When you request me for camera operation with a camera, the following equipment is available to use as
standard... For practical reasons, not all of it may be transported to the shoot (it would be a bit OTT
taking a jib to record a standard talking head for example), but any necessary kit needs can be discussed
prior to filming - and if you wanted a jib shot to swing down on your interviewee - you've got one!
