I'm Ben Mezups, a Sydney-based freelance videographer with 10+ years' experience spanning broadcast television, live event coverage, and corporate video production. I shoot on three 4K-capable Sony bodies, with audio fed directly from venue soundboards, and I can run either a single wide-shot setup or a two-camera (wide + close-up) arrangement depending on the moment. I'm comfortable working independently in fast-paced live environments, delivering fast turnarounds and maintaining strong communication with clients and venue staff. Beyond events, I’ve shot theatre work for NIDA and studio recordings with singers and choirs, and I always aim to keep things friendly, professional, and reliable from pre-production through delivery.
