Some of my equipment
Red Weapon 6k Dragon Carbon Fibre
Designed for the purpose of capturing Hollywood blockbusters. This camera revolutionised the film industry completely capturing films such as The Hobbit! Capturing images up to 6K means no matter what the production you are guaranteed the best quality available.
Sony FX3
Sony's latest piece of kit suitable as an A Cam or B Cam for film and corporate work, shooting great 4k footage at 10bit 4:2:2 and 16bit RAW Out into an Atomos V Recorder.
Sony F3
This HD camera is truly top of the tree! Exporting full 10 bit s-log 4:4:4 video to our top of the range AKA video recorder, there is not much else that comes close to the quality of this little baby!
DJI Remote Focus
A useful quality piece of kit essential for those tricky narrative film jobs!

Sound Devices Mixer & Rode NTG-3 Shotgun microphone.
Good pictures are useless unless you have top notch audio! We can capture straight to camera but for better quality we use Rode NTG 3 microphones into Sound Devices pre-amps for world class audio. From here the audio is recorded to a Fostex recorder, the upshot, the best quality audio you can get!
Lighting
When it comes to lighting there is only one brand to rely on and thats Arri! The standard in professional lighting! Ranging from 1.2k HMI down to 150w, coupled with a range of top quality professional LED panels, light tubes, again we have it covered!
Editing
Post production also utilises the latest in top end equipment. For mobile editing we use Final Cut Pro X on an Apple MacBook Pro, but when in the office it's all steam ahead on the latest Apple Mac powerhouse hooked up to 4k monitors.
