Tampa cinematographer
Director of photography, camera operator and colorist for documentary, interview and brand work in Tampa Bay.
Working with you
Send the treatment or the brief. Before the day we send back a lighting and camera plan, a shot list and a kit list, and on set we work to your call sheet.
We can run camera as director of photography or operate under yours. In post we grade in DaVinci Resolve, from your edit or ours.
How it is shot
Interviews are lit from one side, and the subject talks to a person beside the camera, not to the lens.
Around the interview we film the work as it happens, and the objects in the room as subjects of their own.
The kit
- DJI Ronin 4D and Nikon ZR cameras
- Thypoch Simera-C matched cine primes
- Laowa 24mm probe lens for close process detail
- 32-bit float field recorders on timecode
The grade
Every film is graded by hand in DaVinci Resolve, with a print-film look built for that project rather than a preset. Graded masters are delivered as ProRes 422 HQ with an H.264 review file.
Formats
Masters are 16:9, with 2.39:1 framing when the project calls for it. Vertical versions are framed and delivered 9:16.
For a business that wants a whole film made, see Tampa video production. For a shoot day or crew, see Tampa videographer.
Frames
Stills pulled straight from the footage.
