I mentioned it a few times in the videos and reviews, but didn’t get to make an official post about the subject, so here it goes.
A few months ago me and my friend Rob Bannister partnered up combining our arsenal of unusual gear (my anamorphics, russian primes and zeiss set, his anamorphics, Dog Schidt Optiks and Kinemini, plus a lot of smaller gear from the both of us) into this gear-renting enterprised named Creative Camera Rentals. Our goal is to reach the people who got bored of shooting Canon L or super clean and sharp and clinical footage and want to add some character that can only be achieved optically. Add that uniqueness to the look of your project, that Hollywood touch without the Hollywood budget.
I reckon this might interest quite a bunch of film students and independent filmmakers out there as I was interested myself and would’ve loved to find a rental place like this while I went through film school. We’re running a small operation, just the two of us, our offices are our homes and we haven’t started advertising anything yet except a few posts on facebook, close friends and the random people that talk to us on the streets with curious looks about the weirdness of the gear in our hands.
So like us on Facebook, share it with friends that might be into this kind of crazy and drop a line if you’re interested or curious about anything!
