remarks
Since I am a freelance film maker I have all my own equipment, and if there is something needed that I don't have I can always make it. I have multiple cameras: ranging from DSLRs to the new Black Magic Ursa Mini 4K camera but, with just cameras you can't make a film. I've got a selection of new and vintage lenses, as well as all the extra equipment you'll need to make any shot you want, like my own steadyecam with wireless follow focus. .
