Specialist Areas

We support 2D and 3D drama productions with our features cameras. We have put emphasis on our no compromise approach to quality that can still deliver technical solutions at an affordable price. We realise drama is a fast paced operation and our equipment can fulfill the need and suit the production in hand.

Esprit have worked in Wildlife film making for 35 years and offer equipment to represent the natural world at its very best. It’s important to us ethically and environmentally to communication as best we can to viewers worldwide the beauty our planet has to offer.

We aim to provide the best and most practical solution for the production in hand at sensible costs. We will always try to help on budget where we can and ensure that equipment meets the needs of the project. As a customer of Esprit there will be no consolation fee's charged when hiring equipment from us.

Esprit Film and Television lead underwater film making worldwide. In the last few years there was hardly an hour passed that there hasn't been an Esprit camera working underwater somewhere on our planet.

Esprit offer Gates Underwater Housings and Aquatica Housings for its specialist filming operations. Camera options can be Red Epic or Sony EX1R with NanoFlash recorder or Panasonic Pole cameras.

We also commission for manufacture, equipment such as our Underwater Presenter masks and Audio required systems. We have specialist underwater Lighting systems specifically for Features and Television. These systems are designed to operate in much the same way as a normal surface filming shoot would, therefore the equipment had to be designed and built specifically.

So far as we know Esprit Film and Television are the only company in the world today to offer a complete Underwater package such as this.

Esprit have been working with 3D imaging for over 20 years. We help create content that is commissioned for Cinema and Television and we are pleased to have contributed to some of the much watched 3D programming to date and we continue to work on ground breaking 3D programming which will be seen soon.

Esprit work with off the shelf 3D rigs and also design and have professionally built our own 3D rig systems such as rigs for High speed, underwater and macro photography. Our rigs are Esprit Harrier (Under Through, mirror), Hawk (Side by Side), Gryphon (Over Through, Mirror), these rigs were designed to be robust, light and simple to use. Mirrors in our rigs are calibrated to 2% transmissive, reflective and are designed to be higher tolerance than most commercial mirrors so we have less photographic errors. The aim as always, is to have equipment that helps improve content and tell the story better.

Our go to camera is Red Epic as its form factor lends it self to 3D easily and its one of the best cameras in the world today. We also use LMP HD1200 miniature 2/3 2K cameras which are very small and light whilst exceeding technical specifications for broadcasters. Both camera systems can be used on our rigs and also high speed cameras such as Photron SA2's.

3D is under constant improvement and development to create equipment that is smaller, lighter and more cost effective top operate in field for Wildlife and Feature Cinematography.
