Gear and Expertise

I am a certified part 107 commercial Drone pilot and am intimately familiar with DJI drone systems.

​

I have regularly used Sony, Red, Arri and Blackmagic camera systems on and off of gimbals, steadicams, easy rigs, shoulder rigs, dollies, car mounts and lots of other strange rigs.

​

I am completely self-sufficient at focus-pulling for myself and do not need an AC to pull if I have direct manual control (Small Gimbals, Easyrig, Handheld).  I would need an AC for large gimbals or Steadicam work.  

​

I am familiar with a wide variety of ENG Cinezoom lenses, Modern and Vintage Prime lenses, Still Photography lenses and probe and tilt-shift lenses.

​

I am intimately familiar with building cameras on DJI and Freely gimbal systems as well as balancing methods required to use heavier glass like anamorphic lenses.

​

I have an in-depth understanding of lighting technique, lighting systems, support and methods for nearly any kind of situation.  I have lit countless sets, interviews, b-roll setups and mobile shoots with a wide variety of aesthetics and enjoy using the pre-production process to establish and solidify the right motivation for a project.  I am confident that I can also deliver a fantastic product without extensive preparation.

​

I have had years of directing experience working with professional and amateur talent, and am happy to take more of a direct role with talent for run-and-gun shoots where efficiency and small crew size are paramount.
