PROFESSIONAL VIDEO CREW • UK & EUROPE
Hire a professional video crew across the UK.
One experienced videographer or a complete production crew, built around the job.
Corporate interviews, testimonials, awards nights, press junkets, events, B-roll and larger productions. Start with what needs to be filmed; we scale the people, cameras, lighting and sound around it.
ONE SHOOTER OR FULL CREW
The crew the job needs. Nothing unnecessary.
A rapid testimonial at a client office might need one self-shooting videographer. A high-end executive interview may need two or three hours of lighting preparation, dedicated sound, make-up and hair. An awards evening may need a roving operator plus continuous stage coverage. The crew changes because the job changes.
Agency teams can supply the treatment, shot list, call sheet and technical specification. Direct clients can have MJ Films plan, direct, shoot and edit the finished film.
CREW BUILT FOR THE JOB
Hire a video crew that already understands the brief.
The right crew for an awards night is not the same as the right crew for a controlled executive interview. We scale the people, kit and setup around what needs to happen on the day.
HIGH-END INTERVIEWS
Hire a video crew for high-end executive interviews
A full lighting setup, dedicated sound, make-up artist and hairdresser can be arranged for polished leadership, campaign and brand interviews. Allow around two to three hours before recording when the room needs to be fully shaped.
RAPID TESTIMONIALS
Hire a compact crew for a testimonial anywhere in the UK
When the job is one customer, one location and a short filming window, one experienced videographer can travel in, set up quickly, record clean sound and capture useful B-roll without a large footprint.
AWARDS & PRESENTATIONS
Hire a roving camera crew for awards nights and presentation evenings
Roving coverage for arrivals, guests, reactions and atmosphere, with a second camera added for stage presentations, speeches and audience cutaways when the running order needs continuous coverage.
PRESS JUNKETS
Hire a video crew for press junkets and media interviews
A discreet single shooter for quick interview turnarounds, or a multi-camera setup with lighting, sound and support for a full press day.
INTERVIEWS & B-ROLL
Hire a crew that can capture the interview and the story around it
Interview, workplace detail, products, people and processes are planned together so the editor has the supporting footage needed to shape the final story.
UK & EUROPE
Hire a corporate video crew that travels across Europe
Keep the same directing approach, interview style and finish as the production moves between countries. We travel with the core production package and scale locally when the brief calls for it.
SPECIALISTS WHEN THE BRIEF NEEDS THEM
Build the unit around the production
Camera, sound, lighting, aerial and production specialists added when they make the shoot better.
Camera operators
Flexible on-set coverage
Principal camera, second camera, EPK, BTS, corporate, interviews and documentary filming.
DOPs & cinema crews
High-end cinematography
Cinematographers and camera teams for commercial, brand and narrative productions.
Location sound
Clear, reliable dialogue
Dedicated sound recordists for dialogue, interviews, events and demanding locations.
Lighting & grip
Lighting that serves the scene
Gaffers and lighting teams for controlled interviews, set builds and commercial work.
Aerial filming
An elevated perspective
Qualified drone operators for establishing shots, industrial sites and location context.
Production support
A smoother filming day
Assistants and practical location support for contributors, schedules, movement and kit.
SPECIALISED HIGH-END FILM CREW
Need ARRI, RED or Sony VENICE for a more specialised production?
For commercials and films that need a dedicated cinema camera team, we can build the production around ARRI ALEXA, RED, Sony VENICE or BURANO, with DOP, focus puller, cinema lenses, lighting, grip and sound as required.
This is a different proposition from everyday video crew hire: specialist cinema cameras and crew are supplied as part of a complete Mark Jury-directed production, not as dry hire or standalone crew bookings.
TWO WAYS TO BOOK
Capture only — or the entire production
A clear handover for your own editor, or a single team responsible for the finished film.
Filming-only crew
Shoot now, edit later
Bring your call sheet, shot list and post-production plan. We shoot, organise and hand over the rushes.
Interviews & B-roll
More than the interview
Record the contributor and the activity, locations and detail an editor needs to tell the story.
Complete brand film
From concept to delivery
We can develop the story, direct the shoot and produce a finished film with agreed versions.
PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT
Camera and audio settings that match the edit
Our regular kit includes Sony FX6 and FX5 bodies, lenses, location audio, lighting and stabilisation. We can also match other camera systems when an agency or broadcaster specifies a particular recording format.
Resolution, frame rate, colour settings, sound and media delivery are agreed before the shoot so the footage fits your post-production workflow.

CREW HIRE FAQ
Practical answers before the shoot
Crew sizes, technical matching, filming-only packages and national availability.
Can I book just one camera operator?
Yes. For many interviews, EPK, BTS, documentary and business shoots, one experienced self-shooting operator can cover the job. See our freelance camera operator service.
Can you provide ARRI, RED or VENICE crews?
We can source DOPs and crewed camera packages to match specified ARRI, RED and Sony VENICE or BURANO workflows. See the cinema crew options. All equipment is confirmed subject to availability.
Can you follow an existing agency or broadcaster brief?
Yes. Share the camera settings, shot list, schedule, media workflow and any production requirements. We match the crew to the brief rather than changing your process.
Can you supply filming without editing?
Yes. Rushes can be delivered to your editor or agency, with the agreed format and file structure. We can also manage editing if required.
Can you provide make-up and hair for a high-end interview?
Yes. For high-end executive, campaign and brand interviews we can arrange a make-up artist and hairdresser alongside dedicated lighting and sound. A fully controlled setup can take around two to three hours before the contributor records. See professional interview filming.
Can you cover an awards night with a roving camera?
Yes. A roving operator can cover arrivals, guests, reactions and atmosphere, with a second camera added for stage presentations, speeches or continuous coverage. See our event filming service.
Can you send a small crew anywhere in the UK for a testimonial?
Yes. For a simple customer testimonial or case study, one experienced videographer can travel with a compact camera, audio and lighting package, then capture supporting B-roll before handing over the footage or completing the edit. See testimonial video production.
Can you film across the UK and Europe?
Yes. We film across the UK and can travel to Ireland and Europe. Crew, travel, accommodation and any location requirements are agreed before booking.
