You never know when you will need a crew or footage from Southern Africa. Or you may need B roll from this area. For clients anywhere in the world, Mike is at your service in Africa, and will facilitate your production. With the price of travel and the attractive rates of exchange it is often more realistic to get a crew on location, thus saving you on airfares and other travel expenses. Should you require high quality footage (ranging from 35mm film, to HD video) filmed in Southern Africa, you will find Mike an indispensable member of your production team. Mike, being familiar with the local scene, will be able to facilitate your production by helping to set up your shoots, find locations, provide transport, accommodation and equipment and appoint other production crew members you might require.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Mike and the South African crew were fantastic! The French crew was absolutely wonderful! The Hong Kong crew was awesome! I cant say enough about all of themI was very pleased with the outcome of the shoot. Not only did Mike provide outstanding footage, but he went over and beyond the call to help me complete a quick edit for an urgent project."
From Christiana Halsey US Customs
"A quick note to follow up after my return from Johannesburg. We've received all of the videotapes and have had them converted to NTSC. The material you've shot looks fantastic. I love the setting sun shots from the
rooftop party at our office in Sandton.
Thank you again for the hospitality, for excellent work, and for being the best tour guides anyone could ask for during our jaunt through Johannesburg & Soweto on June 1 st. I only wish I took more pictures than the 150 that I shot! It was a pleasure to meet you, and the rest of your production team. We were in great hands having you all on board.
I hope to have an opportunity to shoot again in South Africa and to work with you and your team again.
Best regards and much gratitude,"

As I mentioned on the last e-mail I sent from Johannesburg, I was very pleased with the outcome of the shoot. Not only did Mike provide outstanding footage, but he went over and beyond the call to help me complete a quick edit for an urgent project. He logged his tapes and did a paper edit before I even arrived in Jo’Burg. The project was virtually done before I hit the ground. Mike was very pleasant to work with – a true professional and a very nice man. Bill Casanova provides the same outstanding level of service for us in the States. If all your sources are as good as these two guys, you’ve got a heck of an arsenal.

“Mike Burts is not only a great cameraman, but a wonderful human being and a pleasure to work with. He's extremely skillful, flexible and tireless in his approach to camerawork. In addition, he possesses a rare sensitivity to the subject matter and a sense of what works and what doesn't. I can't say enough good things about Mike and what he brings to a job.”
