Built on Set. Born From Frustration.
The gear you need rarely exists. The gear that does exist was designed by someone who has never actually used it in the field. So we started building our own.
15 Years. Every Kind of Production.
Over fifteen years on set teaches you one thing fast: the right tool rarely exists, and when it does, it was designed by someone who has never actually used it in the field.
From corporate events and commercial shoots to tracking vehicles chasing Formula One cars around Melbourne's Albert Park circuit, every production brought a new challenge, a new gap in what was available, and a new reason to find a better way.
Complex rigging problems. Tight timelines. Clients who expected the impossible. Working with startups and global brands alike, the one constant was always the same: if something did not exist, you built it yourself.
“Too hard” was never an option
on any production I have ever worked on.
Solving Problems
No One Else Would Touch.
The film and television industry moves fast, and it does not wait for the right product to exist. On set, you either solve the problem or you do not get the shot. Over years of rigging cameras to things that probably should not have cameras on them, one habit formed: when the tool did not exist, the tool got made.
That meant learning to design and 3D print custom parts, brackets, mounts, docks, organisers, built around how a real set actually operates, not how a product catalogue assumes it does. Not designed for a spec sheet. Designed for 2am when something needs to work.
A Few Good People Said “You Should Sell These.”
It started as personal gear. Parts made for my own production company, things that solved my own problems, built to last, tested on my own jobs. Then the people around me started noticing. DPs, ACs, focus pullers, operators, all asking where they could get one.
The same message kept coming from close friends and colleagues in the industry. I heard it enough times that I finally listened. 3D Film Parts was not born from a business plan. It was born from a community.
Built With the Filmmaking Community, for the Filmmaking Community.
3D Film Parts was not launched out of a pitch deck or a boardroom. It came out of a genuine love for problem-solving, a deep respect for the craft, and a community of filmmakers who are just as obsessed with getting the shot as we are.
Every product in this store started as a solution to a real problem on a real production. Every design is tested by the people who actually work on set. And we are just getting started, because there are still a lot of problems out there that nobody else wants to tackle.
The Way We Work
Set-First Design
Every product is conceived, tested and refined on real productions. If it does not survive a 14-hour shoot, it does not ship.
No Too-Hard Basket
The problems nobody else wants to solve are the ones we find most interesting. Complexity is an invitation, not a reason to walk away.
Community Driven
This store exists because filmmakers asked for it. The products that get built next are shaped by the people using them on set every day.
Every Product Starts on Set.
