Remote Production services in Osaka, JAPAN

In today’s worldwide crisis caused by covid-19, it is getting harder and harder for foreign productions to visit Japan for their projects. No one knows until when this chaos continues. A demand for arranging local crew instead of dispatch is rapidly increasing.     

DFS has worked as such local crew for the foreign productions. This function won’t be changed from then on. Now, looking at a current stream surrounding the pandemic, what we need to offer for our customer is remote production services.  

In this case, the remote production stands for that you can accomplish your project without visiting Japan in person. DFS accepts technical crew, while the production brains like directors, producers, or/and even DOPs can direct/supervise/monitor actual productions in real time through the Internet using PC/Mac with videotelephony application like Zoom or Google Meet. We already have experienced this remote productions and established workflow: You can monitor not only studio shootings but also location shootings.
