The Team

At Lonesome Dog Studios, we’re a tight-knit crew of multi-skilled filmmakers, photographers, editors, and storytellers with over 15+ years’ experience each in the creative industry. We combine technical excellence with cinematic instincts to produce content that cuts through the noise—and stays true to your brand.

Multi-Skilled Creatives, Built for Modern Production

Every member of our team is cross-trained - meaning we can shoot, edit, photograph, record audio, operate drones, and manage productions efficiently and creatively. This flexibility lets us move fast, adapt on set, and deliver more value per project.

For larger or multi-location productions, we scale with a trusted roster of directors, videographers, ACs, gaffers, photographers, drone pilots, stylists, and producers. No matter the project size, you get a crew that’s seasoned, collaborative, and laser-focused on results.

We love what we do - and we’re damn good at it.

The Kit

At Lonesome Dog Studios, we come fully kitted with our own pro-grade gear. We have cinema cameras, lenses, gimbals, lighting rigs, drones and audio systems — giving us full creative control and the ability to move fast under pressure.

• Sony Cinema Cameras
• Selection of Lenses
• Stabilisation Systems 
• Lighting Rigs
• Pro Audio 
• Monitoring, V-Mount Power, & Wireless Video
• Selection of Accessories & Stands

And So What?

Because we own and operate our core kit daily, we know exactly how it behaves in fast-paced environments — no surprises, no delays, no compromises.

This reliability allows us to keep workflows smooth, maintain cinematic quality across all shoots, and deliver content on tighter timelines.

Plus we are gear nerds.

Cost Efficient

By using in-house gear instead of hiring everything from rental houses, we can pass major savings directly to our clients — often reducing equipment hire costs by up to 35% per project. For larger-scale productions, we partner with trusted rental companies to expand into Arri systems, cinema primes, bigger lighting setups, studio builds, and specialty gear.

Whether your project is a 3-person interview setup or a full-scale commercial shoot, we bring kit that’s tested, reliable, and ready to perform.
