Professional Contract Video Shooting Services
Have Camera; Will Travel
At Hamil Bros Studios, we understand that not every project needs full-scale production services. Sometimes, you just need expert operators behind professional cameras—no editing, no post-production, no frills. That’s where our contract video shooting service comes in. You direct the vision—we handle the capture.
Our team has been trusted by agencies, studios, and businesses all across the United States. Whether you need us to run point on the entire shoot or simply show up and shoot what’s already been planned, we’re ready to roll. With over a decade of experience and industry-standard gear, we provide footage that’s production-ready and easy to integrate into your post workflow.

Cameras
Since 2013, our camera of choice has been Blackmagic Design. Known for their cinematic quality and innovative features, Blackmagic cameras are a cornerstone of our contract video shooting service. With the development of their proprietary BRAW Gen5 codec and new generation sensors, Blackmagic has positioned itself as a go-to solution for productions ranging from small commercials to national campaigns.
We’ve filmed everything from grassroots projects to productions with budgets exceeding $500,000. With this range of experience, we bring the technical knowledge and creative flexibility to adapt to whatever your shoot demands.
Lenses
Quality starts with the glass. That’s why we invest in top-tier cinema lenses that elevate every frame we capture. Our lens kit includes the Tokina Cinema Vista Prime Lens set (PL Mount, Full Frame+) and Tokina Cinema 11-20mm and 25-75mm zooms (EF Mount, Super 35+). These lenses are the same optics used on Hollywood films and prestige television productions.
When you hire us for contract video shooting, you’re not just getting camera operators—you’re getting professionals who know how to bring your vision to life with the right gear and the expertise to use it to its fullest.
Audio
Video is only half the picture—great sound makes the difference between “good enough” and “professional.” As part of our contract shooting services, we offer up to 8 channels of simultaneous 32-bit float audio recording, which means you don’t have to worry about clipping or distorted levels.
We use a combination of high-end microphones from Slate Digital, Lewitt, Saramonic, and Rode. Whether we’re capturing dialog on set, interviews in the field, or atmospheric soundscapes, you can count on clean, clear, and editable audio to match the high quality of our footage.
Innovative Video Lighting Solutions
Gone are the days of blazing-hot lights and limited lighting flexibility. Our current lighting package features a suite of professional-grade LED fixtures that deliver precise, adjustable output—without the heat or heavy power draw of old-school tungsten.
Our LED systems allow us to quickly adapt to lighting challenges on set, from color temperature shifts to tight shooting schedules. Adjustments can be made wirelessly via mobile apps, speeding up setup and changes throughout the shoot. When it comes to contract video shooting, efficient lighting equals more time spent capturing great footage.
Dolly-Based Motion Control
Static shots work—but motion tells a story. For projects that need dynamic visuals, we offer dolly-based motion control solutions that are smooth, repeatable, and visually compelling.
Our Dana Dolly setup is an industry favorite, but we’ve taken it to the next level with motorization via the eMotimo motion system. This allows us to program precise, repeatable camera moves—ideal for interviews, product showcases, performance scenes, or VFX shots requiring multiple matching passes.
Whether you need cinematic movement or just a bit of extra energy in your frames, our motion tools are available with every contract video shooting package.
Advanced Motion Camera Support
Handheld footage has its place, but for smooth motion shots that elevate your production, we’ve got you covered. Our contract shooting clients often request gear that adds versatility without slowing things down—and we deliver.
