I built and operated the camera systems (BMPCC 6K with Xeen lenses) for handheld, gimbal (DJI RS2) with Easyrig, and sticks shots; worked with the director and gaffer to plan, frame, and execute compound movements with the gimbal in confined spaces; worked with actors and grips to block and move diffusion rigs outdoors during moving shots; executed running and tracking shots on gimbal.
Summary
Raleigh-based Camera Operator/DP. I specialize in gimbal operation for commercial filmmaking. An Army infantry veteran with all-day energy, I can get it done solo or as a team player!
