Getting the perfect shot of a person speaking at a live event isn't always easy . . . but we make it look like it was. You have found true experts in capturing on film or video a person speaking: we have the video theory (undergraduate, graduate, and adjunct professor), the video experience (decades of film, television and digital shoots), and the satisfied clients to prove it. Oh, and we've also won more than one hundred national awards since we began doing this.

We know how to frame a shot, the right lens to use, how to light the person, where to position a camera, the proper microphone techniques to use in a live environment, which mic will work best, back-up audio plans for transmission glitches in unknown environments, and how to keep a focus on someone who insists on wandering back and forth on a stage.

The SONY FX9 features a 15-stop dynamic range, supports dynamic HDR, hybrid log gamma mode (HLG), and records 10-bit 4:2:2 to dual XQD media card slots that support simultaneous and relay recording, as well as multiple backup recording modes that utilize proxy files. The camera can record UHD (3840 x 2160) and HD (1920 x 1080) internally at a selectable frame rate from 1 fps up to 60 fps in XAVC-I, XAVC-Long, and MPEG HD formats. Its 7-stop electronic variable ND filter can perform in auto or manual mode, smoothly adjusting from 1/4 to 1/128 density. The camera's default S-Cinetone color look offers the same soft, vivid tone as with Sony's VENICE camera.

This camera setup is perfect for commercials, high-end network cinematography for broadcast television, features, or special effects work. It does well with high-end greenscreen shots and slow-motion cinematography.

Our gyro-stabilized rig offers the lush feel of floating through the air. The rig comes complete with remote control for full regulation of the gimbal and servo motors (pan, tilt, roll). It is Bluetooth enabled and communicates wirelessly with an iPhone or Android app. It also features on-board power taps for camera power and USB.
