Equipment

Red Cameras

We have two state-of-the-art Red Cameras, which shoot uncompressed 4K images and are becoming the hot new camera in Hollywood films. "Che", directed by Steven Soderburg and starring Benicio Del Toro was shot on a Red Camera. Peter Jackson, director of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "King Kong" shoots with a Red Camera, and James Cameron, director of Oscar-winning "Titanic" and many other great films, also uses a Red Camera.

Panasonic HVX200 Cameras

We have 12 professional Panasonic HVX200 Hi-Def cameras, like the ones used to film parts of "Cloverfield." These cameras shoot on P2 cards, eliminating the need for video tapes. We also have Cartonni tripods that go out with these cameras. Our Cartonni tripods give you the ability to create great smooth panning shots. If you want to move the camera, we've got fig-rigs, designed by Mike Figgis, director of "Leaving Las Vegas".
