GEAR
My camera of choice at the moment is the Arri Amira. I love the Arri range of cameras. They capture the true colour of a skin tone so beautifully and are so intuitive to operate. I can’t find another camera brand quite like them.
AMIRA (Premium Version) features the same sensor and exceptional image quality as the ARRI ALEXA, recording superior HD 1080 or 2K pictures that are suitable for any distribution format. UHD 4K is also now available along with installation of the Arri Look Library.
With a dynamic range of more than 14 stops, low noise levels, subtle highlight handling, natural colour rendering, breathtaking skin tones and speeds of up to 200 fps (60fps at 4K UHD), AMIRA will deliver beautiful, life-like images in any situation, perfect for documentary and film drama.
Collecting the right gadget for the right job has always been a bit of a geeky pleasure of mine. I carry enough kit onboard the van that I’m able to fully facilitate most specialist factual productions and modest drama documentaries independently from the rental house and I take pride in offering the most attractive kit hire rates possible.
