St. Louis Staff Video Production Camera Crew

Manny Frances

DP — St. Louis, MO

I've worked with Sony the most, but I started off using Canon cameras. I like Sony since they're moving the full-frame world. I've used the Panasonic EVA, RED Raven, and Canon C line cameras. Sony just keeps me in with their performance. As far as lighting, I work with Nanlite the most. I'm familiar with the Arri SkyPanel, some Kino Flo's, and Aputure lights, but Nanlite and Litepanels are my main ecosystem. I've done various shoots from reality TV, live news, and interviews. I do have a favorite style of shoot which is documentary, I just love to be able to capture moments that we can look back at. My favorite project was documenting a land art exhibition with an artist named Emmanuel Massillion. I got to interact with amazing people, capture some awesome dirt bike content, and connect with other creatives in Atlanta.
