Crew days
Available for crew days across Auckland and the rest of New Zealand, in the camera department or as a videographer. Own kit, own vehicle, insured and around at short notice.
Twenty months full-time at London Filmed before moving over, operating and editing branded content, commercials and live events, mostly multi-cam on FX3, FX6, FS7 and FX9. Two years as a freelance runner and production assistant before that, and trained at The BRIT School in film and media production. I know set language and I do not need managing.
Camera operator
Own FX3 kit or on your bodies, and well used to FX6 and FX9. Comfortable on multi-cam, interviews, panels, roaming and locked-off stage.Second camera
Matched body and matched picture profile so both angles cut together in the grade without a fight.2nd AC and general crew
Slating, media handling, lens work, battery rotation and clear comms. I carry a full 2nd AC kit: slate, tape, run bag and the T-check.Editor
Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Rough cut through to graded delivery, or just the grade if you have your own edit.Sent to production companies on request, not published. Crew rate and client project pricing are two different things, and a rate on a public page gets read as one. Send the dates, the role and the shape of the day and it comes back the same day.
Public liability, with the kit insured separately. Certificates on request for venues and corporate sites.
Own vehicle. Auckland-wide as standard, anywhere in New Zealand with notice.
Dual UK and NZ citizenship. I trade as Declan Gale Videography and invoice on your terms.
I'm listed on FilmCrews in the camera department, with a CV and booking details there if that's how you'd rather do it.
