We've had the pleasure of working with some incredibly talented crews. Here are some highlights of the latest film, high-end TV and commercial projects we've been working on — providing grip crews and equipment on set.
We had the pleasure of providing the grip crew and equipment for the record-breaking series 'Adolescence'. Directed by Philip Barantini and shot by Matt Lewis (DOP), starring Stephen Graham and Ashley Walters.
The epic one-shot format pushed the capabilities of TV drama and sent shockwaves across the world with its emotive storyline and technical achievement.
Following on from the award-winning feature film 'Boiling Point', the series follows the cast's lives after the events of the original film.
In early 2023 we had the pleasure of working once again with Matt Lewis (DOP), Phil Barantini, Hannah Walters and Stephen Graham, to name just a few of an incredible crew, to make the BBC series 'Boiling Point'.
We had the absolute pleasure of providing grip crew and equipment for the feature film 'Midas Man', a period piece about the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein. Available on Amazon Prime.
We provided grip crew and equipment for the Danish P3 Guld awards — the first of its kind: a one-shot live performance and live show captured as a single continuous take, running for a full hour.
A genuine technical feat, only made possible with Kinetik's custom gear. We had an amazing time out in Copenhagen shooting it.
We had the real pleasure of providing grip crew and equipment for the award-winning short film 'Flock'. Working closely with cinematographer Linda Wu, we helped realise its still, composed and observational camera style.
A beautifully crafted little film and a genuinely lovely project to be part of — the kind of considered, precise camera work we love getting stuck into.
Directed by BAFTA-nominated Philip Barantini (Boiling Point, The Responder) and written by former NHS doctor Grace Ofori-Attah.
In summer 2022 we had the pleasure of providing crew and equipment for DOP Matt Lewis and director Philip Barantini for the medical thriller ITVX series 'Malpractice'. Great crew, great story, great experience.
We had the pleasure of providing grip crew and equipment for the BBC series 'Just Act Normal'.
A brilliant team and a thoroughly enjoyable job from start to finish — exactly the kind of high-end television work we love being part of.
We provided grip crew and services for HMP's recent online and TV commercial, filming on location in Wales and the Midlands.
Quoted from director Greg Hackett: 'This call to arms for "ordinary extraordinary" candidates shows a prison officer's diverse range of experiences. It challenges preconceptions about the role, where you need to be peacekeepers, counsellors, teachers and teammates all rolled into one.'
We provided grip crew and equipment for this EA Sports commercial with footballer Diogo Jota.
"The old DGM might have left Bannerman School, but their spirit remains, and there is still a need to get even; wrongs must be righted and injustice has to be fought."
In summer 2021 we had the opportunity to provide crew and equipment for the BBC teen drama 'Rebel Cheer Squad'. A fully-packed shoot for Netflix and the BBC which utilised all the toys — cranes, dollies, remote heads. We worked for Hamish Anderson (DOP) and Tommy McMahon (operator), with a core team of 3 and up to 9 people on our big 4-camera and crane days.
We had a fabulous time shooting this music video for Tiberius B in our home of North Wales. This low-budget video, shot on 16mm film, came up trumps and won several awards.
Directed and choreographed by Saskia Dixie, shot by the amazing Zoe Que and produced by Celeste Kennedy Doig. It was probably our wettest but 'funnest' project to date — and we think that comes across in the video.
Bentley Connected app commercial. DOP Sam Coombes, Luti Media.
You can't go wrong filming snazzy cars. We had a blast shooting this Bentley commercial in January 2022. Sam Coombes (DOP) very kindly took us along for Luti Media and Bentley.
We provided grip crew and equipment for the final shooting block of 'Without Sin' over the end of 2021 and start of 2022. The shoot had some gruelling split night shoots but, with a wonderful crew, we all got through it.
We had the pleasure of working with Liam Iandoli (DOP) and his awesome team of operators and ACs.
We had an awesome time finishing the period ITV drama 'Confessions of Frannie Langton', providing grip crew and equipment for the final block of the job.

We had the pleasure of providing grip crew and equipment for the fantasy-adventure feature film 'Legend Has It', which has been playing the festival circuit including the Cambridge Film Festival.
A really fun, imaginative production to work on — the kind of ambitious storytelling that makes for some brilliant and creative camera work.
A World War One movie drama led by Peter Facinelli (Twilight, Nurse Jackie), with Matthew Barber and John Standing in supporting roles. Facinelli plays Samuel, an American officer shot on the front line in 1918 France who "makes a bargain with the 'Almighty' to return to his bride in England, until the last bell tolls".
We provided grip crew and equipment for the feature, shot in rural Shropshire in early 2022, working with August Jakobsson IKS (DOP) and Simon Hunter (director). Experiencing the trenches was one of the most incredible on-set experiences we've had.
