autonomous
[aw-ton-uh-muhs]
adjective
To function independently.
An integrated motion picture service that works with you, your team and your clients like we are one of you.
Autoclave is neither a production company nor a ‘collective of filmmakers’.
It is the joint venture of multidisciplinary nerds Cam Stewart and David Goldsmith, a label and brand for our work.
Regardless of the production, we thrive on leveraging our knowledge and skills to empower creative minds to do their best work.
We specialise in the ‘edge-case’: when creativity risks failing due to technical, logistical or temporal issues, we know what to do.
enclave
[en-klayv]
noun
A distinct group, encircled by a larger one.
Cam Stewart
With a career in motion picture spanning more than a decade, Cam understands what a production needs to succeed.
A focus puller by trade, Cam’s practice has expanded into specialty camera services, building naturally on his 1st AC foundation.
Calm and collected, he brings an intricate understanding of both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking, always working to ensure the two are seamlessly bound on screen.
David Goldsmith
With experience spanning production and post, David brings a broad understanding of how images are captured, shaped, and delivered.
Starting as a data wrangler, his practice has evolved into on-set digital imaging, grounded in a strong technical foundation.
Focused and detail driven, he brings a considered and methodical approach to set, helping teams work fluidly while maintaining clarity and momentum.
Services
Camera & Focus
Camera department support built to keep productions moving with confidence. Spanning focus, operation, motion control, high-speed and gimbal/aerial, systems are built to integrate seamlessly into the workflow.
A calm, reliable camera environment that allows complexity to unfold without disruption. Technical demands are handled quietly in the background, giving creative eyes the space to refine the image while the set remains composed and focused.
Monitoring & VTR
On-set digital imaging designed to support real-time collaboration and decision making. Built around QTAKE, with live feeds, multi-camera recording, instant playback and real-time compositing.
Monitoring becomes an active creative environment rather than traditional video village. Flexible, reliable infrastructure supports experimentation while giving directors and clients the clarity to review, refine and respond while the set remains in motion.
Equipment
From providing a complete camera and/or compute package down to tracking down that one little thing to make something go, we have generally got it covered.
