I highly recommend Simon. He is an excellent cameraman and a pleasure to work with.
Karl Beattie
Simon Lucas first worked for Antix Productions as a freelance camera operator, then as a lighting camera operator and DOP. I have been a cameraman for over 25 years and I was so impressed with his attitude, ability, creativity and speed that he became a full time member of staff at Antix. He has adapted his talents to a wide range of genres, comedy, music, light entertainment, factual entertainment, drama and documentaries. Always a very polite and easy to work with member of the crew, Simon is a very hard, quick thinking, worker whether working as a camera supervisor or working under a camera supervisor. I feel that there is nothing that Simon cannot do, he is technically and creatively brilliant, a rare combination in deed and an asset to any production. Kindest regards Karl Beattie. Company Director Antix Productions
