Professional Filming

Camera Equipment

• 4k CINEMA CAMERAS

  We use the latest cinema grade digital film cameras. We currently work with the Black Magic Pocket and Ursa Mini 4k cameras which deliver stunning visuals which can be fully colour graded in post.

• SLOW MOTION

  We’re able to shoot footage in full HD at up to 120 frames per second to create stunning slow mo footage. Delivering fantastic engaging visuals. This can then be ramped up and down in the edit.

• OPTICS

  We have a range of fantastic Nikon and Canon mount lenses. Which enable us to select the perfect lens for every shot and maximise our high end cameras abilities. The Sigma 18 to 35mm being one of our favourites

• FILM FORMATS

  When filming we record in either a ProRes or RAW formats depending on the post production schedule and amount of filming. Both deliver a stunning image whilst RAW brings more control when colour grading in the edit suite.

SOUND EQUIPMENT

• AUDIO QUALITY

  We know how important perfect sound is to any video production. That’s why we use professional grade mics, recorders and monitors.

• MICROPHONES

  Stormy Studio empty state of the art microphones like the Rode NDG3 to ensure the audio on the simplest talking head or filmed narrative is always crystal clear.

• BOOM & RADIO

  We use boom poles to get our microphones as close as possible to the subject without interfering with the shot. Plus when needed we’ll use radio lapel mics to capture a presenter or interviewee as a 2nd audio track.

• RECORDING SOUND

  Stormy studio will normally record multiple audio tracks directly to a external recorder (i.e. our Zoom h4) using industry grade XLR cables. Plus record a backup directly on the camera.

FILM CREW

• PROFESSIONAL CREW

  Great sound and camera kit is all but worthless without a fantastic production team. Stormy studio will provide a team tailored for a given projects size, complexity and budget.

• DIRECTOR

  The Director will be responsible for the style of video. They’ll direct actors and work with the full production team. They have a sound knowledge of all areas of the production from creative concept to edit and colour grade.

• DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

  A Director of Photography will ensure the perfect film camera and lens is selected for the needed shot. They have a thorough knowledge of camera setups, lighting, lenses, mounts and framing.

• Camera Man

  The cameraman ensures the framing, shutter speeds, ISO setting and all things ‘camera’ are setup perfectly for the video production. They’ll work hand in hand with the sound op and Director.

• Sound Op

  A sound operator will setup and monitor the audio being captured throughout a recording. Other than the director they’re the only other person who can shout ‘cut’ on set. They have a high end knowledge of all things sound.

• Camera assistant

  We’ll often have a number of camera assistants. Either working as a ‘grip’ to help rig lighting and film kit, focus puller or simply a runner who can be on hand to transfer media and prepare lenses and filters.
