Temporary Power for the Film Industry

Need support? We’re available 24/7/365

A film set operates under a unique combination of artistic ambition and logistical pressure, which can create challenges such as sound sensitivity and tight schedules. Trinity Power provides temporary power solutions to help your power infrastructure perform under these dynamic conditions. With deep roots in the film industry dating back to 1998, we bring the knowledge to match you with the right equipment for your production.

Power Equipment for Rent

Our movie production power equipment rentals in Canada provide essential electrical infrastructure for film productions, particularly when shooting on location where grid power is insufficient or unavailable. Our comprehensive inventory for indoor and outdoor applications includes generator rentals for film production and other solutions that help you:

  • Capture clean audio: The noise from a generator can impact an audio track, forcing difficult placement choices that can affect the quality of the final sound mix. Our sound-attenuated enclosures provide quiet generators for film shoots to preserve the integrity of your audio capture.
  • Build a safe, efficient on-set grid: A film set is a dynamic environment where lighting and camera setups change frequently throughout a shooting day. An inefficient or disorganized power setup can present logistical challenges and safety concerns on a crowded set. We support your film equipment with power distribution solutions, including I-Line panels and distribution boxes with Camlok connections, allowing you to build an adaptable power grid that supports these changing requirements.
  • Protect your digital workflow: A momentary power fluctuation at the DIT cart or video village can corrupt data, making you lose a potentially perfect take. Our transfer switches provide uninterrupted power to protect your DIT cart and video village from data loss.
  • Verify system reliability before you roll: A power system failure at the critical filming moment can ruin the take and valuable time and effort. Our mobile load banks allow you to test the power system before filming and confirm its capacity.
  • Scale your power for large productions: Powering multiple sound stages, construction mills and production offices simultaneously can be a complex logistical challenge. We offer mobile transformers and packaged substations to manage the high-capacity demands of the largest productions.
