I travel with a full QTake HD video assist package, monitors and a deep kit of converters and accessories, so video village just works. Strictly video assist: I don't do DIT work.
On-set video assist
My QTake system is built for 2 cameras and upgrades easily to 4. I take a feed from any production camera (iPhone shoots too) and distribute video and audio across the set through a Blackmagic SmartHub that I can re-route instantly from QTake. A 100 ft tether runs from the main cart to the director's monitors on a Filmtools Monitor Mover, so village moves when you move. Handhelds, car work and rigging are no problem.
Playback and live compositing
Instant playback: reverse, loop, frame-by-frame and variable speed
Camera-triggered auto-record with camera and clip metadata
Live compositing with no render time: chroma and luma keys, mixes, wipes, still mix and speed ramps
Synced playback of two clips for side-by-side comparisons
PDF take reports with color thumbnails, timecode and any metadata you need
Video village
Monitors for the director and for agency and client viewing, set up and fed so everyone sees what they need to see. Extra Flanders Scientific monitors and DJI wireless video are on the Rentals page.
Clients off set? I can stream QTake to any web browser or into Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or WebEx. Just ask.
-
I record proxy video from your cameras for instant playback on set and send live video to monitors throughout the set.
-
No. DITs handle the camera master files, dailies and looks. I run video assist and work right alongside them and the camera team.
-
2 as standard, upgradeable to 4.
-
Yes. I carry conversion tools for almost any format or output.
-
I’m based in Tennessee and work all over the Southeast: Nashville, Atlanta, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Birmingham and across the Southeast.
-
All the time. I’m an Atlanta native and do a lot of commercial work in Georgia.

I'm a Tennessee resident. The Tennessee Entertainment Commission's Production Incentive is a grant on qualified Tennessee spend for feature films, scripted series and pilots, and wages paid to Tennessee residents are among the qualifying expenses. The TEC sets eligibility and approves each project, so check current guidelines with them.
