Questions we get asked

Why book crew through a studio?

Because the crew and the building already work together. A gaffer who knows the grid saves an hour of rigging. A sound recordist who knows the room saves the edit. And you get one invoice instead of five.

Can your crew work at our location?

Yes. Crew book for studio days, location days or both. Travel from PO18 is costed transparently on the quote.

Are your crew insured?

All crew booked through the studio carry public liability insurance, and we can provide documentation for your production insurance.

What does crew hire cost?

Indicative day rates: sparks from £350, camera operators and gaffers from £450, sound recordists from £495, directors of photography from £575, directors from £750. Every job is quoted before you commit.
