We work both directly with clients and through agencies to create original video content. We often operate as the production company by hiring crew, supplying cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing footage or handing off to a post-production team. We also work on set as directors, DPs, and robot operators for other production companies and agencies.

We have premium 6K+ cinema cameras, lenses, lights, modifiers, G&E, and camera support available in-house. A full list of gear is available here: https://www.illuxion.video/camera

Of course! We love being on set—even if we are not the production company. We contract out as directors, DPs, camera operators, and robot operators.

Yes, we understand many video projects require work across the country and world. We will travel for most video production jobs. Depending on the requirements of the job we'll either travel with our own camera gear, rent locally, or do a combo of both. The same goes for crew. We may hire locally or bring crew members depending on what is most efficient and cost-effective.

Yes, about half of our motion control jobs require us to travel. Dolores loads nicely into a box truck but requires a forklift to be loaded in and out. She also requires 3 phase power with cam-locks or a tow plant generator to be present on site. We will work with G&E to take care of the power requirements.

We provide a basic G&E package standard with every rental. The grid hangs 15' above the floor. There are six 4-plug electrical outlets above the grid, each with their own dedicated 20-amp circuit.
