Ian Speed The Big Cheese
Ian is the Big Cheese at Camera Revolution, usually found in his big chair stroking a white cat. Started tech’ing back in Libra II days and somehow still going.
Most memorable job was “World is not Enough” High speed boat chase up the Thames. Can still be found on set from time to time. -
Claire James Office Administrator
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 !

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 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.

Mihai Negoita In House Tech
Mihai joins us from Rocksolid Remotes, the Libra Agent in South African. Mihai popped over to help out last year when things where really busy, he loved it so much that he rented a boat to live on and quickly became part of the team!

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 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 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 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 Freelance Tech
Bringing a certain je n’ais se quoi to a Grip Department … Impeccably dressed, well manicured and slightly scented.
-
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 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 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 AKA Munkeh
…enough said, you know him already!
-
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 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 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 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 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.
