Hong Kong Film Locations
Hong Kong was originally chosen by the colonial British for its calm bay and strategic position. In fact, the name Hong Kong itself means ‘fragrant harbor’ in the Cantonese dialect. Since that era, the city has grown to become a global power player and a financial hub rivaling even London and New York. The iconic skyline, high-rises, rooftops, streets and trolleys, and bright red double-decker busses all bring recognition to HK.
The greater Hong Kong metropolitan area is situated on a peninsula and among over 200 islands. This includes Hong Kong island, which itself serves as the financial district. Across the channel, the historic Kowloon district is a vibrant area full of shopping, nightlife, and entertainment. Settled against Victoria Harbour, the camera lands on an amazing skyline that stretches into an almost endless panoramic view. Bright lights, skyscrapers, and spotlights reach the night sky set against a backdrop of tall and craggy mountain peaks.
Hong Kong is a Centralized Asian Travel Hub
Getting to Hong Kong is easy, and getting from Hong Kong to anywhere in Asia is easier yet! HK boasts a major international airport that is regularly rated among the world’s best, with multiple daily direct flights to major western, European and Asian countries. Immigration and customs are always simple and fast, with minimal red tape and bureaucratic administration. Not only that but importing and exporting equipment is conveniently supported via ATA Carnets.
Hong Kong Crew and Film Equipment
Among film industry circles it’s widely agreed that Hong Kong’s Film crews are some of the best in the world. Local AD’s, line producers, and art departments are extremely efficient and fast and English is widely spoken. There is an abundance of freelance crew to choose from. This list includes focus pullers, gaffers, DOPs, production managers, coordinators, PAs and more.
Equipment rentals in Hong Kong are widely available to fit any budget. Vendors supply all major brands of camera, lighting and grip equipment.
