It's all about the

PROCESS

Hello, my name is Christopher Aylward. I'm often asked what drives me. Simply put, I love to create. Whether behind the lens of my cinema camera, at the controls of my drones or at the workstation during post-production, I love to bring visuals to life.

I'm passionate about the entire process of creating. The stages of planning, location scouting, capturing the visuals and process of post-production. I enjoy every aspect.

I also enjoy meeting new people, and would love to sit down with you to discuss your project. I have the talent, tools and resources to bring your project to life.

I'm passionate about what I do and have a personality that makes it easy to conduct business. It's all about the process.

Let's talk.

Here's a short list of some of the gear I use:

This can be discussed during our initial meeting.
