Production service & video production services in Mali

If you’re planning a Bamako video production, our production service ensures that you have the crew and support that you need for final success. We know our capital city inside out and can handle all location scouting and other pre-production requirements to make sure everything is in place and ready for you when you arrive for the shoot. That said, you don’t even need to be on-site to make a great video in Mali. We offer remote video production services. This means we’ll work remotely with you planning your production to the last detail, and then we’ll film, edit, and send it to you in an agreed-upon format.

Film crew for hire & local contributors

For your Mali video production, having experienced local talent will make all the difference. As your production fixer, we’ll connect you with skilled crew members and on-the-ground contributors to ensure you have the production service and support necessary to make the very best video here in Mali.

Research & fact-checking

For your Mali video production, our production fixer team will ensure you get all the background information you need. We’ll provide fact-checked information and genuine cultural insights as requested, along with a list of confirmed potential interviewees if you’re making a news report video or documentary.

Film permits & local access

Certain areas in Mali are sensitive due to conflicts, making filming there inadvisable or legally off-limits. As your local production company, we’ll guide you to the safest, most stunning locations. We’ll also handle your film permits and paperwork, ensuring everything is ready for your Bamako video production or film shoot elsewhere.

Location scouting & management

From Timbuktu’s historic architecture to the extraordinary rolling sand dunes of deserts, whatever background you need for your Mali video production, rely on our location scouting expertise to find it for you. Plus, once we have the necessary locations selected, we’ll handle organizing permits, access, and complete site management throughout the shoot.

Film equipment rental

As part of our production service, we’ll ensure you have access to basic film equipment. Once you give us your equipment list, we can let you know what’s available. However, for a more complex or large-scale Mali video production, it may be advisable to bring your own high-end equipment as necessary.

Logistics handling

Logistics are very important to ensure a safe, efficient, and successful Mali video production. With us as your partner, you can expect your transport, quality accommodation, and all on-site coordination for crew and other film personnel to be managed effectively. We can also handle remote video production shoots if you need additional footage.
