About

My name is Sonja Stark of PilotGirl Productions. I’m a female DP, videographer, editor and streaming tech. I’ve shot productions all over the world. Since 1995, at least 70 countries (I’m also a travel writer on the side). I have decades of experience shooting and editing ENG, broadcast, documentary, web, commercial, industrial, educational and non-profit. I’ve earned several New York State Emmy Awards and a National Broadcaster Award while working for CBS-TV. Certifications include New York State Women in Business Enterprise, FAA Part 107 UAS and PADI open water SCUBA certification license. I own the Sony FX9 6K as well as the Sony FS7. I can live stream using 4 cellular bonded services with my LIVEU 200 encoder for ENG work or the AJA encoder for local streaming. I also own the Sony alpha A7sIII DSLR camera and DJI Ronin-S for b-roll requiring a gimbal. I rely on the the 18-110mm ENG lens alongside other Sony e-mounts & primes. I also own Sachtler and Miller tripods, the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, multiple GoPro kits, DJI Osmo, 9-foot Dana Dolly slider, HMI Joker 400, green screens, 1×1 LED lighting, 15″ teleprompter, wired/wireless/shotgun audio kits and more.
