SAIGON VIDEOGRAPHER
Camera Crew & Fixer in Vietnam
Professional camera crews and local fixer support for international agencies, production companies, broadcasters, brands and filmmakers working in Vietnam.
Hire a single videographer for a straightforward shoot, or a complete local crew for a larger production. We also support directors, producers and creative teams travelling to Vietnam with crew sourcing, equipment, locations, logistics and translation.
Based in Ho Chi Minh City, we coordinate productions across Vietnam including Hanoi and Da Nang. Send us your brief and we will recommend the right crew and production setup for your project.
The right crew depends on the scale and technical requirements of the production. A single videographer may be enough for interviews, event coverage or a simple corporate shoot. More complex productions may require a DoP, camera assistants, dedicated sound, lighting and local production support. We can provide individual technicians or assemble a complete team around your existing director or producer.
Available crew roles
- Director of Photography (DoP)
- Camera operator
- Videographer
- Camera assistant
- Gaffer and lighting assistant

Crew size is adapted to the brief, filming schedule, locations and expected production value.
Our fixer service covers the local preparation and coordination required to film efficiently in Vietnam. We can manage local production from the initial research stage, or support an international producer who already has a detailed schedule and creative brief.
Fixer and production support may include
- Location research and scouting
- Contact with locations and contributors
- Production scheduling
- Translation and on-set interpretation

- Transport and accommodation coordination
- Contributor and interview coordination
- Casting support
- Research and local fact-checking

- On-set logistics and troubleshooting
The scope is agreed before the project begins so responsibilities remain clear between your team and ours.

When a production requires more advanced cinema cameras, specialist lenses, larger lighting packages or additional grip equipment, we work with trusted rental partners across Vietnam.
Contact us with your preferred camera system, recording format and technical requirements, and we will recommend the most suitable equipment package for your production.
Our main base is in Ho Chi Minh City, where we provide crews and equipment directly. We also coordinate productions in locations across the country:

I worked with Chris and his team at Eco-Saigonvideographer for a video production project in A Luoi, Hue City, Viet Nam. They were highly reliable and responsive throughout the entire process, from pre-production to post-production. The final result was excellent. I would highly recommend them for impact video production.
Chris from Saigon Videographer has helped my agency with multiple high-level video productions in both Vietnam and Southeast Asia. He and his team are thorough professionals with a very varied skill set in video pre production, production and post production. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team for any of your video needs.
Nice experience working with the professional team from pre-production to post-production. The outcomes were truly impressive; their modern style and creative approach resulted in a video that perfectly matched our brief. Highly recommend their services!
We had a contact with Christophe few days before a shooting. He sent a member of his crew, and we could remotely control the shooting from Paris. Then we shot another day, still remote, and the crew was really taking care of every notes from the director. I highly recommend Saigon Videographer for any shooting in Vietnam.
