KEY PERSONNEL

All projects are managed and directed by James to preserve the standard of excellence that Arc Shot Media are known and respected for by their peers and clients.

Arc Shot MediaJAMES LOPES aka the boss
We’re unsure how James manages to actually sleep. He has been on shoots that have taken over 24 hours straight, and driven out into the middle of the desert just to film a sunset. If he does get to sleep, he’s been known to bolt out of bed at 3:30am in the morning to write a song, or scribble down a concept. He accepts that his brain only gives him that one chance to grasp the notion before it’s wiped from the hard drive forever.

Arc Shot Media

TIM aka ‘Lord Tim’
If there is concern over James’ sleep patterns, Tim takes it to a whole new level. Tim has done all of the above (with james) but THEN gone back to the edit suite, and continued on. Coffee is a close friend.

 

Arc Shot Media

MELISSA aka connection guru
First Melissa was a Rock Singer. Then a Graphic Designer. Then a Website Designer. THEN a Marketer. THEN a Producer. Possibly the most annoying thing about that is she excels in ALL of them.

 

Arc Shot MediaANDY aka resident drone pilot
Andy may have a couple of spare limbs, such is his dexterity at flying the DJI Inspire II. He loves two things… Snowboarding, and 4K footage… Oh, and pulling off complex shots. Ok.. 3 things.

 

Arc Shot MediaALICIA aka photographer extraordinaire
Alicia is our resident photographer. She does both Portraiture and Landscapiture. Like almost everyone else in this list, she is also very capable at shooting video. One of her fortés is nailing the perfect shot at live events.

 

Arc Shot Media

GERVAIS aka maestro
Gervais is an international recording star, who decided he didn’t have enough strings to his bow. He proves this with his prowess behind the Black Magic Cinema 4K camera.

 

Arc Shot Media
MELINDA aka beauty gal
Melinda has applied her makeup skills to TV shows, commercials and fashion catwalks. Her impressive list of clients range from The Bachelor to Chanel. From Virgin to Foxtel. She is one of the few people in the world allowed to apply makeup to James.
