COVID-19 SAFETY + REMOTE WORKFLOWS

COVID-19 safety + Remote workflows

Monitor Set From Home

Remotely monitor the camera feed from your home or office. All you need is an internet connection.

Stay Connected

If directing remotely, you can still be next to the lens for the best possible eyeline.

Contactless Filming

Each shoot is unique, and I’d be happy to work out a custom solution for your project.

On Set Remote Control

While on location, I can be in another room or even outside with full camera monitoring and control.

The Coronavirus has changed the way we work. I’ve been working with a collective of cinematographers called Microcrews to work out solutions to safely and responsibly work during a pandemic. Sets are going to be smaller, we’ll all be wearing masks, and we have to rethink some things that used to be simple. As an experienced documentary DP, I’m comfortable working with small crews adapting to changing circumstances.

Less people are going to be on set, but they can still be involved. I own and have thoroughly tested a complete remote monitoring setup to keep everyone connected. The remote monitoring works off wifi and/or cell data to stream an encrypted, high-quality, low-latency camera feed to anyone with an internet connection around the world. If you or your client can’t safely make it to set, you can still monitor and give notes in real time from the safety of your home/office.

The less hands that touch the gear, the better. In addition to remote monitoring, I own and can provide full equipment packages. Using personal gear reduces the number of people needed to pickup/drop-off/transport the gear and also ensures that it is clean and customized for the shoot. Some select gear includes: Arri Amira, Canon C300MKii, AAton XTR-PROD S16mm, Zeiss Contax Primes, Dana Dolly, Ronin 2, LED Lighting kits, etc.
