With the global pandemic, traveling to Japan for production is becoming more challenging. In response, DFS Productions has launched remote production services, allowing clients to direct and supervise projects without leaving the comfort of their homes. Our services are designed to cater to the new reality and the growing demand for remote production services.

Our remote monitoring system allows you to direct and supervise actual productions in real-time through the internet using video telephony applications like Google Meet and Zoom. You can now monitor not only studio shootings but also location shootings with your PC, Mac, smartphone, or tablet. We have established workflows that enable you to watch high-quality streaming pictures, check compositions, exposures, lighting, and even sounds, regardless of where you are in the world.

Remote Production Services in Osaka

At DFS Productions, we understand the need for simplicity when it comes to remote production services. All you need is a device, internet access, and a video telephony app like Google Meet and Zoom. With our service, you can communicate with local crew and performers in front of the camera in real-time while watching high-quality streaming pictures on your PC or other device. Depending on the setups, you can also monitor multiple angles, including an Ambient Eye, which captures larger spaces in the field that recording cameras do not necessarily see. You can also check what the recording cameras see, giving you complete control of the production process.
