Equipment Planning Services

Here is how this works in practice. Our gear planners assemble Australian gear packages across the country's primary rental ecosystem. Sydney houses serving Disney Studios Australia (Matrix, Star Wars Episodes II and III, Mission Impossible 2, Moulin Rouge!, Wolverine, Hacksaw Ridge, Elvis), Gold Coast vendors stocking Village Roadshow Studios (Mad Max Fury Road, Aquaman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Thor Ragnarok, Furiosa), Melbourne houses servicing Docklands Studios and the VicScreen production base, Adelaide vendors supporting SAFC projects out of Adelaide Studios, and Perth ScreenWest pros handling outback and Western Australian shoots.

Here is the short of it. Camera packages span ARRI Alexa 35, Mini LF, Sony Venice 2, RED Komodo and V-Raptor, Phantom Flex high-speed, Phase One IQ4 for stills, plus full lens stocks of Cooke S7/i, Zeiss Supreme Prime, Panavision Primo and Sphero, Angénieux Optimo, Leica Summilux-C, and Tribe7 Blackwing7 — set up against MEAA-rate camera and grip departments and ACS-tier DPs across each unit.

Here is the breakdown. Australian gear logistics route through ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) for licensed wireless audio, follow-focus, and timecode RF range allocation, CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) for drone operator certification (ReOC + RePL) and remote-operation airspace approvals, Airservices Australia for any controlled-airspace planning near Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or military zones, plus Australian Border Force for ATA carnet inbound clearance on US, UK, and European production gear arriving via Qantas, Singapore Airlines, or Cathay Pacific freight.

Producer Offset 30 percent, Location Offset 30 percent, and PDV Offset 30 percent QAPE eligibility need ATO-compliant rental invoicing with 10 percent GST captured.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Outback and remote unit planning has diesel power packs capacity, satellite uplink backup, water-resistant case provisioning for Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef shoots, cyclone-rated transit for tropical-north wet season November to April, bushfire-evacuation kit December to March, plus Aboriginal Land Council and AIATSIS protocol-compliant scouting gear when units cross onto Country.
