ABOUT US

Jay Spain
Founded in 1982, On Location NC Film & Video specializes in equipment rental and crewing services—without competing with full-service production companies. Many of our clients are production teams working remotely in North Carolina from other states or countries. Our mission is to provide seamless, non-competitive support to these teams, offering top-tier equipment and experienced crew members. Over the years, we have served clients across most of the 50 states, as well as Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Equipment Rentals & Expert Crewing

While we offer professional, vetted crew members—including DPs, Camera Operators, and Sound Engineers—most of our work focuses on equipment rental, sometimes paired with a local gaffer, grip, or PA in the extended Raleigh area. We provide crew for both union and non-union projects, as North Carolina is a right-to-work state with an active union presence. Our team consists of top-tier freelance professionals, ensuring the highest standards of quality and reliability. We are fully insured, with workers' compensation coverage and corporate auto insurance for our truck drivers.

Remote Streaming and Production

We also offer remote streaming solutions, allowing clients to supervise or conduct interviews from anywhere in the world. For example, we facilitated a remote interview for the Smithsonian Channel, setting up a green screen in a New Bern, NC hotel while the interviewer directed the session from Berlin, Germany.

Seamless Delivery Options

We provide flexible video and sound delivery options based on client preferences, including:

  • Secure digital uploads to proprietary platforms,

  • Google Drive, or other cloud services.

  • Hard drive shipments for high-resolution files or larger projects.

 

At On Location NC, we prioritize a client-focused, stress-free process, ensuring every production runs smoothly—on time, on budget, and with professional polish.
 Contact us today for your local equipment rental and crewing needs.
 

By Appointment Only – Email or Call and Leave a Message Any Time of Day.

We know that production schedules are not always 9 to 5, so we operate On Location NC without a storefront. We meet when needed. We also offer delivery and pickup of rental gear. 

Please email or call anytime and leave a voicemail, and our on-call production manager will return your call ASAP.
