With over 20 years of production experience in Berlin, Basiliscus Film provides English-speaking camera crews for international broadcasters, editorial teams and event organizers.

### What we produce:
- [Corporate films](https://basiliscus.net/en/references/corporate-film&lang=en "Corporate films") & promotional videos

Why clients choose us: We don’t just turn up and start filming. We listen, we plan, and we bring genuine cinematic craftsmanship to every project – whether it’s an interview with a camera in a Berlin studio or the production of a multi-day event across the city.
Our ENG crews and teams work with state-of-the-art camera and sound equipment. We stay up to date, are constantly learning, and bring the same precision and commitment to a 90-second corporate clip as we do to a documentary.

Our Berlin based camera crews can be booked as a three-person team, consisting of a camera operator, a sound recordist and a [director](https://basiliscus.net/en/camera-crew/editor-and-creativ-tv-producer/stephanie-drescher "tv producer and editor Stephanie Drescher - Berlin").

### The classic 2-person camera team Berlin
camera, sound
The classic broadcast crew is a two-person team. It consists of a camera operator and a sound recordist and we also cater to clients who need a professional 2-person camera crew for their project. The organisation and editorial work in this case lies in the hand of the client.
So if you are a director / journalist yourself and you are looking for a professional camera crew based in Berlin, you can of course book our service. We’re looking forward to hearing from you to help you realise your next film project!

### Compact Crew: Camera + Direction in One
camera, director
The special 2-person camera crew consists of a cameraperson, who also takes over the tasks of the sound recordist and a director.
In recent years we have had a wealth of experience in this field and have realised many film productions in this constellation. The advantage lies not only in the clear cost savings, but our protagonists also appreciate this “private” option very much. We experience time and again that the people in front of the camera find a smaller team less disturbing. The people open up much more quickly and we get better access.

### Video Journalist (VJ) – Agile, Fast, Cost-Efficient
Video Journalist
The smallest team is the VJ, short for video journalist. One woman or one man for everything: camera, sound and editing. Well suited for filming at congresses and events where you only need a professional camera person to capture the impressions and atmosphere of the event. So: »Run & gun«, as we like to say.
