who we work with
​​Ascent Media takes to underwater work like a shark to surfers. Their gear works extremely well and comes with all the bells and whistles you need for a navy seal operation. The ability to communicate from above to below surface adds extra control and reduces time splashing around in the shallow end.
Cesar Salmeron - Director
The professionalism of the team at Ascent Media is exceptional. At every level – client relationship, quality of work, diligence and technical skills on the job, follow-through – all above and beyond my expectations. Superb and seamless streaming and video after. I have worked with many crews over the years and am delighted to recommend Sam O'Reilly and his crew at Ascent Media.
Eve Ash - Seven Dimensions
We have engaged Ascent Media to work on a number of projects for AusNet Services. This included; drone photography and videography, film editing, professional portrait photography, and much more. Without exception I have found all facets of their service to be of the absolute highest quality.
