HIRE CHRIS

The Tools

While each project and budget will determine the creative need and use of gear, we have several cameras available for every budget. These include, but are not limited to, the RED dragon, Sony FX6, FS7, F5, Sony A7rii, A7sii, Canon 5D / 7D, and DJI Drones.

High quality sound recording equipment and lighting gear is also available. Anything can be brought in to fit the project and scope.

Need cinematic movement to enhance the story? Then consider the Freelfly MoVI or DJI Ronin. Sliders, small jibs and motion control can also be added to any shooting package.

4K and beyond

Nothing is future proof and many projects rely on the most basic of tools for storytelling. Either way, we will always use the best tool for the job.

Sound Ideas

I work with a fantastic group of voice artists and agencies. Finding the right sound is key to a pitch perfect story.

Strategy and Social

With every project, I look not only how best to tell the story, but also how best to communicate it.

Editorial and Design

Many of my projects are produced from beginning to end. A full, hands on approach is taken on every project. Collaboration and communication are at the core.
