Steadicam

After attending the Steadicam Operators Association Workshop a decade ago with Jerry Holway and Garrett Brown, inventor of the steadicam, SJPS became full blown evangelists, preaching the gospel of camera movement. Seriously, we love our steadicams, but not in a weird way.

Aerial

We fly the DJI Inspire 2 Pro with Zenmuse X5S gimbal and camera and the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. FAA Certified and fully insured, we pride ourselves on being cinematographers who are also skilled pilots.

Jib

With over 25 years of jib experience, SJPS offers Jimmy Jib triangle jib arms with a reach of up to 30 feet and full remote pan and tilt heads. A passion for movement drives us to create dynamic shots.

Stabilizers

For more smooth movement, we offer a variety of stabilizers including the Tilta Arm paired with the Ronin 2 on our vehicle mount pictured here.

Camera

We have a variety of camera platforms available including the Black Magic Ursa Mini Pro, a Panasonic GH5, and the DJI Zenmuse X5. And a bunch of gopros… Click here for a complete listing of our gear.

Crewing

Looking for a 1st AC? How about craft services, or maybe 10 PA’s. Our network can supply all the experience you require. Kansas City is the fortunate home of passionate film makers and film support crew. Let us introduce you to them.

If you want moving pictures,

SJPS can provide. We are a collection of film making and technical geeks. We are passionate about the theories of camera movement, stand in awe at the lighting a good sunset provides, and become totally engrossed in telling stories.

Telling stories is what we do, whether with light, or by moving a camera through a space. SJPS specializes in camera movement via jib arms, steadicams, drones/UAV’s, and stabilizers in the Midwest including Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska.

We also believe in the power of teams. Rather than competitors, we see partners and associates. We have a strong network of Directors of Photography, Camera Operators, Editors, Gaffers, etc. Our passion for film making runs deep. We don’t work or consider what we do a job. We play, and we play hard.
