Hartnett Media: Making a Career out of Filming Cars

Ben, otherwise known as Hartnett Media, is one of the very best cinematographers in the car world (at least we think so!). Working across the globe with a JDM focus, we got to know Ben's approach, filming gear, and experiences shooting for F1 teams and travelling the US, Japan and Middle East as a creative.

Thank you Nick & Tom for interviewing Ben. It was a great interview so nice of you to observe what I have got to see him do for many years. He also won a media award for his sailing work (Sailing Shack on YT) and competed at an international level. He is too humble to say these things but as his dad I can brag. Ha!

You should be very proud! We are so glad you enjoyed it :)

Just wanted to appreciate you for getting Ben on your podcast. One of the reasons I started filming cars here in Sydney. Crazy how he could create bangers after bangers with in an A7sii and ronin M for years when the whole world had upgraded to the latest gear.

[@Driver_88]

Really glad we could provide some value man :)

[@ebenmullin]

Yea Im also curious how he manages to get so smooth shots. I have the ronin rs2 but cant get shots as smooth. maybe he slows the footage and adds post stabilzation?
