“O Canada”

We just came back from a successful corporate video shoot in Ontario Canada.

Our clients do not always realize that we usually drive our company van to most of our shoots that are 500 miles or less from our studios in New Jersey. It may take an hour or two longer than flying (when you include the airport transit time and car rental pickup), but we can bring a larger selection of the gear we usually work with, and we are not subjected to the cost and inconvenience of flying with equipment.

Another upside is that we save our clients’ money.

Of course we do fly for shoots too. We have worked in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and all over the United States. Our gear is configured to fly.

We also have the know-how to get the proper documentation to legally travel with video equipment. Many countries have severe restrictions for the import of professional equipment, and the proper paperwork (and cash bonds) are required to confirm that everything that gets taken to a country returns from the country. As an aside, when shooting in the Middle East it is very common for people to come up to us while we are working and offer to buy our equipment on the spot. With 100% tariffs on this type of equipment, you can understand why this happens so much.

SO we will go anywhere to get the footage you need, but when we can, we still prefer to drive.
