Ethan James

I have been in the camera department since 2016 — starting as an in-house technician and trainee, working my way to a full-time 1st AC in 2019. Since then I've had the privilege of working across a range of international commercials, television series, and feature-length productions, often in technically demanding or unconventional environments all around the world. The part of the job I care most about is the relationship with the Cinematographer — understanding not just what they want technically, but how they think and what they're trying to feel. I work hard to make that collaboration as seamless as possible. Experienced across a wide range of formats — 16mm, 35mm, Large Format, ARRI Alexa 35, LF, 65, 265, Sony, Venice 1, Venice 2, Rialto, Panavision, Phantom, Steadicam, Remote Head, Underwater, Techno crane, Cable Cam, Arm Car and Tracking Vehicles. I take the technical side seriously and stay across developments in the industry, because being useful to a Cinematographer means being ready for whatever they want to try. I'm calm under pressure, straightforward to work with, and I bring consistent energy to the work — even on the long days.
