Equipment Planning Services

Here is the breakdown. We plan gear packages for shoots in Belgium, specifying camera, lighting, grip and sound kit to match each project's creative brief and budget. Our team works with rental houses across Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent, negotiates rates in euros with VAT at 21%, and sets up delivery and return around the multi-site days that Belgium's compact geography makes routine. Because Belgium is a founding EU member inside the single market and Schengen, moving gear in from other EU countries is straightforward, and ATA Carnets handle gear arriving from outside the EU cleanly. We align kit lists with the qualifying-expenditure rules of the Belgian Tax Shelter and the support conditions of the VAF, Screen Flanders, Wallimage and screen.brussels, so gear spend works for both the production and its funding.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Practical planning in Belgium accounts for location and climate. The temperate maritime climate — frequent rain, damp conditions and soft grey light — argues for weather protection, reliable lighting to lift dull skies, and backup power for shoots in the forested Ardennes or on the exposed North Sea coast. Filming in covered historic settings such as the Grand-Place in Brussels or the medieval centre of Bruges can limit the size and footprint of gear, so we plan kit that respects access and conservation limits. Radio gear and wireless systems fall under BIPT range rules. Drone operations under the Belgian civil aviation authority and EU/EASA rules — factors we build into the gear plan from the start so shoots reach the shoot day with the right kit, well cleared.
