Production company review
What is a D.I.C.E. production company?
A D.I.C.E. production company produces documentary, industrial, commercial, or educational work. DICE policies can also be reviewed for music videos, short films, features, branded content, corporate video, and related production operations depending on underwriting appetite.
What does DICE insurance usually review?
Underwriters review the production company, production schedule, locations, equipment, cast and crew, contracts, certificate requirements, prior losses, and any specialty activity that changes the risk.
Is DICE only for four production types?
No. Documentary, industrial, commercial, and educational are the core categories, but DICE programs can often include more production activity when the application and operations fit carrier guidelines.
Direct answer
A D.I.C.E. production company produces Documentary, Industrial, Commercial, or Educational work. The practical insurance review can also extend beyond those four categories to music videos, short films, features, branded content, corporate video, photography shoots, and related production operations.
Interviews, field shoots, docuseries, public-interest work, and location-based documentary production.
Internal, technical, operational, manufacturing, safety, training, and corporate process video work.
Advertisements, branded content, spec spots, product videos, sales videos, and promotional productions.
Educational films, training content, instructional programs, seminars, and public-service video work.
Expanded fit
The production-family source material includes many eligible examples. DICE is the entry point for the production company story; underwriting still looks at the full activity, schedule, contracts, equipment, and any specialty work.

Specialty activity
DICE production review can include routine production-company operations and specialty activity. The goal is to present the underwriter with a file that clearly separates ordinary production work from scenes or activities needing extra attention.
Shoots from aircraft including airplanes, helicopters, gliders, balloons and unmanned aircraft (drones). Includes scenic shots from private or commercial aircraft that do not involve aerial acrobatics or other hazardous maneuvers.
Scenes involving the use of animals, such as dogs, farm animals, household pets, and zoo animals.
Scenes involving scripted and choreographed falls.
Fight scenes that are choreographed, structured, and sequenced. These scenes may involve physical contact between actors and the use of weapons.
Controlled driving on public roads, race tracks, off-road, chase scenes, skidding, collisions, explosions, and motorcycles.
Fireworks, flashboxes, demolition, explosions, and other pyrotechnic effects.
Non-hazardous filming activities at railroad stations, inactive tracks, service tracks or on passenger, commuter, or freight trains.
Use of recreational vehicles such as ATVs, go karts, mopeds, motorcycles, scooters, segways, snowmobiles, and similar vehicles.
Canoes, kayaks, lake shoots, surfing, and pool scenes. Watercraft liability may require separate placement.
Scenes involving prop guns, squibs, blanks, knives or similar weapons.
