On a production, one person can affect far more than one call sheet.

When nominated key cast or crew cannot appear, the consequences can extend to location bookings, equipment hire, crew costs, rescheduling and the wider production budget.

KEU’s Film and Commercial Producers’ Indemnity Insurance Solution can provide cover for additional costs arising from the insured non-appearance of nominated key cast or crew, together with a range of other production exposures depending on the cover arranged. T’s and C’s apply.

Not every equipment loss starts with a break-in.

For businesses that hire out professional equipment, one of the more unusual exposures arises when the equipment leaves legitimately, but does not come back.

KEU’s Equipment All Risk Insurance Solution can include cover for absconsion, where a hirer disappears with insured equipment. The solution can also provide protection for film, photographic and music equipment while in storage, transit and when hired out, depending on the cover arranged. T’s and C’s apply.

The value of professional equipment is not always limited to what it costs to replace.

For photographers, videographers, production teams and equipment-hire businesses, the real exposure can sit in the work already booked, the income attached to it and the commitments that still need to be met when essential gear is suddenly unavailable.

In our September blog, Denise Hattingh looks at why Equipment All Risk cover is about more than the equipment itself, and why understanding how that equipment earns its living matters.

When professional equipment is damaged, lost or unavailable, the real cost can extend far beyond replacement. KEU looks at the income, commitments and booked work that depend on equipment being ready when it is needed.

By the time an advertising shoot begins, substantial costs may already have been committed to locations, equipment, cast, crew and production services.

KEU’s Advertisement Cancellation Insurance Solution provides protection where a shoot is cancelled, abandoned or postponed due to insured circumstances beyond the insured’s control. Cover is based on the declared non-recoverable expense budget and may respond to insured events such as venue damage, technical equipment breakdown, or the non-appearance of a main artist. T’s and C’s apply.

For live events, crowd management is not limited to what happens in front of the stage.
Industry guidance divides crowd movement into three distinct phases: arrival and entry, movement within the venue, and departure and dispersal. Each phase brings different considerations, from queues and entrances to circulation routes, congestion and safe exits.

Audience profile also matters. The type of performance, age range of attendees and familiarity with the venue can influence how a crowd moves and behaves. A successful event therefore begins well beyond the performance area. It starts with understanding the full journey of every person attending.

Prize-led campaigns can create memorable engagement, but a successful outcome may also introduce a significant financial obligation.

KEU’s Prize Indemnity Insurance Solution reimburses the insured or sponsor for the cost of an agreed prize awarded following a specified achievement or chance-based outcome. Cover can be structured for hole-in-one competitions, performance incentives, record-breaking achievements and selected promotional campaigns, subject to clearly defined participation and award criteria. T’s and C’s apply.

Did you know the 18-wheeler truck flip in The Dark Knight was a real practical stunt?

The production team physically flipped a full-sized, 40-ton truck end over end on LaSalle Street in Chicago. Special effects supervisor Chris Corbould was so uncertain about the outcome that he turned away and could not watch. The stunt succeeded, and the truck landed exactly where planned.

When essential production equipment is lost or damaged, the financial impact may extend well beyond the cost of repair or replacement.

KEU’s Equipment All Risk Insurance Solution provides cover for film, photographic and music equipment while in storage, transit or use. Depending on the cover arranged, extensions may include continuing hiring charges, additional equipment hire costs and loss of income while insured equipment is being repaired or replaced. T’s and C’s apply.
