CAMERA PACKAGE
These are some of the photographic tools that come with me. Different or specialized cameras, lenses and rigging can be rented quickly and locally to supplement this kit as desired.
LENSES
Glass is the most important element in the camera system, so I have a wide variety of lenses new and old, from extremely wide to extremely long focal lengths, including a full set of beautiful Zeiss primes. I love these babies and I’m always adding more to the team.
ARRI ALEXA CLASSIC
My dream camera, the peak of digital cinema perfection IMO. Its big, heavy, and makes the most beautiful image I have ever seen. Chances are your favourite movie was shot on the Alexa sensor.
The Alexa classic shoots Prores 444 in 2k resolution. It can record up to 120 frames per second.
SONY FX3
The Sony FX3 is a top of the line industry standard small body 4k documentary and cinema camera. I like to use it for documentary shoots because it is super lightweight and maneuverable, records at super high ISO meaning even in extremely low light a beautiful image can be captured, internal stabilization eliminates micro jitters, and it has 4 channel audio. It can shoot 120fps in 4k and even 240fps in HD. It rides an RS4 pro gimbal when needed. You can be very low key with this camera.
The Canon C100
The C100 is a documentary workhorse. It produces a beautiful 1080p image with the world famous Canon colour science, particularly renowned for its rendition of skin tones. The camera’s extremely efficient compression means file sizes are small, so I can shoot for days on end without needing terabytes of storage and yet the image is clean and can handle color grading. It has XLR ins for quality sound recording and shoots in up to 60 frames per second.
With a pair of these colour-matched coverage is a snap.
VHS
While it is possible to emulate the VHS look digitally, there is nothing quite like shooting on the real thing. Standard def, square format, random distortions, and unique gamma and colour profiles. Integrate genuine VHS footage into your movie for that unmistakable look.
DRONE - DJI MINI 2
This nimble little drone gets you aerial views and epic dollies and jibs over the city or the landscape. This particular drone is technically a hobby drone, which makes it plausible to fly gorilla style. Its essentially a flying GoPro. Shoots 4k.
GoPro 9
This go anywhere, attach to anything, underwater action camera is great for special shots that cant be captured with full size cameras. It’s also awesome for time-lapses and super wide angle coverage of performances.
Delica
My van takes me and my gear anywhere on-road or off. I can sleep in it, shoot out of it, charge batteries and stay warm in it. Its my dream car and a fantastic production vehicle.
