SCENE 01 / PORTABLE POWER SOLUTIONS
Portable Power Solutions
Professional power solutions for film production anywhere in France.
Portable power solutions keep shoots running where mains power is not steady. Battery systems, compact power packs, and hybrid units give the clean, even energy that lighting, camera, and sound need. That energy lets each crew work in remote, off-limits, or noise-sensitive places.
We source portable power matched to your load needs and location limits. Our team reviews noise levels, runtime needs, and site factors, then delivers the right power package. This keeps your crew working without breaks at every planned stop.

On Location
Generator and battery power for French location shoots
Mains power is never a given on a Paris exterior, a Loire Valley vineyard, or a Brittany fishing port. Our power packages are sized so it doesn't have to be. We supply Stage V-compliant whisper film power packs in 20, 40, 60, and 100 kVA from Transpalux and TSF. Their low-noise housings are rated under 65 dB at three metres, so the boom op never asks for a move. For Camargue marshland and Alps treeline shoots where roads run out, we use helicopter-ready 7-25 kVA units and Volta-charged Honda inverter sets. These stay within Natura 2000 noise limits without a site-level waiver fight.
Battery and hybrid packages from Anton Bauer, Bluetti AC500, and EcoFlow Delta Pro deliver silent power for ARRI SkyPanels and Aputure 1200d Pros. They cover listed Haussmann interiors where power packs are not allowed. They also suit heritage sites such as the châteaux of the Loire and the Vieux-Port quaysides in Marseille. Distribution runs through Bender ISO-Guard, RCD-covered lunch boxes, and proper cam-lock tie-ins to French CEE 32A and 63A 3-phase. This keeps everything you plug in inside the French Code du Travail electrical safety envelope.
FAQ
Professional Power Services
How do I calculate power requirements for my production?
We work out power needs from your gear lists, and lighting draws the most. Our team checks total wattage, allows for startup surges, and picks the right power pack capacity with safety margins. Typical small shoots need 20-40kVA, while larger shoots may need 100kVA+.
What's the difference between film generators and standard generators?
Film power packs, also called whisper power packs, are built to run quietly, mostly 60-70dB at distance versus 80-90dB for standard power packs. That low noise matters a lot when recording sound. They also give cleaner, more stable power for sensitive gear.
Can you provide power for remote locations without road access?
Yes. We supply helicopter-transportable power packs, portable battery systems, and solar setups for remote locations. Remote power takes early planning so we can make sure the capacity matches your production.
Do generators come with operators?
Power pack operators are on hand and advised for larger shoots. They handle startup, tracking, refueling, load management, and troubleshooting. For smaller power packs, trained production crew can run them once properly briefed.
What battery options are available for silent shooting?
We supply high-capacity lithium battery systems for fully silent power. These range from portable packs for small setups to large battery arrays for full lighting packages. Battery systems suit interview setups, sensitive location work, and any shoot that needs zero power pack noise.
How is power distribution handled on set?
We supply distribution boxes, proper cable runs, and connection hardware. Distribution is managed to balance loads, protect circuits, and deliver safe power to every department. Our electrical team or power pack operator watches distribution across the shoot.
