About

I’m William Novy, an IATSE Local 728 member based in Los Angeles, and I’ve spent 20+ years crafting cinematic visuals for features, television, streaming, documentaries, and branded content. As a cinematographer and gaffer, I collaborate closely with directors, producers, agencies, and production teams to lead camera and lighting departments from concept through post—keeping the visual story consistent while meeting the realities of each shoot.

I enjoy building a clear visual language for everything from narrative interviews to promotional material, and I’m hands-on with the technical and production details that make that vision work on set. From camera operation and advanced lighting and grip to practical post support like DaVinci Resolve, basic Premiere workflows, and color correction, I bring a calm, professional approach that helps teams deliver polished results under tight schedules.
