Lighting Cameraman Hire Rates

I will personally endeavour to shoot your production but if I'm busy on another project then I can call upon a handpicked database of quality experienced freelance crew that will undertake the filming of your project. Through experience it will be better to contact me for a quote for your production, I'm very competitive and deals can be done on long running projects, for the price you are guaranteed a quality product shot well, creatively with well-maintained top of the range equipment.

As a guide prices start from £750 per day for a 2-man crew shooting on DV Cam, £800 for Digi Beta and £1200 for a 2-man crew shooting in High Definition.

Things to consider when planning a shoot:

High Definition or Standard Def?

High Definition gives 4 times better resolution than standard def so the pictures quality is far superior unfortunately the price of HD is more per day that standard def.

Digi Beta or DV cam?

Digital Betacam is a far superior format to DV Cam. The picture quality is a lot better and as a choice I would always recommend producers to use Digi Beta over DV Cam for all standard definition applications.

Do I need to get in additional lighting or additional equipment for the shoot?

Please contact me to discuss your requirements, I will suggest the best way to shoot your production in a way that keep's you within budget. If you want to add some flare to the production with the use of jib arms, track, additional lighting then I can suggest the best way to forward with your ideas.
