SCENE 01 / CAMERA EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Camera Equipment Rental
Professional cinema cameras, lenses, and support equipment for film and TV production in Brazil.
Here is how this works in practice. Camera gear rental gives shoots with access to high-end cinema cameras, lenses, and accessories without the capital investment of ownership. Rental houses keep and service pro gear, making sure shoots receive calibrated, reliable gear ready for demanding shooting schedules.
Here is the short of it. We help camera gear rentals from vetted local suppliers, negotiating competitive rates and managing delivery logistics. Our team sets up prep days, cross-rentals, and gear returns so your camera department can focus fully on the creative work at hand.

Cinerent + Globo PROJAC floors, Sigma Cine LA cross-border, and the Charlone–Carvalho cinematography lineage
Here is how this works in practice. Camera rental in Brazil flows out of three primary pools. The country's largest house, Cinerent Brasil, runs branches in both Rio and São Paulo with deep stocks of ARRI Alexa 35, Mini LF, and Amira bodies plus Sony VENICE 2 and FX9, RED V-Raptor and Komodo, and Blackmagic URSA + Pocket Cinema lineups. Globo Estúdios PROJAC in Jacarepaguá — the world's largest telenovela studio tricky. This covers and Casablanca Studios São Paulo run massive in-house pools that flex onto outside features and commercials, while Cor & Som, O2 Filmes (Fernando Meirelles), Gullane, Conspiração, and Filmonster Rio service smaller commercial and narrative slates.
Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, Top-tier ALEXA 65, Mini LF with Signature Primes, Phantom Flex 4K from Vision Research, and Panavision DXL2 packages cross-border from Sigma Cine, Panavision LA, and ARRI Rental on the 12-hour direct LA-GRU flight. ATA carnets get filed through Receita Federal with 2–4 week lead time because Brazilian customs are notoriously slow.
Here is the short of it. The country's cinematographic identity was built by Cesar Charlone (City of God, Two Popes), Walter Carvalho (Central Station), Adrian Teijido (Narcos, Tropa de Elite), and Lula Carvalho (Bacurau, RoboCop), and the rental floors are stocked to match the looks those DPs continue to chase. Bacurau's anamorphic Northeast sequences pulled Hawk and Atlas Orion options. I'm Still Here's period Rio drew on ARRI Signature Primes and Cooke S7/i for a softer 70s palette. Today's Netflix series in the Padilha pipeline pair VENICE 2 with Leitz M 0.8 or Cooke S8/i.
Here is what we have to work with. On the ground, we arrive with full prep at the rental house — sensor cleans, lens collimation, format-to-card-reader matching, firmware revisions — and deliver to São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU), Rio Galeão (GIG), Brasília (BSB), or Manaus (MAO) ready for a same-day fitting. Cross-border camera cars, scorpio remote heads, Russian arms, and Phantom super-slow rigs all route through Sigma Cine LA when scope demands.
