I have worked with Leigh Hubner over the course of the last three years on some
of the biggest rating and highest profile sports events on Australian television in his
capacity as a Steadicam cameraman. These include Rugby League Finals and
Grand Finals, State of Origins and Test Matches and I can say with no hesitation
that Leigh is one of the best cameramen in his area of expertise. What sets Leigh
apart is that he is a cameraman with an artist’s sensibilities, and it is not
exaggerating to say that he created some of the set pieces that are now standard
practice for us. His gear is first class, well maintained and cutting edge; his attitude
is professional and he’s reliable. I have no hesitation in recommending Leigh to you,
and I wish him well in his endeavours.

I’ve worked with Leigh on a variety of shoots, including a Darren Hayes concert at the
Sydney Opera House and a music video for Axle Whitehead. We’ve shot digital
betacam, HD and 35mm film and some of the most memorable moments were Leigh’s
innovative Steadicam shots. On the live concert work, I was particularly impressed with
Leigh’s ability to not only get right up close to the action and track smoothly in long shots
from onstage continuing through to the audience, but to also operate the camera in a
more freeform mode. Leigh is my first call when it comes to any Steadicam work – in
fact I’d postpone a shoot to ensure we get Leigh on the job.

I have spent most of the past year travelling and working with Leigh and
as a producer you couldn’t wish for more in a cameraman. His
determination to get the job done was matched with the highest quality
of pictures delivered day after day, often in the most difficult of
circumstances. After working in several states with dozens of crews
Leigh is quite honestly my cameraman of choice and I have no hesitation
in recommending him. He’s up to the task and in my experience, never
disappoints.

When it comes to being a cameraman in the television and commercial
production industry, talent, attention to detail and quality work ethic are
prerequisites. When you find someone who excels with every attribute, you
clearly have a talented individual. Leigh Hubner is indeed that person.
As a producer at Cutting Edge, I have known Leigh in a professional capacity
for over two years. In that time I have seen him tackle a myriad of projects
fearlessly and head on.
Jack of all trades yes, but a master as well. Whether it be a simple green
screen studio shoot or Steadicam on a big budget, high end commercial, Leigh
always puts in 110% commitment.
Leigh has proven himself to be a creative DOP with an amazing eye, not
withstanding his ability to exhibit brilliant organisational and people skills.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for this highly motivated guy.
The industry that we love is in safe hands with people like Leigh and I am
confident that he will continue to excel. I would not hesitate to recommend
Leigh for any prospective project within our industry
