Camera Operator Bristol — Questions

Common questions about booking a camera operator for Bristol shoots.

Do you work as a freelance camera operator on agency shoots in Bristol?

Yes. I regularly work as camera operator on agency and production company shoots across Bristol — under the director's brief, delivering clean rushes to their post workflow. I bring my own cinema camera package so there's no separate kit hire.

What camera package do you bring to Bristol shoots?

URSA 12K as primary, BMPCC 6K as B-camera, Sony A7 IV for stills. Full cinema prime glass and Aperture lighting package. All included in the £995 day rate — no add-ons.

How far in advance should I book?

For confirmed dates, a week's notice is usually fine. For tentative holds, get in touch as early as possible — I'll pencil the date and confirm when you're ready.

Can you also operate drone on the same shoot day?

Yes. I carry a CAA-licensed Mavic 4 Pro, sub-250g drone, and two FPV rigs. Aerial can slot into any ground camera day — no need to book a separate drone operator.
