Portable Power Solutions

Here is how this works in practice. We give portable power options for shoots filming across the Czech Republic, supplying power packs, battery systems, distribution boards and the electricians to manage them. Location work here ranges from Prague's historic core to remote sites in the Bohemian and Moravian countryside. The Krkonoše Giant Mountains and Bohemian Switzerland National Park. Few of these places give the mains capacity a full lighting and camera unit needs. Our power packages scale from quiet inverter power packs for documentary and commercial work to large silenced units for feature lighting rigs.

Here is the short of it. We plan distribution with care so cable runs, load balancing and on-set electrical safety meet pro standards. The Czech crew base has skilled rigging electricians who manage power for global shoots. We set up power packs placement to minimise noise on sound-sensitive shoots.

Here is the breakdown. Power planning in the Czech Republic also responds to the country's heritage and site-level constraints. Filming in covered baroque interiors, at castles such as Karlštejn and Konopiště, or within UNESCO sites including the Historic Centre of Prague and Český Krumlov often means power packs and cabling must be sited discreetly under conditions agreed with the Prague Film Commission and regional authorities. Battery and hybrid power systems reduce noise and emissions for sensitive locations and for shoots conscious of site-level impact.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Productions accessing the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebates, administered by the Státní fond kinematografie, rely on dependable portable power across long schedules and the cold, snowy winters of the Central-European climate, where power packs must run reliably in low temperatures. We budget the power package in Czech koruna with 21% VAT and supply the electrical risk assessments insurers need.
