Welcome to M60 Television Limited owned by
Director of Photography, Jon Chappell

At M60 we hire out the most experienced Video Camera Crews in the Northwest. Our Manchester based cameramen film with the Canon XF305, the Canon 5d, Sony XDCam, the Sony 750 HDCam and the Sony DSR-450 DVCam. We can also supply a cameraman in the Lake District, North Yorkshire & Newcastle Upon Tyne.

At M60 we provide any location editing with a MacBook Pro & Final Cut Studio 7.

Jon has now had 4 filming trips to Afghanistan and "Women on The Front Line" for ITV was an RTS Awards Finalist.

During a recent shoot in the USA we used two cameras to film interviews. The 5d with a 50mm prime lens for the mid shot and the XF305 video camera on the close-up.

M60 now has a new steadicam rig for the Canon XF305 and 5d DSLR. It is easy to rig, lightweight and ideal for any location. Hire the rig with an operator for £450/day or £550/day if we also supply the camera.

This is our new light and compact HD monitor. It fits neatly to the rear on the camera for the convenience of the director or client so you can see exactly what you are getting.

Using a Canon 5d with prime L series lenses we are now filming commercials, app video and web video content. Our Canon 5d clients include: Nissan - One Millionth Qashqai, Hasselblad, Discovery Europe, Spire Healthcare, Ch4 Dispatches.

The M60 Camera Mobile is a Chevy diesel pickup truck. It seats 5, has a massive cargo space and selectable 4-wheel drive.

M60 has been achieving success in filming and video production for over 20 years. To date we have delivered over 1000 completed video productions to a long list of loyal and trusting clients.

Hi Jon & Katrina

Just a quick note to say a big thank you to you both for the great work and support on the recent 1 million Qashqai video. The video has gone down really well with the client and has been shared right across the network.

Thanks again

Dear Jon,
Rory (Rory McGrath) said that our filming day was without exception the best filming day he’d had in his entire career!

Cheers for now

Hi Everyone
Warzone is into its second week and has been received really well by everyone who’s watched it. I just wanted to say well done on producing a brilliant series, particularly the team who were on the sharp end out in Kandahar. You guys were amazing and you should be extremely proud of what you achieved.

The programmes just get better and better as we get to know the characters and the reality of war hits home. It’s very moving and poignant, particularly by episode four, which never fails to make me cry.

Love

Hi Guys (Warzone Production Team, Afghanistan) Sitting here enjoying your rushes - its all looking wonderful - you're doing a great job and Jon Chappell is a camera God! Susanne just came in laughing about the disco scene so can’t wait to see that one!

Quote from e-mail sent by Series Producer, Warzone regarding Jon's footage. 16 Oct 2008.


RE Encoding for Webportal:
I'll have to ask Kemi about comparison, as I only saw the other version very briefly. Overall though I would say the quality is excellent, particularly considering the file size as well (a 5-minute movie for under 50MB - gotta love that codec!)

Many thanks again
-Ben
