EQUiptment List
I’m highly experienced working with the majority of cinema camera systems, including ARRI, RED, Sony, and Blackmagic platforms, along with all wireless focus systems, monitors, lens control systems, and on-set camera workflows.
From building complex camera rigs to troubleshooting problems quickly under pressure, I pride myself on keeping the camera department running smoothly.
Owning a production and rental company, I have easy access to a large amount of equipment and gear.
