Then come on by mate, also we will be having a wicked party once we got the shop fully set up....more on that to come!

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Clayton,

Also you would need the latest rotating shutter and anamorphic cameras like a Alexa Studio and Sony F65 both together to get more sure money out of your great lens stock.

Customers are alway "picky".

Just saying it!!!

 

[C.H.Haskell]

Congrats guys!!

Clay, so happy you finally did it buddy!!

Thanks Ketch! As you probably know this is reduser Daniel Dacian's vision and I am just another cog in our operation here, we might be small but dont be fooled...we are expanding our horizons every day and now working with some hot new features by some of the biggest Hollywood players...on the other end of the spectrum we are working on everything from Lady Gaga to Taylor Swift and about to launch a heap of new content for the launch of ABOVE magazine exclusively on EPIC. Stay tuned, lots more to come.

 

[Curran Giddens]

Nice collection of lenses you guys got there. Even before you get the Leicas! Congrats!

 

[Dan Kanes]

Just did a job with Some BigApple gear. Good stuff, but the innerspace case it shipped in was a bit big for an Epic (r1 case) - otherwise spectacular.

Thanks Dan, yeah we dont have our new custom designed EPIC cases just yet as we are still configuring our kits....its next on our list.

Agreed Curran, bigapple glass is no joke and I am waiting patiently for the new Leica glass...Band pro guys visit us regularly as there NYC office is in the same building so I would like to be demoing their glass
soon! I have another underwater shoot coming up and itching to put those puppies in action!

 

[John Bannister]

Clay, congratulations mate! Hard word and dedication has it's rewards. I wish you and your business all the success in the world!

 

[C.H.Haskell]

THanks John! Very kind of you. Cheers!

 

[A. Clint Litton]

Very exciting news, Clay. Congrats!

For East Coasters and out of towners visiting our fair city, both Clay and Daniel are great guys that will bend over backwards to get you what you need. Their gear is very well-maintained, too...there are a lot of rental houses that simply can't say the same.

Look forward to seeing your new digs!

 

[J Davis]

Thanks Clay, I want to take you up on that. I'll shoot you a PM
