Video Crew
Video Crew in Budapest
Full video crew for feature, commercial and ENG projects — camera, sound, gaffer, assistants sourced locally.
Crews scaled to the brief — from a 2-person ENG package up to a full commercial unit. Everyone speaks working English; key positions are people I’ve worked with for years.

- Foreign production companies that need a local crew, not just an operator
- Brands shooting commercials with a tight schedule and a clear deliverable

FAQ
Common questions
How big a crew can you assemble?
Typical range is 2–8 people. Anything larger I co-produce with a local production house — more reliable than a big improvised pool.
How fast can you put a crew together?
For a standard ENG package, 24–48 hours. Larger commercial crews need 5–7 days for the right people.
Are crews union or freelance?
Hungary doesn’t have a closed-shop union system. Everyone is invoiced as freelance — clean paperwork, EU-compliant.
Who handles permits and locations?
See the Production Fixer page. The crew booking and the fixer service can be a single engagement.
