for a home retail video
called "Core", a home work out product which will
be released early next year. |
Ken has worked
with Broadcast Rentals for about 10 years.
"We started working with Broadcast Rentals when they opened in San
Diego in the late 90’s. We were on a shoot using camera gear
supplied by another large rental company. As circumstances had it,
the camera we were renting developed a problem and the rental company
could not send out a replacement, since literally everything they
had was out on a huge job that day. Needless to say I was not happy.
I called Broadcast Rentals… and they rushed right up and replaced
the other camera that went bad from the other company. It was good
timing on everyone’s part and they really helped us out in a
pinch and since that point we have rented from Broadcast Rentals."
"Rather than “coming to the rescue”, Broadcast Rentals
has always been prepared for virtually anything. There are any number
of rental houses on the west coast who can supply cameras…but
Broadcast Rentals always goes that extra step and brings more than
what is needed as backup. There is never a mad rush back to the shop
if something goes wrong. They always bring a back up camera, a back
up deck and on rare occasions if there is an issue, there is always
a back up. There has never been a late night emergency because Broadcast
Rentals thinks well enough ahead to cover any emergencies."
"Customer Service is huge with Broadcast Rentals. They are very
responsive and have great people and help out as much as they possibly
can. Broadcast Rentals has always focused on how they service the
client and their customer service is fantastic. The equipment is well
maintained and the service is there when you need it."
"As far as the formats that we are using, we shoot mostly Standard
Def on DVcam format. As soon as our internal clients have a need for
HD, we will definitely call on Broadcast Rentals because of their
vast array of High Def Cameras and support gear.
Our favorite cameras are the D30 and 570s for multi camera shoots."

Crew
West recently worked with 60 Minutes and Evening News at John
McCain's house
in Sedona, Arizona. |
Satellite
trucks at Crew West's Sat West
headquarters in Phoenix. |
NBC
sent Dustin Farrell and Dennis Mahr
east to Louisiana to help out with
Hurricane Gustav coverage. |
Jim knows
the value of good gear and good people. "In my business, reputation
is everything. Some of the credit for my reputation has to go to Ozzie
and Broadcast Rentals. When I am hired to shoot a high profile interview
or a major sporting event, it is because of my track record with the
network. They know that they can count on me to get the job done.
Likewise, I count on Ozzie to supplement my inventory if I am short
on cameras, lighting or audio gear. I know that the equipment from
Broadcast Rentals is in top notch condition and that his people are
totally into making sure that my needs are met".
"When I first came to Phoenix, I literally had no gear. I met
Ozzie at a rental house just before braking out on his own...and I
was impressed by his sincere effort to insure that I got what I needed
and when I needed it. I have been renting from Broadcast Rentals since
their inception. Even with the amount of equipment that I now have,
it is impossible to keep up with the different formats and cameras
available and that is why I count on Broadcast Rentals. They have
bailed me out countless times....when a producer asks for a particular
item, Ozzie and his crew are there every time".
Ozzie responds, ..."Jim Farrell has built Crew West from scratch much
the same way that we have built Broadcast Rentals. We buy good gear.
We hire better people. We provide the best in terms of customer service.
We have been fortunate to have loyal customers like Jim and his team
move us forward over the last fifteen years. We couldn't have done
it without them!"
