On Location
On-set production comms across French locations
Production comms in France face locations that defeat consumer radios. Think thick stone walls in a Loire Valley château, deep basements and elevator shafts in a Haussmann building near Bastille, the dense urban canyons of La Défense, and the long sightlines of a Côte d'Azur exterior. We supply Motorola digital walkie-talkies, Clear-Com and Riedel intercom systems, surveillance earpieces, IFB feeds for talent, and repeater setups for multi-floor or remote work. We source through TSF, Transpalux, and Loca-Images, so charged, programmed gear arrives ready for the first call.
Our team handles ANFR frequency licensing for each shoot, programs channels by department, and tests coverage on location before crew arrive. That matters most for multi-unit features staging across Paris, Lyon, and Marseille in the same week. We scale quantities to crew size and supply backup radios and spare batteries for full shooting days. Video village talkback ties into wireless video feeds where the director needs both audio and image inside the tent. A French support contact stays reachable for the run, so a dead handset is swapped within the hour.
FAQ
Production Communication Expertise
What communication systems do you provide?
We supply full comms solutions, including two-way radios (Motorola digital and analog), production headsets, Clear-Com and Riedel intercom systems, IFB feeds for talent, and specialty planning systems. The gear runs from basic walkie-talkies up to large broadcast intercom rigs.
How many radios do I need for my production?
Radio needs depend on crew size and how complex the shoot is. A typical feature needs 30-80 radios to cover all departments. We help review your needs and suggest the right quantities, plus backup units, and we can add more gear as the shoot rolls on.
Can you provide coverage in remote locations?
Yes. We build systems for tough locations using repeaters, long-range gear, and multi-site planning. When we can, our team surveys the location first to spot coverage gaps and bring the right fix.
Do you handle frequency licensing in France?
We handle all frequency licensing with the French authorities (ANFR). That covers short-term production licenses, frequency planning, and compliance records. Lead time varies by location and how much range is free.
What about intercom systems for video village?
We provide full video village comms, including director-to-set links, camera talkback, script supervisor links, and department planning. The systems can tie into wireless video, so you get tracking and comms in one place.
How do you handle equipment for multiple units?
For multi-unit shoots, we build comms plans with a separate channel per unit, shared frequencies for key staff, and clean cross-unit planning. Each unit gets its own full gear package.
