About Me

I'm Ben, a 27 year old Focus Puller based in the West Midlands. I started out as a camera trainee over 10 years ago, and have since worked my way through the camera department. I now have several years of 1st AC experience in Cinema-released Features, HETV Drama, TV Commercials for large brands such as Adidas, Rolls Royce, Stella Artois, Yorkshire Tea, Subway, and a whole load more, as well as a whole bunch of music video credits for top artists (Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender, James Blunt, etc!). I'm comfortable with any camera system that can be thrown my way, and i've had the pleasure of working with practically every setup/ rig out there - not limited to:

  • Steadicam, Trinity and AR rigs
  • Ronin, Movi and SRH-360 Gimbal heads
  • Tracking vehicles, Russian Arm/ U-Cranes, Low-Loaders, A-Frames and Black Arms
  • Motion control Bolt and Milo rigs
  • a whole load more!

I own a bunch of my own kit (Arri Hi-5, 4k Teradeks, Magliners, Matteboxes, Monitors, etc), whilst also having brilliant relationships with several rental houses, allowing me to always source the necessary kit packages (and almost always with some great deals!). I'm super keen to work local and alongside the great crews that Birmingham has to offer, and I've personally had the pleasure of working with most of the great local crew myself, so I can always advise on the best names to bring a production together.

I do also have a full clean license, and a car that can transport myself and my kit to jobs that are further afield!

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or queries!

-Ben.
