Hi, I’m Huai Zhi, a freelance camera assistant and operator based in Singapore. Over the past four years I’ve worked with clients and production houses such as Oak 3 Films, Gorental, and Onedash 22, focusing on camera operation, rigging, and helping shoots run smoothly. I’m passionate about refining my craft and learning from every project, aiming to grow into a leading 1st Assistant Camera and, ultimately, a Director of Photography on larger productions. I enjoy collaborating with directors and DPs to shape visuals, plan shoots, and deliver clean, well-organized footage. I’m committed to continuous improvement, teamwork, and delivering strong on-set support and video content for social media and campaigns.
