SCENE 01 / POWER SOLUTIONS
Power Solutions
Professional production power for your Japanese production.
Power for film work spans portable packs, battery systems, solar rigs, and hybrid setups. These options deliver steady power in any location. The right choice depends on your load needs, noise limits, the site itself, and what each shooting spot allows.
We study your power needs and source the right kit from local providers. That might mean quiet packs for dialogue scenes, high-capacity units for big lighting setups, or battery systems for remote spots. Our team handles delivery, fuelling, and tech support across your shoot.

Production Power Solutions Across Japan
Shoots in Japan need a power plan that fits the day. Quiet power packs suit dialogue scenes inside Kyoto temples. High-capacity tow-plants handle HMI-heavy nights in Shinjuku. Battery and solar hybrids work best for remote Hokkaido or Okinawa exteriors.
We source 20kW portable units through 500kW tow-behind power packs. Our team also stocks 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 kit to your lighting plan, sound needs, and venue limits.
We handle the logistics 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 electricians and venue staff.
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 pack 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.
The power plan follows the production type. A Netflix Japan feature with a big lighting rig wants high-capacity tow-plants and deep distribution. A TBS studio drama often runs on a building tie-in arranged with venue staff. A doc crew roaming Hokkaido leans on V-mount and Gold mount blocks from Anton Bauer and IDX, with charging stations for the day. We weigh load, noise, and site limits with your gaffer, then carry only the units each scene truly demands.
Cost and delivery stay transparent. We deliver power packages to sets across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, with regional runs and fuel planning for remote exteriors. Our English-and-Japanese coordinators keep visiting crews briefed at each step. Generator hire, battery packages, and electricians are quoted in JPY, with the 10 percent consumption tax shown as its own line, so the power budget reads clearly from the first estimate to wrap.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What size generators do you provide?
We supply power packs from small 20kW portable units up to large 500kW tow-behind packs. Most narrative shoots use packs in the 60-150kW range, set by their lighting needs. Our team can size the right unit for your shoot.
Are your generators suitable for film sets?
Yes, we supply super-silent power packs built for film work. These units are baffled and housed to cut noise, so they can sit closer to set without spoiling your sound recording.
Can you coordinate tie-ins?
Yes, we can set up building tie-ins where they are allowed and a good fit. Tie-ins often cost less for studio work or sites with enough electrical setup. Our team handles all the 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 add-ons. We also supply block batteries for larger gear and full charging setups for multi-camera shoots.
Do you provide electricians?
Yes, we work with skilled Japanese electricians who know film production well. A local electrical crew keeps you in line with Japanese rules and makes power distribution safe and smooth.
What about remote locations?
We can power shoots in remote spots across Japan. Our team arranges power pack delivery, fuel supply, and tech support for sites with no easy grid access.
