We know that you have high expectations for your project to put together a premium-quality piece. You need the industry expertise, the cutting-edge equipment and a team of skilled professionals.

You need the best team available.

There are only a handful of teams in North America that have the skill and expertise to operate our gear in a way that gets the shots you want, and we’re one of them.

Our highly-trained staff of professional technicians, drivers, and operators have traveled the globe delivering that kind of exceptional work for our clients, always providing unparalleled mastery to ensure your next project exceeds expectations.

We believe in being much more than just a gear rental house. We want to extend our relationship with our clients, becoming the creative problem solver and production ally you’ve always wanted to work with.

But enough about us, let’s take a closer look into this question of having the right group of professionals at your disposal…

Why is a Highly-Trained Production Team a Must?

Simply put, you need a highly-trained film production team that can breathe life into your vision and deliver the world-class product that you demand and deserve.

More specifically, four things: productions need a camera team that focuses on safety, simplicity, time, and money.

While safety hasn't always been one of the main concerns on set in today's world, it's always been number one on our priority list. First, you want to run things safely for your cast and crew because, well, you’re a human being who cares for your people. But there’s also the budgetary and legal aspects. A lack of safety in any part of production can be a costly and heart-wrenching mistake to deal with.

Next, we guess that you don’t want any unnecessary hassles. You’ve got enough on your plate already. The simplicity of a well-run production is essential. Wouldn’t it be nice to bring in a team of pros who focus on delivering what you want, how you want it, and who bring creative solutions to problems you’re facing?

The old saying is true; time is money. And it’s especially true in video and film production. Getting the right shot is extremely important, but your team also needs to do it efficiently. 

Things like detailed shot list planning, having the correct gear for the job, and advanced location scouting are critical in keeping a job on schedule, on budget and relatively stress-free. The devil is in the details.

And then, the big one … money. This is not only an issue of time, but one of getting your money’s worth. A world-class team hired at a competitive price that is passionate about delivering on all of their promises (and more) is worth their weight in gold.

The right team can – and should – bring all of this to your project.

What Today’s Market Demands

Like it or not, we’re all competing in a global market where audiences have access to the entire history of entertainment and education at the click of a link.

A little daunting for anyone creating video or film right now, no doubt.

One of the best ways to ensure you produce a product that can compete in this environment is to hire a cinematic team that can deliver.

Audiences today want absolute excellence in storytelling, and that’s what we aim to do with all of our jobs, regardless of the price point.

And here’s a little secret, you don’t need a massive budget to create something incredible.

Getting the shots you want is attainable for your project, even if you don’t think it might be. We can meet, go over your shot list and budget and find a way to make it work.

How We Accomplish Excellence on the Set

We’ll write more on our shooting process at another time, but in short...we accomplish excellence through a team of outstanding professionals using superior equipment to its fullest capability.

Only a handful of companies in North America have the equipment and team capable of getting the shots we can. And there are some great ones out there doing exceptional work, but we believe we can compete in this elite space.

One area we focus on differentiation ourselves is the calm, cool demeanor we bring on set with us. We turn the creativity dial all the way up and the stress dial all the way down. We want to be a source of solutions and energy.

Our team brings a friendly atmosphere along with our hard work to every production set. We go with the flow and can pivot quickly as situations and opportunities arise. This type of work is often unpredictable, and it’s in these moments when we’re at our very best. 

We’re the crazy ones that believe work should be fun.

Our culture is 100% relationship-driven. We’re not looking for contracts only. We’re looking for creative partners we can win with.

So, who are we and what do each of us do? Glad you asked.
