Whether a procedural - such as this show - or buddy comedy, knowing how to shoot the right kind of plates is extremely important, and can definitely help with the tone of the show.

Some of these plates were shot in the tundra of , yet our specialty rig survived the bitter cold to get the exact plates desired by production. We learned a lot and have even more tools to help you navigate the plate business.

Shooting night plates is much more complicated than simply slapping some cameras on a car, and with all the knowledge we’ve gained over the years, we are confident that we shoot them best!

There’s a reason we shoot with the cameras and lenses we do, and why we work so closely with to ensure that the technology advancements will match the client needs.

There has been a lot of R&D to get our rig to where it is now, and we’re always on the front lines to see where we can make it better for you and your shoot.

With and nominations, we are certainly proud to have helped bring this film to life.

With a prolific, sensitive subject, every part of this film was handled with extreme care, including the custom shot provided by our team.

Even though plates may seem like a small factor in a production, they are integral to a completed scene, which goes to show that no role in any film is small or insignificant.

Seeing double?! That’s the joy of array work - multiple cameras are involved! But often times we are seeing more than double, usually 9+!

This camera has been tried and true, and is an integral part of our custom shoot process. We entertain all rig designs, but if it ain’t broke, as they say….

And a little fun fact with this one: we actually had a say in its functionality and design. When you’ve worked as long as David Smith has in the array field, your expertise to those engineers becomes invaluable.
