Great day shooting in Cheshire with the A team🎥

Great day shooting in Cheshire with the A team🎥 4 cameras & 4 action cams for new sports piece. Multicam, movement and coverage all dialled in. #DOP #DirectorOfPhotography #SportsContent #TomorrowsCreative #NationalProductionPartner

The setup. The shot. A recent multicam interview

The setup. The shot. A recent multicam interview setup in an industrial space — creating a clean, controlled frame inside a big open environment. Lighting, composition, eyeline and sound all dialled in to make the interview feel polished on screen. This is the part I enjoy most: shaping the frame, refining the light, and making sure the setup serves the story. #DOP #DirectorOfPhotography #LightingCameraman #InterviewLighting #InterviewSetup #BehindTheScenes #Cinematography #SonyFX9 #SonyFX3 #UKProduction #VideoProductionUK #Filmmaking #TomorrowsCreative

On location in Middlesbrough today — day 2 on a new promo video. Grabbed some great aerials on the DJI Mini Pro and the Rock’n’roller in the smaller setup worked a treat. Always good adding new tools to the arsenal. #CameraKit #DJIMiniPro #RocknRoller #SonyFX9 #LightingCameraman
