Do I have a Camera Crew for larger scale productions?

Our crews are scalable from 2 people or larger for video, film, television, ENG/SNG or any type of EFP or live broadcast need. We can also refer production trucks to you for uplinks or live shots. Aside from the typical roles each camera crew has in expertise; from either sound, lighting, directing, production assistance, digital imaging or data wrangling our crew members are diverse to multitask assisting in other aspects of the production.

My camera crew members include all the expertise for any type of production

• Location scouting services
• Makeup artists
• Teleprompter operators
• Production assistants - aka PA
