Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can I book crew separately without renting equipment?
Yes, but we prefer to pair crew members with equipment from our range that they regularly work with.

How does invoicing work?
Crew services are normally invoiced directly between you and the freelancer. If your production needs it, we can also arrange the service through us as a subcontract, with a single invoice covering both crew and equipment rental.

What if I need someone at the last minute?
Give us a call. We are open 7 days a week, and sometimes miracles really do happen.

Do you also provide directors, production managers or make-up artists?
We specialize exclusively in technical roles whose expertise we can vouch for. Thanks to our long-standing knowledge of the Czech photography and video scene, we can also advise on most other requests.
