Production service & video production services in Benin

We offer a comprehensive range of production services guaranteed to help any video project big or small get off the ground in Benin. Whether you need assistance for a full Porto-Novo video production or some hand-picked services such as local location scouting or remote video production, we’re the company that can help. Because we tailor our services to suit the specific needs of our clients, we’ve been the go-to team for several international documentaries, corporate videos, feature films, and brand commercials filming here, and are ready and willing to roll up our sleeves for you.

Film crew for hire & local contributors

A key to our success as a production fixer in Benin is the fact that we carefully vet all the film professionals we collaborate with to ensure their skills match our clients’ needs. So, when we put together a team for your project, you can be sure they’ll deliver a top-quality production service for your Benin video production.

Research & fact-checking

For a professional Benin video production, accuracy is vital. Lucky for you, our experienced team of researchers can ensure that every element of your footage is rigorously checked to ensure it stands up culturally and legally. With us as your production fixer, you can breathe a sigh of relief that your video won’t have any factual blunders.

Film permits & local access

Film permits are required for a Porto-Novo video production or if filming is taking place in any state-owned area. They can take a couple of weeks to process, so it’s best to work with a line production company like us that can hurry along the process on your behalf.

Location scouting & management

A long key-shaped country that leads on to the Gulf of Guinea, Benin has a lot of great locations from forested savannah to lagoons and coastal beaches, as well as sprawling cities like the capital Porto-Novo. We’ll assist with location scouting and manage sites throughout your Benin video production to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Film equipment rental

Benin’s film industry is growing, but it can still be challenging to find top-grade filming equipment if you don’t have the contacts. As your production fixer, we have strong relationships with rental companies here and in neighboring Nigeria, and as part of our production service, can find all the necessary gear for your Benin video production.

Logistics handling

Logistical support is one of the prime services we offer any Benin video production. This takes in everything from flights, accommodation, on-site catering, translation, security, and equipment transport. We even offer remote video production support so that you can still get great footage without having to be on location in the country.
