Gold Coast
Hello! I'm Locke (Lachlan) a Commercial & Long Form Focus Puller, with over a decade of experience in the Australian Film & TV Industry.

Lists as:

  • 1st Assistant Camera

Gold Coast – Based, but servicing shoots from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane, Byron Bay and even Australia-wide.

If it’s a larger cinema camera, a DSLR, Drone or even a 16mm film camera – if you’re on a Steadicam, shoulder, tracking vehicle, helicopter, plane, dolly or a Gimbal – if you’re shooting in the outback, tropical rainforests, underwater or on the water – if you want to use vintage anamorphics, huge zooms or tiny stills lenses – I will make ensure it is all working and sharp.

My mission is to do everything within my power, with the equipment and crew we have to support the Director and DOP’s vision – to use my knowledge, passion and teamwork to create the best story, as well as the best images possible.

At the same time, I really do believe we should enjoy every project we work on – after all, it’s an incredible thing to be calling our job!

Equipped with: Camera Van, ARRI Hi5, Cforce Motors, ARRI Zmu4, Cine RT Focusbug, Trolleys, Monitors, Teradeks & more *refer list on resume*.
