About Us
Shoot Blue is a leading independent London-based camera and lighting rental company.
Since our launch in 2008, Shoot Blue has invested in the latest camera, lens, grip and lighting technology for film, broadcast and digital content production. We believe in offering a friendly, straightforward service, expert advice and reliable & well maintained kit at competitive prices.
Keeping up-to-date in new & cutting edge technology, we hold a comprehensive hire inventory and supply equipment for a wide range of productions including drama, feature films, commercials, television, corporate & music promos. Our success in supplying the UK film, television and content production industry attests to our enthusiasm, attention to detail and commitment to performing at the very highest standards.
Many of our clients ask us to go beyond simply supplying kit and we’ll often provide crew, technical staff and ancillary production facilities to ensure a project is completed successfully. Many of our in-house staff are trained in camera operating, assisting and/or lighting, and we are able to draw upon a wide selection of talented freelancers for more specific roles.
Our people
Whilst the kit we invest in is a fundamental part of our business, the most valuable asset we have here at Shoot Blue is our staff.
From your initial consultation with our hire desk through to speaking to the technical and kit room team, we’ll engage with you and ensure that your requirements are met at every step.
Unlike many other rental houses, many of our staff have extensive production experience and on-set product knowledge. And should you require advice & suggestions, we are always available to advise you and recommend the best solution.

Shoot Blue have been my supplier of choice since 2007 ever since they were first recommended to me. Even if you're just doing a small shoot you're treated with the same care and attention as when you're on a big shoot and they go out of their way to accommodate your needs. Their prices are very competitive and the service is top notch and I always feel comfortable turning to them for advice and asking for recommendations on kit. When you hire their in house crew to work on your shoots the crew members are always really knowledgeable about the equipment and well trained, they are reliable and come to the set with a positive attitude and work hard to get the best results possible. I would highly recommend them to any independent filmmakers.

As a business owner, Director Shoot Blue has helped me build who I am as a story teller behind the camera. In my view the most important thing to my success as a story teller is knowing that I have a rental house you can always depend on. Shoot Blue has delivered outstanding service time after time again. Great job to the team 🙂

Shoot Blue are a fantastic rental firm with lovely staff and awesome equipment. They supported my recent commercial production very well indeed and I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend them to any size project. They deliverted and collected the kit as neccesary, modified the order when production requirements changed and generally helped the whole process go smoothly.
