Technology & Equipment

Having the right tools for the job is essential.

You produce better pictures, capture more detailed sound, and our client’s videos just stand out against their competitors’.

Here are the main pieces of equipment we use in producing videos for clients.

Cameras

Sony F55 4K

Sony FS7 4K

Canon C300 MK2 4K

RED Weapon 8K

Sony F55

This is the camera preferred camera for major Netflix and Amazon productions such as Mozart in the Jungle, Marco Polo and Marseille.

It’s a beautiful camera which produces incredible pictures and this is what we use on our high end productions.

Sony FS7

Sharing similar features and components to the F55, this is also produces fantastic images and is a versatile camera.

It’s especially good for productions where time is limited and scene set ups need to be fast.

Canon C300 MK2

For a slightly more cinematic look to productions, the C300 MK2 is our camera of choice.

Just as with the Sony cameras, it records in full 4K Ultra HD in LOG for cinematic colour grading and exceptional picture quality.

RED Weapon 8K

The RED Weapon is for projects and clients where having the best of the best is a must.

With a resolution higher than IMAX cinema cameras, the 8K pictures it produces makes anything it films look incredible.

Aerial Drones

Custom Build Heavy Lift

DJI Inspire 2

DJI Phantom 4 Pro

DJI Mavic Pro

Custom Build Heavy Lift

For high end productions we need a lot of lifting power because cameras such as the C300 MK2 or RED Weapon 8K are heavy.

With this drone we always fly with a two-man team, a pilot and a camera operator.

DJI Inspire 2

The Inspire 2 produces incredible quality 4K pictures and it’s both fast and highly manoeuvrable.

The bonus with this drone is that you can choose specific lenses for the job in hand, this add much greater artistic control.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro

The Phantom 4 Pro offers extended flying time and allows us to provide live aerial drone footage for Facebook Live events.

It has additional anti collision sensors which are ideal for flying in built up or indoor areas.

DJI Mavic Pro

The Mavic Pro is our drone of choice for shoots where relatively simple aerial shots are required and budget only allows for a single operator.

As with all our drones, the Mavic Pro produces 4K Ultra HD pictures and thanks to the world class stabilisation system which DJI have developed, the pictures are completely smooth and wobble free.

Movie Grip Equipment

Libec Jib

Polecam

DJI Ronin

Motorised Slider

Libec Jib

A jib is used to provide controlled, moving elevated shots.

Commonly the range of motion will be fairly subtle, but the elegant nature of such a shot greatly adds production value to a shot or video as a whole.

Polecam

With a 30ft reach, the Polecam is fast to set up and is able to provide large controlled camera movements.

It is also great for ‘faking’ aerial drone shots where flight is not possible or permitted.

DJI Ronin

The DJI Ronin allows the camera operator to walk whilst filming with the camera.

Because of its electronic stabilisation gimbal motors it removes any wobble or shake, resulting in a perfectly smooth moving shot.

Motorised Slider

In scenes where there is no movement, our motorised slider moves the camera in a controlled fashion.

The result is that any static scene or interview can have subtle, yet a nicely engaging change of perspective.
