Stuart Nicholls - Freelance cameraman / Polecam owner / Editor / Director
Stuart has been working in the media industry for over 10 years now. Starting off as just a cameraman, he is now just as happy sat in the edit suite or swinging his pole over a large crowd..
Stuart did his training at Ravensbourne. From there he became a cameraman, working on everything from News for the BBC, ITN & Fox, to Documentaries for HTV to football coverage for Sky Sports.
Some interesting facts about him:
- He came up with the name Emagine Productions when he was only 14 in a graphic design lesson at school.
- He has the dubious claim to fame as being the first cameraman at the Potters Bar Rail Crash.
- He made Jenny Bond stand on a milk crate to get the perfect shot of the Queens Golden carriage coming out behind her during the BBC's coverage of the Golden Jubilee.
- He owns a Delorean like the one used in the 'Back to the Future' Films.
- He actually started his media career as a producer on radio. Had you have lived in Brighton you may have heard him on Southern Fm.
Additional Cameramen and full show crews
Emagine Productions have been providing crews for over 2 years now and we pride ourselves on only sending out crew that can get the job done, and done well with the minimum fuss.
From cameramen for live events to news crews with their own kit we can find what you need.
The crewing is looked after by Stuart Nicholls, and as a working cameraman / editor / director, he knows a good crew member when he sees one. We try and keep a core of good crew that we use regularly on all our jobs, to be honest we're more like a family. This means not only do we exceed our clients expectations technically, we can also have fun while doing it.
All of our guys and girls have vast experience in the media industry and it shows when they get on site.

- Full camera crew and vision mixer for a Schering-Plough sales conference with a live satellite link up to the US.
