SCENE 01 / EQUIPMENT PLANNING
Equipment Planning Services
Professional production equipment coordination and sourcing in Spain.
Here is how this works in practice. Gear planning sets the cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, grip, and support gear a production needs based on its creative needs and shooting conditions. In Spain, Spanish rental houses like EPC Barcelona and Madrid-based gear suppliers give full inventories. But thorough planning makes sure departments have the right tools, prevents costly last-minute rentals, and optimizes budget allocation.
Here is the short of it. We help with gear planning by giving local market knowledge of ready rental inventory and vendor skills across Spain. Our team works with your department heads to compile full gear lists, source competitive quotes from Spanish rental houses like EPC Barcelona and Madrid-based gear suppliers, and set up delivery schedules that align with your production timeline.

On Location
ARRI Alexa 35, Sony Venice 2 and RED V-Raptor packages via Camara Movil Madrid, Vantage Spain, Welab Plus, Servicios Audiovisuales VSV and Tenerife Film Equipment — AEAT ATA carnet through MAD, BCN and TFS
Here is how this works in practice. Gear planning in Spain anchors on the Madrid–Barcelona rental cluster that has supplied Almodóvar, Bayona. Society of the Snow and the Game of Thrones Andalucía blocks. Our coordinators build kit lists against live inventories at Camara Movil Madrid (the Almodóvar partner house). Vantage Spain in Madrid and Barcelona (Hawk anamorphic pro), Welab Plus Barcelona. Servicios Audiovisuales VSV Madrid and Vodafone Music Hub Madrid. With Canary Islands packages staged through Tenerife Film Gear for Fuerteventura and Lanzarote work that shoots like Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Here is the short of it. Wonder Woman 1984 and Fast & Furious 6 ran through. Camera bodies mostly anchor on ARRI Alexa 35, Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2 and RED V-Raptor 8K. Paired with Cooke S7/i, Atlas Orion anamorphics. ARRI Signature Primes or Hawk V-Lite glass per the cinematographer's brief. Specialty rigs — Russian Arm, technocrane, Edge Arm, helicopter mounts — are quoted through Camara Movil and Helicopters Spain. With cross-border backup from ARRI Rental Paris and ARRI Rental Portugal (Lisbon 6h drive) when a redundant package is needed for the Andalucía or Galicia legs.
Here is the breakdown. Global shoots add an AEAT (Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria) customs layer that our team handles from start to finish via ATA carnet. With broker filings at MAD Barajas. BCN El Prat and TFS Tenerife Sur scheduled against the shoot calendar. Spain's 21% IVA (VAT) makes miscoded inventory costly fast, so we keep redundant kit at the rental bond store for replacement runs during principal photography. Drone packages are booked with ENAIRE-licensed pilots holding AESA airspace clearances — DJI Inspire 3, Inspire 2 X7 and Mavic 3 Cine bodies.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. And off-limits-zone authorisations are pre-filed for Madrid's airport ceiling. Barcelona harbour and the Canary Islands tourism corridor. Summer-heat camera-housing protocols (40°C+ Sevilla/Almería/Madrid Jul–Aug), Atlantic-spray covers for Galicia and Asturias. And altitude-rated battery sleeves for Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada packages are built into each kit list so departments aren't troubleshooting site-level failures on day one.
