Thomas Degay

I'm an ARRI-certified camera operator with over four years experience across outside broadcast, music videos and narrative short films. I have a deep technical knowledge of cinema camera packages and I'm experienced in box lens setups for live multi-camera productions. I have strong skills in both Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve as an editor and colourist.

I’m a freelance camera operator specialising in IMAG. Most recently, I worked at Boardmasters, shooting IMAG for acts including Kasabian and James Arthur, and as well as this I did FOH IMAG for Peter Gregson’s collaboration with the David Bowie estate at Lightroom.

This year I graduated with First Class Honours from Southampton Solent University studying BA Film Production, which allowed me to deepen my technical knowledges of cinema camera packages, as well as developing an understanding of working with virtual production stages.

I'm eager to expand my network so I can develop and add to my current skill set.
