SCENE 01 / POWER SOLUTIONS
Power Solutions
Professional production power for your French 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.

Generator and battery power solutions across France
Here is how this works in practice. Production power in France lives across a wide range of constraints — quiet dialogue scenes shot in a Haussmann interior near Bastille that demand super-silent power packs positioned out of mic range, a high-load lighting setup on the Côte d'Azur running many HMIs through a 500kW tow-behind, or a documentary unit working across remote Provence villages on battery and solar. We source power packs from 20kW portable units up through 500kW tow plants drawn from TSF, Transpalux, and Loca-Images, with super-silent baffled housings standard for sound-critical work.
Here is the short of it. Each solution is sized against the actual lighting and gear load, not a rough guess — we calculate startup loads, headroom, and phase balancing in advance, and where fitting set up tie-ins to building electrical systems for studio work in Lyon or Paris with qualified French electricians handling the connection. V-mount and Gold mount batteries from Anton Bauer and IDX, block batteries, and complete charging stations ship alongside the larger power kit when needed, and fuel logistics for multi-day remote shoots are managed from start to finish. You will receive a trusted, well sized power solution with French tech support on standby each shooting day.
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 French electricians skilled in film production. Having local electrical crew makes sure compliance with French rules and efficient, safe power distribution.
What about remote locations?
We can power shoots in remote locations across France. This has setting up power packs delivery, fuel supply, and tech support for locations without convenient grid access.
