We make filming easier

We at 16oz studio specialise in making demanding filming much easier - both for ourselves at 16ozfilm and for you as a production service. We have a huge collective detailed knowledge and love to share.

So whether you need to capture complicated miniature actions at 2000fps or just get an immaculate radiant skin tone from a particular vintage lens, we are here and will deliver.  When should you call us? If you have some filming coming up and want less hassle, greater efficiency and a more accountability, then we should chat asap! Our involvement can be as small or large as you need.

Maybe you just need to hire a Phantom 4k slow-motion camera or some advice on unique interesting vintage optics - we are happy to help.

We will always honestly engage with your needs and if we are not the right guys or don’t have the right equipment for your project we will give the right industry recommendations. So if you need anything at all please don’t hesitate to ask.

Our technical team have access to a fantastic array of lenses, camera grip and lights but we do tend to shoot with only 2 or 3 cameras systems. Currently the Red Monstro + Phantom Veo 4k are our go to cameras and extensive tests (which we can share with you) showed us that they are the most flexible and capable cameras (in their respective areas) on the market.

At 16oz Studio we have worked very hard to create an efficient approach to moving image production. As most people know, making films of any kind is a complex and compound craft that takes such a wide range of skills and technology that it often become laden with technical and political obstacles. 16oz Studio was primarily set up to empower and lighten the load with respect to both film equipment and operating complexities. We also happen to have a small studio.

Our systems are based on carefully selected equipment placed in the hands of highly trained and motivated personnel. Even though we have 6 full cinema camera systems, over 50 different lighting fixtures and many types of grip equipment we don't often dry hire. Why? The simple and honest answer is that if you want to dry hire and need no help there are plenty of big hire companies to choose from (Arri, Panavision etc). We want you to have the best experience  and benefit from an approach that was formed in the trenches on our own productions.  We have no interest at all in just hiring out shiny boxes but we have a huge invested interest in you producing wonderful content. Why? The main reason is that we are providing a visual service with clear accountability in the projects success. We won't charge you for stuff you don't need, we will instantly put our hands up if we are not the right team for you, we accept that your plans may change and aim to stay flexible - we always leave space around all bookings. So if your project grows or contracts we painlessly adjust. Also remember no matter how big or small the project is at at least one of us will be there so it is very important it all goes well... we are part of your team!

Please do contact us with any production requirements..
