Video Production
Equipment and freelance hire
I own and operate the Sony FS7 Mark 2 broadcast 4k camera, the Sony Z150 4k camcorder, the Panasonic GH5 and GH4 with a variety of lenses. I also have a full LED lighting kit, motorised rhino slider, gimbal, wireless director monitor, autocue, green screen and sound equipment including radio, shotgun and studio microphones. You can find out more on my camera page here.
I am also a CAA approved drone pilot, operating the DJI Inspire 2 X5S with a variety lenses and the Prores upgrade. I often use drones as part of my productions, find out more here.
Many of my clients use me as an all in one technical solution, using me to both film and edit projects. I’m also often asked to be a key member of larger productions, whether that’s filming from the ground, with my drone above, or editing/creating motion graphics and animations in the post production process.
I am available for freelance hire, if your interested in using me in your project please do get in touch.
