amera movement...that is what we are all about!  You may not always see us on screen, but we have been here a long time... Since 1945 Chapman Studio Equipment has been supplying camera support equipment to various productions. From feature films, commercials, television series, music videos to infomercials, Chapman has moved it, helping to create many of the memorable scenes we all know today!

All along, Chapman has been involved with camera movement.  Chapman equipment, under the careful direction of the Director, Director of Cinematography and Dolly Grip, has created moments of fear, impact, loneliness, confusion and many other emotions that camera movement can enhance for a scene.

Chapman is continuing to develop new and improved ways to move the camera. Combining old techniques with new, it is our goal to accommodate the Director and Director of Cinematography in their creative process and obtain the image they want to etch on film.

We are proud to celebrate over 50 years in camera support... We look forward to many new projects in the future and will continue our tradition of quality equipment.
