On Location

Full-Crew Production Across Brazil

Shooting in Brazil moves you across very different sets. One day it is the dense street life of Avenida Paulista in São Paulo. The next is the open wetlands of the Pantanal. After that it is the old colonial streets of Paraty. Our crews shift between these worlds with ease.

Crews sized to the project, not a template — lean enough for the Pantanal, technical enough for high-end work in São Paulo.

Our teams are built around what each site needs. We sort out permits, plan flights and drives between cities, and ship gear. Each kit lands on site ready to roll. We deploy full tech packages in each major Brazilian city. We do the same for far-flung remote sites.

Our DP Services and Multi-Camera Shoots cover the full range. We staff small doc setups, plus big commercial jobs running many cameras at once. When the shot calls for motion, we have the people for it. Our Steadicam and gimbal ops can track through Rio's Santa Teresa streets or hold steady along the coast.

Our Gaffer and Lighting Team gets briefed in pre-production. They study the power draw on each site. They also check the natural light on the day. We finish the plan well before we arrive on set.

FAQs

Production FAQs

Common questions about our production services, crew availability, and equipment support.

What crew sizes can you provide for productions in Brazil?

Here is how this works in practice. The production team handles projects which range from two-person documentary production to 150-person feature unit operations. The typical range for commercial work shoots has 15 to 30 staff who consist of a DP and camera team and gaffer with two electrics and key grip with a swing and sound mixer and boom op and extra staff from art department and HMU. We've crewed up Netflix series with full Brazilian units and handled single-day corporate interviews with just a shooter and audio. The network scales to fit.

How quickly can you mobilize a crew in Brazil?

Rio de Janeiro-based crew can often mobilize within 24–48 hours for urgent jobs—we've pulled together same-day news crews when stories break. Regional shoots need more runway. Figure 5–7 days minimum for locations outside major cities. The real constraint is mostly gear availability from rental houses, not crew. If you're planning ahead, 2–3 weeks gives us time to assemble the right team rather than just the ready one.

Do your crews speak English?

The department heads who have DPs and gaffers and sound mixers and 1st ADs possess English fluency and have worked on shoots outside their home country. That's a baseline need for our network. Grips, electrics, and PAs differ, but we always make sure someone on each team can translate. For fully Brazilian-speaking shoots, we have native crews across each department.

Can you provide equipment along with crew?

We work with TSF, Panavision Rio de Janeiro, RVZ, and other Brazilian rental houses daily. The majority of gear packages have crew members who stay with their assigned positions because the gaffer operates from their preferred lighting location. The DP selects the camera gear. Our firm takes care of customs procedures and carnet records for global shoots which choose to bring their own gear. The delivery of gear brings tested and prepared gear to the site. We start our work.'t send gear to set without a checkout.

How do Brazilian crew rates compare to other countries?

Here is the short of it. Brazilian rates are competitive compared to North America and Europe. Social charges (encargos) add about 70% on top of gross wages—we have these in all-in quotes so there are no surprises. For longer shoots, Ancine incentives can offset qualifying Brazilian spend.
