    Claire joins us from the world of studio bookings and with the one key goal, to keep Ian and Douglas in check with all things paperwork !  To quote Claire on her first day “it’s a dream job to work for Camera Revolution, especially working alongside such great people as Ian and Douglas” … well if she didn’t say it we are sure she was thinking it !

  • Barnaby
    Barnaby Workshop Manager

    Every bit of kit that comes back broken ends up on Barnaby’s desk. He also spends days making cables and brackets to mount everything from a Preston to our new sink.

  • Dave Hideg
    Dave Hideg In House Tech

    When he has the allen key between his teeth no one can stop him. More organised than a Filofax, ready to pounce on a messy crane loom at any moment.

  • Chris Dawson
    Chris Dawson In House Tech

    From Libra Heads to Maxima Heads, Chris is learning them all. Chris has almost completed his 2 year in house training programme so it wont be long until he is let free.

  • Rob Portazier
    Rob Portazier Freelance Tech

    Rob is Mr. Fixit. Like a modern day ‘Macgyver’ Rob is usually found with some piece of kit in pieces and manages to put them back where he found them.
    Also found on set as a tech and loves working in mud.

  • Sean Rogers
    Sean Rogers Freelance Tech

    Old hat at all this now, everyone likes Sean. Except for the fact he always seems to get the nice foreign location jobs … we don’t like him for that.

  • Josh Milne
    Josh Milne In House Tech

    AKA Chris Griffin. If you need a cable tie Josh is your man … rumoured to have more cables ties than RS Components!

  • Clive Williams
    Clive Williams Freelance Tech

    Our in house dare devil … If he’s not out on set, he’s out with his GoPro on his mountain bike or skate board.

  • Connor Penfold
    Connor Penfold Freelance Tech

    Bringing a certain je n’ais se quoi to a Grip Department … Impeccably dressed, well manicured and slightly scented.

  • Mario Spanna
    Mario Spanna Freelance Tech

    Mazza started in the video dept back in the 90’s but quickly realised the fun he was missing out on so became a Libra tech.
    He is still having oodles of fun with heads and has a few stories from the years to entertain you.

  • Dave Tulett
    Dave Tulett Freelance Tech

    Double ‘0’ Dave, Dangerous Dave, Angry Dave. These all sum him up. James Bond couldn’t break him and no body makes him angry and lives to tell.

  • Gareth Viner
    Gareth Viner Freelance Tech

    Gareth bounces between Cape Town and London as a Libra tech.
    He seems to time it so he does commercial season in SA through the UK winter and then comes to the UK for our summer of features.
    Not a bad life.

  • Neil Tomlin
    Neil Tomlin AKA Munkeh

    …enough said, you know him already!

  • Michele Puricelli
    Michele Puricelli Freelance Tech

    Comes to us from working with plenty of other heads and in his Italian passionate way has chosen Libra for the style, sophistication and, I think, the shiny finish.

  • Alex Pugh
    Alex Pugh Freelance Tech

    After years of working with cranes and other heads. I think he just prefers the curves of the Libra. And the fact he gets to sit down and not lift the crane weights.

  • Arran Shearing
    Arran Shearing Freelance Tech

    In a chance meeting at Simpco Camera Support, the Canadian Libra Head Agent, a young Arran Shearing said hello. Cut to 6 months later and he’s swapped the snow covered Vancouver mountains for rolling sand dunes in in the Jordanian dessert on a certain space themed ​film, what a guy!

  • Matt McCarthy
    Matt McCarthy Freelance Tech

    Joining us from CineMoves Matt brings a wealth of stabilisation and remote head knowledge. Matt also lives on a boat so he fits in very well with most of the In House Tech team.

  • Ben Martin
    Ben Martin Freelance Tech

    After 20 years with Arri Rental Ben felt it was time for a change … we are sure joining us had nothing to do with the fact he can walk to work in less than 5 minutes ! Learning the Libra ropes, Ben will be appearing again on set soon.
