John has worked with big rigs for almost 15 years, during which time he has operated Steadicam on everything from high budget feature films, broadcast TV, documentaries, & independent movies, to news, corporate films, commercials and music videos. John also instructs the National Film & Television School Steadicam Course and has close ties with the official Steadicam manufacturer, Tiffen. John knows many top film & TV professionals nearby & can supply a whole crew if needed. He’s worked with famous Steadicam Operators, presenters, and actors, so is used to giving the best results whatever the job, in or out of London.

With a degree in Film & TV Production from Bournemouth University, and over a decade’s experience operating Steadicam in almost every production environment, John is the ideal person to advise you on Steadicam use for whatever shots you may think of using it –  & many you haven’t!

Documentary Crews – Steadicam can precede a presenter almost anywhere!
Short Film Makers – Steadicam adds Hollywood production value easily!
Feature Producers – Steadicam costs less than loads of tracking & grips!
Music Video – Steadicam gives precise, dynamic shots nothing else can!
