Flawless Filming

A Megadeck jib riser provides a solid platform to hold heavy equipment and prevent camera movement during filming, ensuring a smooth production.

The Challenge

Filming a live production or event, a television show or commercial requires a great deal of planning and forethought. It’s not as simple as bringing in a camera and turning it on. Every aspect of the production needs to be taken into account including the venue size, lighting, sound and camera angles, all of which affect the final result. Many film productions will require more than one camera so that what is happening can be viewed from different angles. This often means that one or more cameras will need to be elevated to film from an optimal vantage point.

The Location

Filmed productions can take place almost anywhere from a studio, to live stage and sports events, they can be indoors or outdoors and it can be day or night. No matter how difficult the terrain or setting, the cameras need to be positioned to capture all the right angles from a solid and stable platform. Even the slightest movement from an unstable camera results in a poor quality film that will need to be redone. Film production is expensive and wastage from mistakes can be costly.
