Camera Operator & equipment for hire

Florian Schulz Productions develops and produces high-end nature films. Our goal is to transport our viewers into the wild. To achieve this, we may come eye to eye with big brown bears, spend days in a camouflage tent to film a rare bird, rise up high into the air to shoot aerials with a Cineflex, or ShotOver or dive below the water’s surface to encounter great white sharks. Our footage is shot with the latest 8k RED cameras, complemented with the Phantom Flex when ultra-slow motion is need.

Our three gimbal systems, the Shotover F1, M1, and Cineflex ULTRA, can be equipped with the longest-range telephoto lenses available in cinema. Those gimbals can be attached to helicopters, cars, or boats while delivering unbelievable shake-free film sequences of wildlife behavior. With the Phantom Flex 4K and  VEO 4K and we are able to give our viewers a look into high-speed action that otherwise is hidden to the human eye. Our goal is to show nature in all its beauty creating artistic images that reflect the style and vision of Florian Schulz’s work as a still photographer.
