YELLOW RIVER EXPEDITION
Me and my Varicam, shooting yaks in Tibet, Jan 2010
TRIVIA
My favourite equipment brands are Canon, Panasonic & Vinten

My favourite country to shoot in is China

I'm a TV addict

I am a bit disorganised

I've had two life-threatening experiences whilst filming: 1/ crashing into an electricity pylon in a balloon, 2/ getting lost in a blizzard in Tibet

HELLO...
The excellent Panasonic Varicam HPX2700 P2 HD camera, with Canon HJ14ex4.3 wide angle lens - a great combination, creating beautiful filmic HD images.
For projects on a tight budget, I have two great alternatives: the Canon XF300 HD camera and XH-G1 HDV/DV camera.
For stills photography, I have a Canon 5DmkII & 7D kit, with a good range of lenses (they also shoot HD video).
I also have some great accessories - including PIX240 external HD recorder, Hollywood Microdolly and Jib, and a lovely selection of lights, together with a decent sound kit as well.
For more info on my kit, click here.
I am also an Avid & Final Cut Pro editor, with my own Final Cut edit suite.
