Generator Rental for Film and TV Sets in Canada
Location shoots need steady power for lights, cameras and base camp, and quiet generators that stay out of the recording.
What film and tv production usually need
Lighting and camera power
Large lights draw heavily. Size the generator with margin so voltage stays stable.
Quiet running
Choose sound-attenuated sets and place them far from the set. Cables carry the power back.
Base camp and trailers
Trailers, catering and offices share a distribution panel off a mid-size generator.
Generator classes that fit
Pick by total load and by how long it runs. If you are not sure, the size guide helps.

Common questions

How do I keep noise off the recording?
