“He came at all hours of the day and night to capture the right light, the right atmosphere and all the feels!”

Why FanCast
Built here, crewed here
- Broadcast-trained. Founder Dave Maguire came up through international sports broadcasting, so shoots run to time and live productions hold together.
- A local crew. We would rather build a crew in Queenstown than fly one in. It is better for the work and better for the people learning the trade.
- We plan for Central Otago. The light and weather change hour to hour. We schedule around them and shoot the wide frames when conditions turn.
- Fast turnaround. Reels are delivered within 5 business days, and build content goes out the week it is shot.
Our sister school

FanCast founder Dave Maguire also runs CamerAcademy, a camera and content creation school in Queenstown.
