MATTBEARDSLEYCREATIVE

Hi, I'm Matt!  I am a freelance cinematographer based in the San Francisco, California area.  I specialize in smooth camera movement – whether with gimbal, dolly tracks, hand held, underwater, from a helicopter, or by drone.

​

I am the arial cinematographer for Pacific Coast Gimbals, using helicopters and our GSS gimbal.

​

I have been using drones extensively in my work since before they were called drones and we had to make them ourselves. These days, I use a variety of heavy lift, FPV, and compact aerial platforms to fit any production.

​

I produce and direct a number of projects each year, including both commercial and documentary video.

​

Me as a person?  I have a big family, play the piano at my church in Oakland, and love long-distance swimming.  I have a degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and an MFA in Commercial Photography from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and have been working in cinematography and video production for 17 years.
