David Marsh- I’m a photographer, videographer, cinematographer, and author. I began my media career in England when I was 17, after I quit school early.Yes, I hated school. I apprenticed at Pinewood film studios, where I learned how to edit film (real film in long strips and snippets called trims). Notable show: “The World At War.” for Thames TV - Team Emmy - editing. I wrote and directed my first feature film “The Lords of Magick” entirely on digital, in the early days of CGI. Six years later, my second film ”Stormswept” (self-financed) sold worldwide. Today, I divide my professional time between writing novels and filming brides and adventurers.
The cameras that I use are: Canon 5D mk3, Canon R with EF adpater, Canon 6D, Panasonic GH4 with Metabones speedbooster. Primes: 24mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm. Zoom: 24-105mm. Favorite focal length for portraits: 85mm wide open. Drone: DJI Mavic. Underwater camera: Gopro. Audio: Sennheiser wireless mic system. Rode shotgun mic. Backup sound: Zooom H1 and H2.
Samuel is David’s wingman, sometimes literally. Energetic, with a strong zeal for adventure, Samuel is rarely seen without his camera slingshot at his waist, ready to capture
magic. Sam’s camera: Leica M10 and Leica M8 backup camera.
Lana and Steven (for aerials) round out the team.
In 2008 the team launched Kauai Video Productions. There’s an old saying: “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” It’s an Englishism, like grub, bangers and mash, Marmite sandwiches. You get the picture. So take a bite out of any of our video samples / photo galleries. Or call/ e-mail, tell us about your project.
