About Us
Letters and words and stuff about LIAV. Placeholders are placeholders and definitely need to go in the bin
Bought some stuff from us. Cameras and that.
Pretty sure they make videos
Seen their web history... Weird taste in porn. Did they film some of it?
Rented a coach from us once. Sick lads. Paid us.
Previous
Next
Just mention fast cars and cameras and we're there!
Always a pleasure to work alongside the team at Hendy Performance... Especially when it involves a beast like this.

Back in December we produced a 3 part ‘mockumentary’ with our friends at @nmemagazine for the latest @fusergame release.
Featuring the loveable fool DJ Plugsy - a down on his luck DJ, battling his way to the top during Covid and national restrictions…with a giant plug for a head.
Shot at the epic @madlocations #theroost 🎥

We spent the start of this week shooting an incredible (top secret 🤫) event at the stunning @clivedenhouse
When sunset arrived, we couldn’t resist a golden hour flight with our @djiglobal Mavic mini 2…we’re only human after all.

An incredible day on set with the @nmemagazine team last week, shooting alongside @samarchitects & @leahviathan for the new @diabloimmortal release at @crazypigdesignslondon
Now we don’t want to say that the gaming rivalry between these two was intense, but security did have to step in once or twice 🥊💥😂
Head over the NME socials to check out the full video!

Where do we even start? ❤️ William
& Ella, two of the nicest souls we’ve met on this craziness we call a job.
Getting married at one of the most unbelievable venues located in Ravello, off the Amalfi Coast in Italy 🇮🇹 . The 34 Degree Heat kept us more than on our Toes for this one.
Massive shoutout to the @apollolivemusic family, and also a huge thankyou to the INCREDIBLE @chelseawhitephotog - what a woman, and what a photographer! ❤️
It almost feels like a crime to try and explain anymore of the day, so we’ll let the reel do the talking…

Back with the @hendygroup team shooting the always brilliant @tiff_needell & @jameshedley67
Amazing to be able to see mindsets from different generations coming together to talk about their love and passion for the sport.
Shooting on the always reliable and basically indestructible @sony FX3’s, we’re excited to get this edit online!…🎥🏎

This job provides us with heaps of ‘pinch me’ moments, and this Wedding was absolutely one of them.
We’ve shot a lot of dance floors in our time, but this lot were something else 🕺🏽💃🏼
An unbelievable day from start to finish, and one that will be absolutely impossible for us to forget in a hurry!

CRADLE OF FILTH • LIVE STREAM
We’ve just about landed back on planet earth after shooting the @cradleoffilth Live Stream on Sunday.
This is our second time being welcomed into the ‘Crewdle Of Filth’.
Genuinely one of the most welcoming setups we’ve ever been a part of, and a team Hell-Bent in putting on one of the best live shows we’ve experienced.
Not our first, and we’re sure it won’t be our last! Massive shoutout to @danifilthofficial and the rest of the team!
STAY FILTHY! 🤘🏼
