SCENE 01 / POWER SOLUTIONS
Power Solutions
Professional production power for your Japanese production.
Here is how this works in practice. Power solutions for film production cover portable power packs, battery systems, solar rigs, and hybrid setups that deliver reliable electricity in any location. Choosing the right power way depends on load needs, noise restrictions, site-level considerations, and the logistical constraints of each shooting environment.
Here is the short of it. We check your production's power needs and source appropriate solutions from local providers, whether that means quiet power packs for dialogue scenes, high-capacity units for large lighting setups, or battery systems for remote locations. Our team manages delivery, fueling, and tech support across your shoot.

Production Power Solutions Across Japan
Shoots in Japan need a power plan that fits the day. Think quiet power packs for dialogue scenes inside Kyoto temples. Think high-capacity tow-plants for HMI-heavy nights in Shinjuku. Think battery and solar hybrids for remote Hokkaido or Okinawa exteriors.
Here is how this works in practice. We source 20kW portable units through 500kW tow-behind power packs. We also stock V-mount and Gold mount blocks from Anton Bauer and IDX. Full charging stations come from Hibino, Tac System, and Nagase Brothers. We match the right fit to your lighting plan, sound needs, and venue limits.
Here is the short of it. Logistics are handled from start to finish. Tokyo street permits and tight Shibuya backlots favour compact silent units. Hokkaido sub-zero days call for cold-start fuel care. Okinawa salt air punishes unsealed casings. Historic Yokohama and Fukuoka venues need tie-ins set up with licensed Japanese sparks and venue staff.
Here is the breakdown. Our team works out the loads, plans fuel for multi-day remotes, tracks runtime on set, and keeps backup units staged. From a single 60kW power packs on an Osaka commercial to a multi-genset feature across the Japan Alps, we deliver power that is clean, quiet, fuelled, and steady for each department.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What size generators do you provide?
We supply power packs from small 20kW portable units to large 500kW tow-behind power packs. Most narrative shoots use power packs in the 60-150kW range, based on lighting needs. We can calculate the right size for your needs.
Are your generators suitable for film sets?
Yes, we give super-silent power packs designed for film production. These units are baffled and housed to cut noise, allowing them to be positioned closer to set without interfering with sound recording.
Can you coordinate tie-ins?
Yes, we can set up building tie-ins where appropriate and permitted. Tie-ins can be more economical for studio work or locations with enough electrical infrastructure. Our team handles all planning with building management.
What battery systems do you offer?
We stock V-mount and Gold mount batteries from Anton Bauer, IDX, and others for cinema cameras and accessories. We also give block batteries for larger gear and complete charging solutions for multi-camera shoots.
Do you provide electricians?
Yes, we work with qualified Japanese electricians skilled in film production. Having local electrical crew makes sure compliance with Japanese rules and efficient, safe power distribution.
What about remote locations?
We can power shoots in remote locations across Japan. This has setting up power packs delivery, fuel supply, and tech support for locations without convenient grid access.
