About Camera Operators
Camera Operators are the hands-on technical professionals who execute the camera work on a video production — framing shots, executing camera moves, and adapting to changing conditions on live sets and in the field. Unlike Directors of Photography who bring their own equipment, Camera Operators typically work with the client's camera system or rental gear, making them an ideal choice when you already have equipment but need experienced talent to operate it. Assignment Desk Camera Operators are experienced across a wide range of camera platforms including Sony, Canon, RED, ARRI, Blackmagic, and Panasonic systems. They are trained in multi-camera switching environments, ENG-style run-and-gun shooting, studio productions, and controlled interview setups. Their versatility makes them the go-to choice for news gathering, live sports, corporate events, and broadcast productions. Our Camera Operators are available in all 24 markets as standalone crew or as additions to larger production teams. All operators are W2 employees with workers' compensation coverage, and many can also serve as DP-level crew when needed.
Skilled operators for any camera system
