camera department

Who are you?

Hi! I'm Esteban Favela. I’m an Assistant Camera/ Camera Operator in Las Vegas. I have worked on documentaries, commercials, live events and scripted features. I have always loved cameras and tech and when bundled with my organizational and multi-tasking skills it makes the camera department home. Being around cameras and working with awesome gear is what drives me and what I genuinely love to do.

I have also worked as a Digital Loader and as a DIT or what some productions call a “Media Manager” (Both often mixed up, definitions and differences can be found at this link).

I also have extensive travel show experience both national and international and am fully vaccinated.

what do you know?

I attended Sanford Brown College in Henderson, NV. where I graduated with a BFA in Cinema Production. I have also attended the Abelcine Alexa Intensive Masterclass and numerous ICG Local 600 Camera Courses. I’ve worked with the following cameras.

• Arri Alexa (Amira,Classic, Mini, XT, SXT, MiniLF, A35)
