage or a finished edit without anyone flying in.
How far in advance should we book for a Shanghai trade show?+
For major shows like CIIE or Auto Shanghai, two to four weeks lets us secure the right crew and handle venue media requirements. Outside show season, a few days is usually enough.
