Cinematographer and director of photography in Pittsburgh, PA
PJ Horn is a Pittsburgh cinematographer and director with about fifteen years behind the camera on commercials, brand films and documentaries. Hire us to shoot your production, or to plan, shoot and finish the whole thing.
Cinematography for
- Commercials and brand films, like Rather Be Strong for Dick’s Sporting Goods and The Islands for the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium
- Documentary and stories, like Creator Spaces for The Andrew Effect Foundation
- Corporate films, like Colorful Communities for PPG
- Agency productions: we shoot to your creative and your delivery specs
- Aerial and FPV for openers, fly-throughs and big reveals (drone work)
On set
- Cinema cameras in 4K and 8K, lit properly, with clean sound.
- A small, efficient crew that keeps the day moving. For bigger days we bring in grips, gaffers and sound we trust, and you still deal with one team.
- Planning that saves the day: shot lists, locations and call times sorted before anyone arrives.
After the shoot
Editing, color grading, sound mixing and motion graphics all happen in house, so the footage goes straight from set into the grade. See the work.
Questions
Do you work with agencies and outside productions?
Yes. We’ve been lucky to work alongside some of the region’s best agencies. We’re happy to shoot to an agency’s creative, join an existing crew, or pick up footage that already exists.
What do you shoot on?
Cinema cameras shooting 4K and 8K, with lighting and sound to match, plus aerial and FPV drones when the story calls for it. Tell us your delivery specs and we’ll plan the package around them.
Can you handle color and post too?
Yes. Editing, color grading, sound mixing and motion graphics are all in house, so footage can go straight from the shoot into the grade.
Where are you based?
Gibsonia, in Pittsburgh’s North Hills. We work all over Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania and travel when a project needs it.
