I’ve never met another film company who evolves, tests, R&D's so quickly and with such accurate results, constantly on the bleeding edge of what’s possible with camera movement and constantly problem-solving. These guys are the real deal.
Philip Lanyon
CSC, Director of Photography
RVRD is a first-class operation. Derek, Jason & the team are all knowledgeable and extremely gifted filmmakers. If you tell them the shot, they will get it for you. With all of their state of the art, specialized equipment, they are always my first call.
Director/Executive Producer
I love it when I can work with the whole RVRD team. They come prepared, throw out creative solutions and ideas plus have such a great “can do” attitude. And they’ll even surprise you by building a remote-controlled pontoon boat, if that’s something that’ll get the shot!
ASC, Director of Photography
We were landlocked in Canada (a good thing, unless you need a motion picture drone and a Russian Arm). On the horizon at the crack of dawn comes the Revered Cinema team, meticulous as a Marine regiment with the souls of an artist. The result was creative perfection, from the technical to the creative they delivered beyond our expectations.
Producer
Working on different films around the world, I have found precious few companies that can truly deliver robust, consistent, and technically excellent remote camerawork in extreme outdoor conditions. RVRD is the best I have ever worked with. This is because Jason and Derek are determined to develop and improve their remote camera systems constantly and invest in the latest and greatest technology possible. I am deeply grateful and would work with them anywhere in the world they are willing to go.
Ericson Core
Director / DOP
Having had the privilege of working with RVRD on Netflix's Lost in Space series, I can attest to the tremendous production value they bring to a show. The work they did with their Rapture Drones and Russian Arm elevated our landscapes, both technically and creatively. They custom fabricated camera systems to shoot in many difficult locations. Every complex camera shot that our cinematographer threw at them resulted in a creative solution and they came up with a camera system to achieve the shot.
EP/Director/VFX Supervisor
I have had the pleasure of working with Derek, Jason and the RVRD team on several projects, since my first with them back in 2013. On all of those projects, the RVRD team has earned the trust and respect of every Director and DP. They are a huge asset to the industry in Vancouver and to any production they are a part of.
Producer
I’ve had the pleasure of working with RVRD on various projects such as "Project Blue Book", "Lost in Space" and "Home Before Dark". I’ve come to trust their equipment, crew, knowledge and storytelling intuition, regardless of the challenges presented.
