Specialty Services

At Locke and Stache, we believe movement is key. Visually, we aim to create stories that move — each story has its own motion and, when it's told right, the ability to move others. We accomplish this through directing and producing compelling stories, with the aid of cinematic tools that keep us ahead of the curve. Let us highlight the movement your story deserves.

Gimbal - 1 Movi Tech

Ghosts can move all around because of their smooth stable soul. With our work with different gimbals, Movipro being the primary tool we use. We are able to stabilize the story in a variety of different scenarios. 

Even before the 3 axis gimbal became a tried and true piece of film equipment, our team has been working toward making smooth intentional moving shots that seem impossible. With the help of newer technologies that allow for almost any camera and lens package to be use we are able to find a smooth solution for any specialty shot. Whether that is a slow moving jib shot all the way to a high speed car rigged or cable cam shot. 
Our primary gimbal we use in house is the Freefly MoviPro. This kit has seamless integrated power, remote control, and video downlink. Able to fly a 20Lb payload, this gimbal can fly most Red, Sony, Arri, and Blackmagic camera builds. 

Since we specialize in multiple ways of camera movement, this kit can be transferred easily between handheld, car rigs, dollies, and jibs. 
All around this is a small lightweight options to capture smooth cinematic shots when before they would need a much larger on set footprint. 

To make all of the Movi moves, we will send at least 1 Movi Tech to make sure everything works properly on set. Depending on the shoot and complexity of the desired shots we will send multiple crew to help execute the most complicated of ideas.

Cable cam - 2 people

The cable cam is the best example of our logo in real life. Whether zipping through the woods or between two points in an urban setting. 

The Defy Cadence is a compact cablecam option that can be used for either large live, commercial, or narrative productions. As well as being able to be hauled deep into woods to capture outdoor footage such as Mountain Biking or trail running. Because of the nature of being on a line system this allows for repeatable moves in areas that would normally not be possible. 

This package can carry our movi package or similar sized gimbals such as the ronin 2. 
Our 2 person team will make sure that all anchor points and rigging will be safety and efficiently be set up to provide fast setups that keep all on set safe. 
The Cadece can go up to 35 mph with a length of 600’ max. 

  • Up to 35mph
  • 600’ dual lines for redundant safety over crowds, etc.
  • For live, commercial and narrative productions
  • Operator required**
  • Quick setup and tear down times
  • Mobile, packable 
  • Repeatable moves, programmable end stops, safe
  • Compatible with many gimbals/payloads (movi, ronin 2 or similar)
  • No airspace clearance required

Blackarm

To capture large movements such as vehicles our FlowCine Black arm will meet almost any need. 

This can be mounted to almost anything that moves. Cars, boats, atv’s, bikes, dollies. Hell we even mounted this onto a lawn mower for a shoot one time.  

With mounting to moving vehicles the black are is a stabilizer that works with a variety of gimbals that could be mounted to capture smooth high speed shots of moving vehicles. 

This system has video downlink to allow for all operators, crew and clients to capture intricate shots from a safe distance and not have a random guy hanging out of the back of a truck. 

  • Can be rigged to cars, boats, atv’s, bikes, dollies
  • 3 axis stabilizer arm 
  • Safe
