adjective
To function independently.
It is the joint venture of multidisciplinary nerds Cam Stewart and David Goldsmith, a label and brand for our work.
We specialise in the ‘edge-case’: when creativity risks failing due to technical, logistical or temporal issues, we know what to do.
Regardless of the production, we thrive on leveraging our knowledge and skills to empower creative minds to do their best work.

noun
A distinct group, encircled by a larger one.
With a career in motion picture spanning more than a decade, Cam understands what a production needs to succeed.
A focus puller by trade but a multidisciplinary nerd by nature, Cam’s practice has expanded into specialty camera services from motion control to high-speed and aerial, building naturally on his 1st AC foundation of managing camera packages, liaising with rental houses, and keeping pictures sharp.
Calm and collected, he brings an intricate understanding of both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking, always working to ensure the two are seamlessly bound on screen.
David (please call him Goldie) has worked across production and post from data wrangler to colourist, with motion control in between.
As a VTR / Qtake operator, he provides reliable live feeds, recording, and playback, while also adding creative support that goes beyond the basics. He can turn around quick edits, bash comps, and proof-of-concept grades on the spot, helping directors and clients make faster, more confident decisions on set.
Focused and detail-driven, he keeps sets moving smoothly while giving productions more room to experiment.
A full-service camera department spanning operation, focus, motion control, high-speed and aerial. We manage complete camera packages end-to-end, handling sourcing, rig development, rental house coordination and on-set support. When a project demands something beyond standard kit, we design and build to suit the brief. Every setup is treated as a unique technical and creative problem, never a template to repeat.
On-set digital imaging built around QTAKE: live feeds, multi-camera recording, instant playback and real-time compositing. More than video village: on-the-spot editorial, comps and grades that help directors and clients make decisions while the set is still live. Robust, flexible monitoring infrastructure keeps production moving without slowing creative momentum.
From providing a complete camera and/or compute package down to tracking down that one little thing to make something go, we have generally got it covered.
Both Cam and Goldie are represented by Freelancers Promotions, for all bookings please call 03 9682 2722 or email info@freelancerspromotions.com.au.
