On the moveOne operator who moves with the action
One operator, handheld, shotgun on the camera, available light. Social content, walkthroughs, small events. Add the interview setup for a sit-down.
The roaming camera for a gala or conference: boom plus one wireless kit into XLR, timecode locked to the locked-off angles and the board feed.
Built to move. Boom on the camera for scratch, up to three wireless mics, on-camera LED, sticks and shoulder rig.
Sit-down interviewsLit, locked off, and built to cut
One locked angle, lit: 600W key through an octobox, background wash, boom and two lavs, timecode. Add the a7 IV on the gimbal.
Two angles on one subject with the full interview lighting and sound package. Put the B-cam on the gimbal.
Panels, roundtables, and sit-downs that have to cut like TV. Two matched rental bodies join my two, with a 2nd camera / AC. Quoted against that week's rental rates.
Hiring a Boston videographer Questions
Shot and cut for HBO, NBC Sports Boston, NESN, Hearst, the MFA Boston, and Boston University.
How much does it cost to hire a freelance videographer in Boston?
Every job is quoted to what it actually needs: the package, the hours, any crew, travel, and the edit. Send me the dates, the place, and what you're making and I'll send an exact quote within a business day. A 50% retainer holds the date.
What kinds of video projects do you take on?
Documentaries, TV spots, brand films, live events, and campus and nonprofit films, plus photography on the Sony a7 IV. Credits include HBO, MTV, NBC Sports Boston, the MFA Boston, and Boston University.
Do you work outside of Boston?
Yes. Greater Boston and the North Shore cost nothing extra; New England and New York are quoted with the travel, and so is anywhere further.
What camera and lighting gear do you bring?
Up to three cameras on one shoot: Sony FX9, Panasonic EVA1, and Sony a7 IV, with a Canon C300 Mark II in the kit as well. Sony 28-135 servo zoom and B4 broadcast glass, wireless video feeds, a full lighting and grip kit, a Zhiyun Crane 3S gimbal package as an add-on, and professional audio. Post-production runs on a Mac Studio edit suite. The complete list is on the kit and gear page.
Do you handle editing and post-production?
Yes. I cut, color, mix, and build the graphics in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and every edit includes one round of revisions. Or I hand your team organized raw footage.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks of lead time is comfortable for most projects. Your date is secured with a 50% retainer, due at signing or one month before filming, whichever comes first, and the crew locks in one week before the shoot. On a tight timeline? Reach out anyway and I'll tell you honestly what's possible.
Are you available as a sound operator?
Yes. I take freelance sound work on its own: boom, lavs, and location mix. Recent days include Winslow Homer for the MFA Boston, NESN's Summer Stroll, and World Cup at Clery's.
Do you shoot solo or with a crew?
Both. Interviews and small shoots I often run solo, which keeps the budget lean. Bigger days get a gaffer, sound op, and second camera I've worked with for years, each itemized.
