I own the equipment listed and look after it with loving care. It‘s
checked and tested before and after every job and transported in custom
waterproof shipping cases that go anywhere on earth safely. As an
owner/operator I can put together a package for any job that is very
cost effective. Top shelf nature production involves every imaginable
photographic technique and tool; including studio, long lens,
periscope, borescope, marco/micro, underwater, time-lapse,
high-speed/slow motion, computerized motion control, cablecam,
steadicam, and infrared. Indeed, as you’ll see listed below I own many
of the tools needed to deliver this specialized cinematography. If you
want to shoot on HD or another video format no problem I can help
source the best gear for your job. I rent out gear like the cablecam,
rigging, Heller tilt wedge, lightweight jib, fiber optics, miniature
focus slides & numerous widgets to get the job done. Contact me in

A note on 3 Perf 35mm: These days with so many origination formats
it's producers choice. It’s not uncommon to shoot 16mm, 35mm, HD or
other video formats dependent on delivery requirements. 35mm is still
the top format offering superior resolution and colour depth compared
to 16mm or HD. The image quality is absolutely outstanding producing
brilliant, glorious pictures with exceptional detail. When transferred
to High Definition Super 35mm will knock you out. 3 Perf simply refers
to the camera movement that advances a new frame every 3 perforations
instead of the normal 4. The dimensions of 3 Perf fit 16x9 wide screen
TV perfectly, with no negative waste the format saves 25% on stock and
processing. 3 Perf 35mm adds about 8% cost to the overall budget making
it only slightly more expensive than 16mm. The format is great for
shots with detail and scope like landscapes - reveals of vistas really
snap. It is also the format of choice for graphics, keying and motion
control multiple pass plate work. It's not for every job but it's a
logical option for international TV distribution, theatre projection,
and HD origination when the best picture quality is required. To learn
