Corporate Video Production in Singapore
Corporate films and client testimonials filmed in Singapore by trusted partner crews, working to a plan our team writes and you approve, then edited in São Paulo. One contract in US dollars, from the first call to the final file.
Filming across Singapore
A Singapore partner crew films to your approved plan. Our team reviews every shoot day.
Owner approvals, agency permits and building rules sorted before the shoot day.
What we produce for teams in Singapore
Two formats are filmed on location in Singapore. Corporate films introduce a regional headquarters, a leadership message, a facility or a milestone, built on interviews and footage of the work. Client testimonials put your customers on camera to explain what they needed and what changed. A Singapore partner crew films them in your office, a hired studio or a customer’s site, following a script, interview guide and shot list that our team prepares and you approve. See how we approach corporate film production and client testimonial videos.
Some projects need no shoot in Singapore. Animated videos, films built with AI-generated imagery, stock footage edits and new cuts of footage you already have are produced entirely by our team in São Paulo and delivered in the same formats and languages as a filmed project.
When the story depends on a real person, a real place or a real customer result, it needs a shoot. When it explains a process, a product or a regional strategy, animation or AI-generated imagery can carry it. Many regional teams mix both: one leadership interview filmed in Singapore, with animated sequences that carry the numbers across markets.

How Singapore production works
One accountable company and one written plan, followed by a partner crew in Singapore and reviewed by our team in São Paulo.
01.
Creative direction
Our creative team in São Paulo writes the script or interview guide, the shot list and the visual references, so the crew in Singapore knows exactly what the film needs. You approve each document before the shoot.
02.
Pre-production and approvals
Production management in São Paulo books the Singapore crew, confirms locations with their owners, requests any agency permits and agrees a call sheet with your team, with a single point of contact.
03.
Filming in Singapore
A crew from our trusted Singapore production partners films at your location, led by their producer and following the approved plan scene by scene. Nobody flies in from Brazil.
04.
Reviewed at the end of each day
The crew uploads the day’s footage when the shoot wraps. Singapore is 11 hours ahead of São Paulo, so the Singapore evening is our morning: we review the material during our working day and send notes before the next shoot day starts.
05.
Editing and post-production
Editing, color, sound, motion graphics, captions and versions are done by our post-production team in São Paulo. Because of the time difference, cuts we send at the end of our day reach you early in your morning.
06.
Contract and billing
You contract Olive Tree Films, LLC, our US company in Miami, and pay in US dollars. We hire and coordinate the Singapore crew, so your procurement team onboards one vendor.
What every Singapore project includes
A written plan approved before the shoot, a review of every shoot day, voice-over in more than 50 languages, two revision rounds in every package and a team that has served more than 400 clients.
Owners, agencies and the weather
Most corporate filming in Singapore takes place indoors: an office in the CBD, a lab, a regional headquarters, a customer’s site. On private property, permission comes from the owner or the building’s management, which may also set loading times, lift bookings and security passes for the crew. Share those rules early, so they become part of the plan.
Outside, the rules are simple but specific. According to the IMDA guide to filming in Singapore, permits are generally not required for filming on streets and walkways as long as there is no obstruction to vehicles or pedestrians, and nearby businesses or neighbors should be told at least three working days ahead. Government-owned places are approved by the agency that manages them: the Land Transport Authority for roads and public facilities, SMRT for trains and stations, HDB and the Town Councils for housing estates, the Singapore Land Authority for state land, the Maritime and Port Authority for port waters and Sentosa Development Corporation for Sentosa. NParks requires a permit for all filming in parks and nature reserves, with no fee, and asks for applications at least one month ahead.
Drones need two permits from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, an Operator Permit and a Class 1 Activity Permit, whatever the location or the size of the aircraft, and processing takes at least 10 working days. If the film needs aerial shots, mention it in the first call.
Singapore is hot and humid all year, and heavy showers can arrive quickly. Exterior scenes get an indoor alternative and some buffer in the schedule; interviews filmed indoors are not affected.
Eight animated episodes for the UN Global Compact Network Brazil’s anti-corruption campaign, delivered in Portuguese, Spanish and English, with the English version presented in Paris at a side event of the OECD Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum. Produced in São Paulo, with no filming. It shows the part of our work that never needs a crew: for a Singapore team with markets across the region, one script can become a series in several languages. Read the UN Global Compact case.
The trailer is public. The full film is available on request.
Relevant work
Comparable projects, and where they were filmed
These projects were filmed in Brazil. They show the planning a crew needs to film a story to one standard, the same planning we send to our partners in Singapore. Our clients also include companies headquartered in Japan, such as Takeda, Daiichi Sankyo, Yamaha Motor and Tokio Marine.
One global standard
KPMG
The Brazilian chapter of KPMG’s global series Make the Difference, shot by our crew to the visual standard Beagle Media had set in earlier seasons: an interview, five office scenes and an exterior in one day. Filmed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Read the KPMG case.
Planned to the minute
Certta
A rebranding film with four executives, four sectors and one shooting day, with a corporate space turned into four themed sets and a closing scene at a nearby restaurant. Filmed in São Paulo, Brazil. Read the Certta case.
Industrial, in one day
Rossetti
A brand film for a manufacturer of tipper bodies and semitrailers, written by our team and filmed in one day at the plant, followed by a customer case for Comlink at the same site. Filmed in Guarulhos, Brazil. Read the Rossetti case.

Languages
English, Spanish and Portuguese
Singapore works in English, alongside Mandarin, Malay and Tamil, its other official languages. In the 2020 Census, 48.3% of residents aged five and over spoke English most often at home, according to Singapore’s Department of Statistics. Our team works in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Briefing and reviews
Scripts in English
Scripts, interview guides and shot lists are written in English, the working language of business in Singapore, and can also be prepared in Spanish or Portuguese for stakeholders elsewhere.
On set
Interviews in other languages
Most corporate interviews in Singapore are in English. If an interviewee prefers another language, tell us before the shoot so that translation and captions are part of the plan.
Post-production
Captions and 50+ voices
Captions come with every package and voice-over is available in more than 50 languages, so one Singapore film can travel across the region.
One Singapore shoot, versions for Asia Pacific
Singapore is where many companies run Asia Pacific, so a film made there often has to work in several markets. Settle the versions before the shoot: which interviews need subtitles, which on-screen text changes by country, and which scenes must work vertically as well as horizontally. Decided early, a version is an edit; decided late, it can mean another shoot day.
Because our base is in São Paulo, a Portuguese version for Brazil or a Spanish version for Latin America can come from the same project. See how we approach multi-market video production.
Part of every package
Six things come with every corporate video package. Anything more is written into the proposal before production starts.
01.
Long and short versions
Two long and two short cuts of the film, for a website or an event screen and for social feeds.
02.
Horizontal and vertical
Horizontal and vertical files, so the same film works in presentations and on phones.
03.
Captions
Captions on every version, for silent viewing and accessibility.
04.
Two revision rounds
Two rounds of changes after the first cut, best handled with one person collecting comments on your side.
05.
Usage rights
Usage without a time limit for films with no actors, and one year for films with actors.
06.
Music
Licensed royalty-free music, with original music quoted separately if you want it.
Corporate video packages from $5,000
Singapore projects are quoted in US dollars, from $5,000 for a corporate video, with scope, schedule and price in the proposal before any date is booked.
What shapes the price and the timeline
A Singapore proposal depends on shooting days, the number of locations and the distance between them, crew size, any agency permits, actors, the number of interviews, languages and versions, animation and music. Building rules count too: restricted loading hours or lift bookings can change the crew call and the cost.
Plan on 20 to 30 calendar days from briefing to first cut when the project includes a Singapore shoot or actors, and 15 to 20 when it is built from existing footage, stock or animation. A shoot needs at least 15 calendar days of notice, and more when it involves a park, where NParks asks for a month, or drones, where the CAAS permits take at least 10 working days. The two revision rounds then move at the pace of your feedback.
Regional calendars move Singapore schedules: executives traveling across the region, building access and approvals that involve a headquarters in another time zone. If the film is tied to a regional meeting or a launch, give us the date first and we plan back from it.
For the first call, have the goal and audience, the people who could appear on camera, the locations and building rules, the approvers and your brand guidelines ready. None of it is required to send a request.

Practical questions about filming in Singapore
What regional teams usually ask before booking a Singapore shoot.
Do you have an office in Singapore?
We have a Singapore address and phone line: 1 Fullerton Road, #02-01 One Fullerton, Singapore 049213, and +65 6027 6855. We do not have staff based in Singapore today. Shoots are filmed by trusted Singapore partner crews following a plan our team writes, creative work and post-production are done in São Paulo, and you contract Olive Tree Films, LLC, our US company in Miami.
How do you direct a shoot you are not watching live?
With a plan detailed enough to follow without us in the room: script or interview guide, shot list, visual references and a call sheet, all approved by you. The partner crew’s producer runs the set, and we review the footage at the end of each shoot day, which is our morning in São Paulo, so any notes reach the crew before the next day starts.
Do we need a permit to film in Singapore?
Usually not for streets and walkways, as long as the crew does not obstruct vehicles or pedestrians, and not for private property, where the owner gives permission. Government-owned places, from roads and stations to housing estates and state land, need approval from the agency that manages them, and NParks requires a permit for any filming in parks.
Can we film with a drone in Singapore?
Only with two permits from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, an Operator Permit and a Class 1 Activity Permit, which non-recreational flights need whatever the location or the size of the drone. Processing takes at least 10 working days, so aerial shots need to be in the plan from the start.
Can interviews be in Mandarin, Malay or Tamil?
Yes, if you tell us before the shoot. Most corporate interviews in Singapore are in English; when someone prefers another language, translation and English captions become part of the plan. Captions are included in every package, and voice-over is available in more than 50 languages.
How far ahead should we book a shoot in Singapore?
At least 15 calendar days before the shoot. Allow a month if the film needs a park, since NParks asks for applications at least one month ahead, and more time if drones or several executives are involved.
