Such a pleasure to meet Lola through and have her in with us for the week. Perfect timing with a few preps on and she left with big smiles and tons of contacts.

As the year draws to a close, we’ve officially ticked off one full year of No Drama in the North East — and it’s been a brilliant one. From supplying kit to productions across the region, to supporting NE drama, delivering short-form and brand projects, and sponsoring events throughout the year, it’s been a privilege to be part of so much great work.

Most importantly, we’ve focused on putting as much back into the region as possible — contributing to the growth, pride and creative energy that makes the North East such a special place to work.

A huge thank you to our crew, clients and supporters for the trust and loyalty you’ve shown No Drama this year. It was also a pleasure to round things off by supporting the NES & Generator end-of-year Christmas bash, alongside the Mayor of the North East.

A camera rental company rooted in the region and working for it.

We believe community is our greatest strength. When passionate, creative, and like minded individuals come together with a common goal, that’s when the magic happens. That’s true on set, and it’s also what binds our Ancient Alliance.

Where you get your tools matters. It can shape your story in profound ways. The rental house experience is a key part of the story telling process for directors, cinematographers and all crew members. Feeling properly supported from the very start is vital to the success of any project. Each member of the Ancient Alliance understands this fully and its demonstrated daily on their prep floors. Their clients are more than invoice numbers and profit margins. They are collaborators making art and telling stories together as a team.

Special companies deserve special lenses. Tamashii, Statera, and Series 65 mark our greatest optical achievements. This glass is unique and exclusive to the 10 international rental shops which form the Ancient Alliance. Our global network can accommodate projects of any size anywhere in the world at anytime. If you want that Tamashii, Statera, or Series 65 look, you can only find it in the Ancient Alliance.

We have ambitious goals, and we are just getting started. As our alliance grows stronger, so will our exclusive inventory of exciting lens projects. If you love lenses, get ready. Our next projects will really shake things up!

Leitz, you say?

We’re buzzing to showcase our new nano primes from the cinematic giants Leitz. The Leitz Hektor’s are a modern throwback to their roots decades ago, with a subtle but present vintage character and lovely purple-green flairs.

Nano primes - such as Cooke SP3’s and our cine-modded Olympus OM’s - are more sought after than ever with the Ronin 4D being so popular. But, similarly, the Leitz Hektor’s being E-mount means our friends love to stick them on a Sony FX6 to raise their imaging that bit more.

They’re super lightweight, look great, and have a gold e-mount. Which is fancy. We like fancy things.

Only one set in the country right now - come & get ahead of the crowd 👀

Full Frame Finder … compatible with all formats up to an image diagonal of 46.31mm (Super35, FF, VV & LF). Solidly built & lightweight with easily exchanged user definable frame lines. Nice.

Like a couple of naughty teenagers downing Red Bull at the back of class, the first of our cameras are ready to go ‘Xtreme’….

Up to 330fps (660fps in sensor overdrive mode) with improved pre-record buffer times, new reduced data rate ARRICORE codec and reduced power consumption vs the original A35, remarkable!!

Get in touch to test in Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow or Newcastle.
