Fixing And Production Support Services
Film production is a multi-stage process that requires the efforts of a variety of different departments. How does a film fixer fit into this process? The answer is simple. Everywhere. This is particularly applicable in a foreign country. Fixers are highly useful in any destination where local connections are necessary for production success. This is doubly so when dealing with a native population that may not be fluent in English. Also, it helps to have a fixer on hand when dealing with civic authorities who may be less amenable to hosting foreign film crews. Fixers preempt difficulties and solve problems wherever necessary. They are truly indispensable for any visiting production to Indonesia or other Asia Pacific nations.
Location Fixing And Management
Location choices will be one of the most important decisions a producer or director can make. This is because locations play a key role both in front of and behind the camera. Locations effect logistics as well as storytelling aspects of production. Sometimes, producers decide to seek a secluded location for filming, a magnificent site that hasn’t yet been used by any other production. In this case, a film fixer can assist with scouting, permitting, and management. Film fixers can also support with logistics such as equipment delivery and crew transport. More urban locations in a centralized city such as Jakarta might prove easier to access, though other obstacles can arise that are unrelated to logistics.
For instance, perhaps a property owner or manager is absent and will be difficult to track down. Film fixers in Indonesia such as those working with Wind Up are able to do the necessary work to help foreign productions open up the locations they need. Furthermore, once principal photography commences, fixers continually liaison with property managers and owners to ensure good relations and ultimate production success.
Permits Fixing Services
Once locations are decided upon and property owners or managers express willingness to rent out their sites, there’s still the matter of official permissions. Obtaining the proper permits, licenses, and associated paperwork is a necessity. Doing so prevents authorities from delaying production, ensuring that there is no waste of resources and unforeseen budgetary spikes. Indonesia film fixer professionals call upon their expansive list of local contacts as they work hard to greenlight the project. With a film fixer in your corner, you can rest assured that there are no shortcuts taken and that all the focus can be put on the creative process, rather than bureaucratic concerns.
Crew And Equipment Fixer Services
When producing a feature, TVC, series, or documentary in a foreign locale, it’s going to be necessary to hire locally. This can be for either key positions such as a DOP or director, or for support roles such as gaffers and props crew. Film fixers are tuned in to the local industry and will know all the best professionals as well as their availability. Fixers can call upon this roster of contacts at any time, helping with the hiring process as well as negotiation of pay. Film fixers can help ensure that you hire an English speaking crew that is trained up to the highest standards in the business. Additionally, an Indonesia film fixer will know all the best rental houses with the latest camera and sound gear.
