Delhi is a center for filming, and if you are one of the millions of people who want to see this area and film in it, Beverly Boy Productions is here for you to hire a Delhi camera crew for a day or even a month! You can film at Qutub Minar or at Mollem National Park, and we can handle all of your filming needs. Take a look at the top 10 things to look for when you hire a camera crew in Delhi.

1. Film Permits

   

When you choose to film in Delhi, look for camera crews for hire that understand the film permit requirements in Delhi. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has made it where the legal formalities to shoot in this incredible city are easy and you should only have to visit one Government Office to complete permitting paperwork, but fees vary for different permits, so it is best to work with someone who knows to obtain the permits properly.

2. History

   

When you want to film a video production in Delhi, you should be aware of the long, often complicated history of the capital of India, particularly its importance as a political center in India. There is a large portion of the country’s history that has no recordings, making it a lost section in history, but it is known that the invasion of Delhi by Timur took place in 1398 and put an end to the last of the Delhi sultans. From there, the country has many wars, innovations, and more under its belt that has shaped it into the world’s richest democracy and a center for culture and education.

3. Climate

   

Another thing to look for when you hire a camera crew in Delhi is one who knows the climate of Delhi so that they can help you plan the perfect date for filming. There is a season for monsoons that is humid and subtropical, and a semi-arid season, with a high degree of variations between summer and winter temperatures and rainfall. Delhi is known for heavy fogs during the winter, which can make it hard to film, so hire someone who understands the climate here.

4. Lodhi Garden

   

When you need a film crew to help you with interviews, the Lodhi Gardens is a place you should consider using for the location. This oasis in the middle of a crowded city gives much reprieve from city noises and is the perfect place to relax or film quiet shots for your production surrounded by breathtaking views of nature.

5. Sarojini Nagar Market

   

If you need to capture scenes of people shopping, or just want to do some shopping while in Delhi, the Sarojini Nagar Market is the place to be. This location is very famous for its flea market and many diverse wares.

6. Food

   

If you love Indian food, Delhi will be a slice of heaven for you. This diverse city has every type of food you can imagine, but it is particularly great at making Indian food. Check out these places to take a break when you and your Delhi camera crew get famished.

• Bishan Swaroop.
