LOCATION SCOUTING · SCOUTING IN JAPAN
1000+ Locations · Four Types of Scouting Resources
Location scouting is not "finding a place to shoot" but binding the story, the city, and the people to specific settings. We integrate commercial / nature / culture / special four resource libraries.
Every street, every building, every shop is a slice of the visual symbol that is "Japan", delivered by local production managers with first-hand site surveys + visual matching.
LOCATION A
Commercial Spaces
Office buildings, shopping malls, brand stores, co-working spaces, art spaces, restaurants, hotel lobbies.
LOCATION B
Natural Landscapes
Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, coastlines, snowscapes, hot springs, hiking trails — four-seasons themed locations.
LOCATION C
Cultural Heritage
Kyoto machiya townhouses, temples and shrines, traditional craft streets, long-established shops, samurai residences, and historic buildings.
LOCATION D
Special-Permit Venues
Airports and ports, railways, Shinkansen, highway service areas, hospitals and schools, corporate factories — venues requiring special approval.

MULTILINGUAL · MULTILINGUAL INTERPRETING
Simultaneous & Consecutive: JP / EN / ZH / KO / FR / DE
The language barrier in cross-border productions is real. We provide certified simultaneous and consecutive interpreters covering Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, French, and German in multiple combinations.
It's not just about "translating accurately" — it's about translating correctly and gracefully. Localizing Japanese business etiquette, corporate culture, and industry terminology is where international clients most often trip up.
CREW & EQUIPMENT · TEAM & EQUIPMENT
Local & International Production Teams
Based on project budget and style needs, we configure local and international teams across director / cinematography / lighting / art direction / styling / post-production.
The equipment library covers cinematic camera systems including ARRI / RED / Sony VENICE / Blackmagic, lighting packages, dollies and stabilizers, drone aerial cinematography, and underwater shooting solutions.
POST & LOCALIZATION · POST-PRODUCTION & LOCALIZATION
Editing · Color · Multilingual Subtitles · AIGC
Our post-production team provides the full suite of editing, color grading, VFX, animation, dubbing, and multilingual subtitles, delivering multiple versions (landscape / portrait / short / long / trailer).
Combined with AIGC visual generation, we can stylistically extend live-action footage, replace virtual scenes, and sync multilingual lip movements — adapting the same material for multiple country markets.
