CAMERAS, LENSES AND ACCESSORIES

Some say that it is not all about the gear, and they are right. It is only a tool which is important but in some cases not a crucial. However, just as taxi driver cannot exist without a reliable car, so cannot cinematographers and photographers exist without quality and reliable photo and video equipmnent. Here is a brief overview of Goran's equipment. In video business the main cameras are Sony FS5, Sony a7s and Sony a6500. Camera setup is very transformable and depends of production needs. It can be as light as possible, which is recommended for mounting on sliders, drones, or video cranes. On the other hand, cameras are ready for full ENG work with shoulder rigs, external viewfinders, shotgun, wireless microphone set etc. FS5 is capable of filming timelapse video and super slomotion till 900 fps, which makes it very valuable on the market. All the cameras are 4k. Goran has at his disposal also a bunch of GoPro cameras and equipment with many of mounting solutions which is ideal for every "GoPro demanding" shot. 

In the lens selection Goran relies most on the Canon and Sony professional optics. He has 10-18, 35 f1.8 prime, 50 f1.2L prime, 50 f1.8 prime, 85 T1.5 cinema prime, 100 f2.8 prime macro, 16-35 f2.8L, 70-200 f2.8 lenses and one allround ENG Sony 18-200 servo zoom lens.

In association with his partners he makes areal shots and professional audio and video studio recordings as well. He can also manage green screen shootings. Postproduction is done  on dual processor/12 core Apple Mac Pro computer, mainly because of Goran's permanent need for speed and safety.
