Individuals from anywhere, at any time, can see the action from a first-person view and get into areas that you’d usually not be able to, all from the comfort of their own space. Can you film in small spaces? Our video and microphone equipment is quite compact and usable in almost any space. Anywhere you can fit a single tripod— we can capture from. Do you travel to other states? Yes, we can travel wherever your production is located! As long as we have proper time to plan, we are definitely open to traveling and seeing new parts of the country! Do I own the right to my content?
