Motor Eyes, Inc. rents Cam Mate jibs..  or cranes ..for Film and Video.    John Kelly is based in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. 

16mm - 35mm - High Definition & Beta.

Thanks for visiting Motor Eyes' web site.  I rent and operate Cam Mate camera jibs for commercials, live shows, music videos, features, short films and concerts.

In addition to the Cam Mate 2000 and the Cam Mate System III, we offer Pipe Dollies, Wireless Cine Focus, Car Rigs and Monitors. We'll also arrange lighting and other production services.

I've worked in all types of motion pictures for a long while now, and I'm intimately familiar with all of the dollies and most of the cranes and remote heads in use around the world.  I've settled on the Cam Mates as a way to serve producers and shooters who want a "lot for a little." 

I'm proud of my ability to make this equipment work well with 16mm and 35mm gear, also with the Sony CineAlta HD and the Panasonic VariCam, as we work through the remote control challenges these cameras present when used with prime lenses and various converters. 

I hope you'll take a minute and look thru' the site.

Thanks,

John Kelly
