On set services
Fulfill your production’s full value by shooting with the cinema verified RED Dragon cameras paired with super sharp Zeiss Ultra Prime lenses.
We have two complete sets of RED Epic Dragon cameras, shooting up to 6k resolution in proprietary raw format, and a full set of six Zeiss Ultra Prime cine lenses.
Complementing the Arri primes we also have specialty lenses including the TLS Morpheus zoom, originally tailored for Roger Deakins work on the James Bond epic ‘Skyfall’ and a rehoused 18-35 wide angle zoom for more portable and practical rigging needs, such as use with our 3-axis gimbal system.
Our on-set setup also includes an extensive range of monitoring and support equipment from TV Logic, O’Connor, Bright Tangerine and Teradek amongst others.

To keep up with the most cutting edge of moving shot technology, we also offer a 3-axis gimbal camera support system, in the form of the highly rated DJI Ronin. Free your camera to move completely untethered and smoothly by combining the Ronin gimbal with our wireless monitoring and follow focus systems. Tracking, running, driving, make every shot breathtaking and completely smooth, with no need of post stabilization.
We have a fully customizable on-set DIT service, from a simple file backup to full scale edit assisting. Including instant RAID backup, first-light grading and RocketX accelerated transcodes of your RED files for editorial and viewing, on-set DIT is a modern must-have for any filmmaker serious about production.

Post production
Watch your overall post production take shape, editing grading and effects, while enjoying the relaxed and comfortable environment of our offices. They’re located in the Creative Industries and Media Centre, an old, characterful converted Harris Tweed mill in the industrial heart of Stornoway. There you can take advantage of our extensive experience with industry standard tools like Avid Media Composer, Autodesk Smoke Adobe Creative Suite, Mocha and Resolve.
Whatever your project, from promo to feature, fact or fiction, we can get your editing, effects, grading and mastering done with maximum creativity and minimum fuss.
