POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Big turnout at HQ yesterday for our latest camera workshops 🤝🎥

Really lovely seeing so many of the crew in one place - operators, trainees, assistants, familiar faces, new faces, office cat, Phillip the pheasant… a full house honestly.

Huge thank you to @opticalsupport & @jamesbutler_cine for leading the sessions and sharing so much knowledge across the day. From assisting Trinity operators, to our Access Schemes going over camera prep, travel logistics, large format workflows and some of our ops getting hands back on the rig - lots covered and such a good atmosphere throughout.

Always nice being reminded how much talent sits within our wonderful team 🫶

Sunshine, BBQs & Serious Team Spirit ☀️⚾

We recently hosted our legendary Digital Orchard Group vs. Orchard Crew Rounders Tournament - and what a day it was! From BBQ bites (thanks to our Office Manager Ivana Oljaca, queen of the grill🔥) to flying catches and chaotic sprints, it was non-stop fun from start to finish

Both of our teams brought the heat, hustle and a very healthy dose of competitive spirit. It was wonderful for everyone in the wider Orchard family to catch up in person - laughter, questionable fielding, and a lot of cheering ensued!

Yes, Digital Orchard technically took the win - but Orchard Crew made them work for it 👀

Massive thanks to all of our crew who came along, same time next year? 💥🍊

RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER: IBIZA - 35MM 🎞️. From the 10th-15th March 2025 I was lucky enough to Camera Trainee on @footsoldierfranchise VII. Filming in Southend-on-sea I had a brilliant time learning an incredible amount from incredible people, I made friends, had a great time but most importantly helped make a movie! I wouldn’t have exchanged my time for the world and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!!! Many thanks to the Camera Team along with the incredible crew for everything they taught me! #35mmfilm #setlife🎬 #camerateam #riseofthefootsoldier #cameratrainee

That’s a wrap on “Rise Of the Footsoldier Ibiza”. It’s been windy, rainy, cold, hot, dusty, beautiful, horrible but we made it. we love it. we are bulletproof, like everyone in the film industry 💪

Thanks, thanks and thanks a lot to the camera crew for never complain about any of the never ending challenges and just get on it. simply amazing, honestly. I’ll keep that in my mind. Learned many things from you all ❤️

Epic is the only word I can use to describe the journey on Rise of the Footsoldier Ibiza over the past six months. What started in Ed Paradis six months ago led us to Ibiza, Southend and Bosnia-en-Guildford. It’s truly been a privilege and a pleasure to work with some of the best and most talented people in this industry. I owe all of you for your Creativity, Passion and Hard Work. What a film we’ve made.

Trinity Operator Alex Kryszkiewicz @steadi.k led an exciting ‘show and tell’ session, giving fellow Orchard Crew members an in-depth look at this cutting-edge stabiliser

From dynamic camera moves to seamless tracking shots, the Trinity 2 pushes creative boundaries- we love seeing OC Diary Service crew getting to grips with some of the best gear in the industry

Our wavy Ibiza filming has come to an end. Working with these legends made it feel like a holiday. Big love, BIG BOOOM.

I’m so incredibly thankful for what I get to call work. Please can we stop these genocides so everyone can enjoy their life- without fighting for it everyday 🇵🇸🇺🇦
