Camera Rental
RED Epic and other 4k plus Ultra HD Cameras
At BLARE Films we like to be a total camera solution for your project. Our rates for the gear are competitive with most rental houses but since we only do “wet” rentals, we include a Director of Photography with every package. If you already have a DP for your project then our owner-operators have extensive feature experience as a DIT/DMT, 1st AC or 2nd AC. We are very flexible and our primary goal is to “make it work” regardless of the scope. This can include adding extra crew members as we can scale up to a full production crew.
Our Standard RED Scarlet package is priced at an ultra low, ultra HD rate of $1450/day. 2 days at $2400 and Weekly Rental of $6000. This package is perfect for indie-style productions where you want to move fast and be very flexible. This package has been designed to be superbly lightweight and is based on top of the line L Series Canon lenses and the Impero/Birger combination. In the right hands these lenses and support gear yield amazing results without all the mass and storage requirements of the traditional cinema package. If, on the other hand the traditional cinema package fits your production, that is available below. Both packages include pre-production consultation time and total follow through to remedy any post production issues. In addition we have grip and electric packages which can accompany the camera package in our Honda Odyssey minivan or 14″ GMC box truck with lift gate. Here we go…

In many cases we can get you special things to complete your production, all you have to do is ask.

Call or email today and we’ll work with you to set up the ideal package for your shoot at a rate you can afford. We love doing this and we take a lot pride in our ability to not only provide gear but a complete solution. Our packages are typically delivered in a Minivan with the option of a small lighting package or we can load it all into our Indie Camera/G&E truck which is perfect for commercials, shorts and indie features. If you want to step it up to a separate and fully stacked 2-5 ton G&E package we have multiple options in many cities for anything you might need and we can always travel for anywhere in between. All over the country. All over the globe. At BLARE Films we have what you need and can put it all together and let you get back to being creative.
