Frequently Asked Questions — Sydney Crew
Do Sydney crews use the same equipment as US crews?
Yes — Sydney's rental houses stock identical broadcast-standard gear (Sony, Canon, ARRI, RED). Assignment Desk sources professional equipment locally, matching US quality standards.
What are Australia's production incentives?
Australia's Location Offset provides a 16.5% tax rebate on qualifying Australian production expenditure. Screen NSW offers additional funding and incentives for productions based in New South Wales.
How does the timezone difference affect US coordination?
Sydney is 14-17 hours ahead of US timezones. Assignment Desk's US team manages scheduling overlap and our Sydney crew operates independently during local hours. We provide detailed call sheets and production plans to bridge the gap.
What is the best time to shoot in Sydney?
Sydney enjoys mild weather year-round. October through April (southern spring/summer) offers the warmest temperatures and longest days. Winter (June-August) is mild (10-18°C) and good for shooting.
Can I combine Sydney with Melbourne shoots?
Yes — Sydney and Melbourne are a 1.5-hour flight apart. Assignment Desk regularly coordinates dual-city Australian productions and can extend to Brisbane, Perth, or other markets.
