Technical and Operational Info
CAMERAS
We primarily use Sony camera equipment, enabling us to capture high-quality footage for your projects. Our standard shooting specifications include:
- Resolution: 4K (3840x2160 pixels) with the flexibility to shoot in either PAL or NTSC formats as needed.
- Frame rate: Up to 120 fps, allowing for smooth and dynamic visuals.
- Picture profile: We often utilise log profiles such as s-log2 or s-log3, ensuring greater latitude for colour grading and post-production adjustments.
LIGHTING
Our lighting equipment included with our standard services comprises a combination of mid-power lights ranging from 100 to 300W.
- In setups involving lighting, we bring at least three lights to ensure optimal coverage.
- Our key lights are bi-color, offering the flexibility to control colour temperature in various shooting scenarios.

AUDIO
For projects involving audio capture, careful consideration is essential to ensure optimal results when recording various audio sources.
- Lapel Radio Mics: Whenever possible, we prefer to work with lapel radio microphones. These mics allow us to capture speakers' voices directly while minimising background noise. This ensures clear and focused audio.
- Boom Mics, ambiance mics and recorders: versatile tools that can capture targeted audio or the overall atmosphere of the scene.
WE ARE PREPARED
To guarantee a seamless production experience, we prioritise preparedness with a comprehensive backup plan. Though we cannot eliminate equipment failure entirely, we take every precaution to minimise disruptions during filming.
- Duplicate Equipment: For each shoot, we bring more equipment than necessary, like a second camera on standby as a backup.
- Redundant Audio Sources: we capture audio from multiple sources using various microphones.
