Lighter option

Interviews and b-roll? The Docu DP Day is the smaller footprint.

Documentary-style days that don't need as much G&E. Lighting still included, but I would only be a solo operator. Gimbal, drone, and interview sound included.

…having him behind the camera gives me a level of confidence regardless of the client, the scale of the production, or the challenges of the project.

Flying in to shoot Atlanta?

Wet-hire for out-of-town producers: traveling for shoots is not easy. Fly with just your essentials, and I'll bring the heavy stuff.

Send the dates. You'll hear back today.

Same-day answer, usually within the hour. You get me, not a coordinator.

Me as your DP with a dedicated gaffer: the full camera package, full grip and electric (G&E), and interview sound (sit-down interviews, up to two mics). The Full Crew Day works this same load with a mixer and a grip added.
