Several of our hire department Z-cams had a nice wee holiday to Pinewood Studios for use in the film Black Bag. The production team got in touch with us looking for compact, production-quality camera options that could be integrated both practically and visually into the set. After discussing the creative and technical needs of the scene, we supplied a selection of Z-cams from our hire fleet, which were used to capture the lie detector sequence and also featured prominently as part of the set build.
Our hire department regularly supports productions with bespoke solutions — offering everything from cameras and lights to lighting, stands, and power systems. With deep technical knowledge and a growing inventory of professional gear, we help filmmakers bring complex scenes to life with flexibility and efficiency.
