Questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference between videography and cinematography?
Videography captures events and content efficiently; cinematography is the craft of lighting, lensing and movement to give a film a deliberate, cinematic look. For brand films, commercials and documentaries where visual quality matters most, that craft is what sets the work apart.
Can you provide just a DOP or cinematographer for our production?
Yes. We can supply a Director of Photography and camera or lighting crew to join your existing production, or handle the whole shoot end to end.
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes. Kampala-based and available across East Africa, Africa and worldwide. Travel is included in the project quote.
How is cinematography priced?
By scope: crew size, kit, shoot days and the look you are after. Share your brief and we will quote clearly.
