Successful Production Case Study
A recent documentary project in Lijiang demonstrated the full scope of our media fixer capabilities. The production required filming in multiple sensitive locations within this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including ancient town centers and protected natural areas. Our team secured all necessary permits from local cultural bureaus and tourism authorities while coordinating with traditional Naxi minority performers for authentic cultural representation. We managed complex logistics involving equipment transportation through narrow ancient streets and arranged accommodations for the international crew in this popular tourist destination during peak season. The production completed on schedule and within budget, resulting in a critically acclaimed documentary that beautifully captured Lijiang’s unique cultural and natural heritage.
