Video Assist

Video assist in Peru grew from a steady flow of feature, drama, and ad work moving through Lima. Cinesphere, Tondero Studios, Audiovisual Project Perú, and a busy Latin American ad pipeline keep crews in constant rotation. Our video assist team comes from that pool. These pros build and strike video village several times a week. They know each capital stage's signal routing by heart and carry the wireless transmission, recorder, and monitor kit that global features and series need.

Crews often cover multi-camera blocks that shoot three or four cameras at once. They run director, client, and producer feeds at separate monitor stations, using SmallHD Cine, Atomos, TVLogic, and Sony BVM-HX310 reference monitors. Backup recordings give the safety net that broadcast standards for Sky Latin America, HBO Max, and Telefé demand from global jobs.

On location, the same crews travel with the shoot. Cusco and the Sacred Valley host global features at 2,800-3,400m. Machu Picchu allows tight-window heritage shooting cleared through Ministerio de Cultura INC. The Amazon basin in Madre de Dios suits documentary and natural-history work, while Paracas and the Atacama-adjacent desert coast draw ad campaigns.

Gear packages cover QTAKE and Live Grade workflows for DIT-side colour at the Cinesphere DI bay. They also handle proxy generation, LUT management, colour calibration via Pomfort, slow-motion review, and clip-marking, so the director can compare takes on the spot instead of waiting for dailies. Secure streaming for off-site producers and executives is built in for global shoots whose stakeholders sit in Los Angeles, Miami, or Madrid, with forms ready for the 30% Ley 26370 rebates. Coordinators scale the crew and gear loadout to the shoot. A one-day ad shoot in Miraflores runs one operator with a two-monitor village, while a Sacred Valley feature carries a full team with backup chains.
