CONFIDENCE COMES WITH CLAIRMONT Tami Reiker, ASC Shares Her Experiences Filming “Mr. Woodcock” And Years Relying On Clairmont Camera In The Beginning… “I’ve been dealing with Clairmont Camera for about ten years now. In the beginning I was mostly doing independent feature films, but as my career evolved, I starting doing more and more television commercials and feature films around the world. While the scope of my projects has expanded significantly, I can honestly say that Clairmont’s level of service has been consistently terrific. Our ongoing relationship has been a wonderful asset to my career.” On The Making of “Mr. Woodcock” “It’s interesting to note that we started production using a Moviecam package, TAMI REIKER, ASC was the Director of Photography for upcoming film “Mr. Woodcock.” She’s shown on the set with one of Clairmont’s Arri ST cameras.

The amazing thing is that Clairmont Camera made the switch overnight. We didn’t lose a minute of production time.” “From a lens perspective we used a full compliment of Cooke S4 T2 primes, ranging from 14mm to 135mm. We also used an Angenieux 24-290mm zoom. This covered every shot contingency that director Craig Gillespie envisioned.” The Confidence Factor… “When you deal with a company for ten-plus years I believe you really get to know their heart and soul. At Clairmont Camera you have a technical whiz like Denny, who is absolutely relentless when it comes to making sure equipment works at peak efficiency. This gives me great confidence when I go out on a job. Not only are the cameras in tip-top shape, but Clairmont is very thorough with their lens maintenance and I haven’t seen one that isn’t 100% to spec.” It All Adds Up… “The bottom line is that I’ve found Clairmont Camera great to work with. They bend over backwards to make sure you get what you want and are always there for you with technical support if you need it. And I appreciate that they are very respectful of my time and schedule. I simply like doing business with them.” www.clairmont.com Hollywood 818-761-4440 Toronto 416-467-1700 Vancouver 604-984-4563 N IN NOW OPE Albuquerque 505-227-2525http://www.clairmont.com
