What we do
The people and logistics that make a shoot happen.
Bring us in for a specific piece of the production, or have us handle the logistics from prep through wrap.
Pre-production, crew support, shoot-day coordination, sourcing, pickups, setup, breakdown, and the hundred other things that need to happen before everyone goes home.
Production vehicles, equipment transportation, pickups and deliveries, location moves, load-ins, load-outs, and logistics throughout Los Angeles.
Experienced hands on set to keep equipment, locations, vendors, schedules, and production needs moving.
Sourcing, props, furniture, materials, transportation, installation, setup, and strike for production-design needs.
Coming to Los Angeles to shoot? We can be your team on the ground for transportation, sourcing, logistics, prep, and shoot-day support.
Logistics
We’ve got the logistics covered.
Gear needs to get picked up. Props need to arrive. Locations need to be prepped. Something changes at the last minute, every time. We handle the practical side of production so the creative team can concentrate on the shoot.

Right-sized production support
As much production as you need.
Some shoots need a truck and two experienced people. Some need several days of prep, sourcing, transportation and a small crew on set. We build around the job.
Best suited to small and mid-size commercial, editorial, e-commerce, interiors, product and branded-content productions. On larger shoots we work alongside the lead production team within our areas of expertise.

Questions
Can you provide production support for a photo shoot in Los Angeles?
Yes. Hartman Production Co. provides production support for commercial, editorial and branded photo shoots throughout Greater Los Angeles, including transportation, logistics, prop and material sourcing, location prep, setup and strike, production design support, and experienced crew on set.
Can you help an out-of-town photographer or producer shooting in Los Angeles?
That is a large part of the work. If you are travelling to Los Angeles to shoot, we act as your ground team: production vehicles, equipment pickups from the rental houses, prop and material sourcing, location prep, and experienced hands on set. You arrive to a shoot that has already been set up rather than to a day of errands.
Do you provide production vehicles and equipment transportation?
Yes. We run production vehicles sized for photo and content shoots: enough capacity for grip, lighting, props, furniture and set materials, without the overhead of a full studio transportation package. We handle rental-house pickups and returns, prop and furniture transport, deliveries, load-ins, load-outs and location moves across Greater Los Angeles.
What is the difference between production support and a full-service production company?
A full-service production company takes the whole job: budget, bidding, casting, permits, crew, insurance and delivery. Production support covers a defined part of it — usually logistics, transportation, sourcing, prep and on-set crew. Hartman Production Co. is a production support company. On small and mid-size shoots we can carry most of the production; on larger ones we work alongside the lead production team inside our own scope.
Let’s make the shoot happen.
Send the basics — what you’re shooting, when, where, and what you need from us. We answer every enquiry, including the ones we’re not right for.
