“Camera operating is not a craft that you can just learn, you have to be born with the ability to feel the shot and make it seamless.  You have to understand story telling and know when and how to move the camera.  There is nothing more beautiful than a perfectly operated shot.  A shot that you never see start or the finish of the move, and some how, it just got there.”

Don Burgess ASC

“When I hire an operator, I tend to take on the person before the position. That is to say, I believe the individual brings to the job a unique alchemy that establishes the tone for the set. 

While here I have found that the operators I have worked with are true artists, true masters of their craft and true friends. These people have a joy for the process of making films that is contagious and it reminds me why I love this business so much.”
