Panasonic HDX900 Cameraman
Our staff has shot thousands of hours using the Panasonic AJ-HDX900 around the world.

Our HDX900 camera operator, technical producer and video engineer credits include sporting events and over 40 concerts. Over the years, we have identified the best video engineers and Panasonic HDX900 camera operators in the Los Angeles area. Since we travel extensively, we have also identified competent talent around the world allowing you to hire competent residents, if possible, who live in the area of production.

You can, of course, choose to simply have Saturnalia Productions provide you with Panasonic HDX900 camera rental. However, there are several advantages in also hiring our video engineers and/or HDX900 camera operators:

• A Panasonic AJ-HDX900 camera rental house cannot offer you bundled discounts since they cannot control the rates of one or several HDX900 cameramen.


• Since our employees are the video engineer(s) and/or Panasonic HDX900 camera operator(s), we will prep your camera for free if it is a single unit. If it is a multi-cam, fiber back / MOLT fly-pack a prep day then a paid "prep day may be unavoidable.


• You can be 100% assured that you are hiring a Panasonic HDX900 cameraman or video engineer who is familiar with every nuance of the Panasonic AJ-HDX900 that you have rented. This experience can be the difference between an incredibly smooth production and a disaster in the field.


• Our cameramen and video engineers are extremely familiar with the Panasonic HDX900 workflow through mastering and can help you avoid technical pitfalls in the field which cost you headaches, money and wasted time in post-production.

• In the event you are producing a low-budget documentary, a couple of our Panasonic HDX-900 camera operators can also serve as soundmen and gaffers. This one-man band approach, of course, does not work for a run-and-gun / ENG documentary, but can work for sit-down interviews. One of the owners of Saturnalia Production has served in this capacity for a number of HD clients including CBS, Disney, Warner Brothers and dozens of independent production companies.
