Soar higher with Sonja Stark of PilotGirl Productions








My name is Sonja Stark of PilotGirl Productions. I’m a DP, editor, and streaming tech. I’ve shot productions in over 80 countries on every continent. I have decades of experience in the ENG, broadcast, documentary, web, commercial, educational, and non-profit industries. I’ve won several New York State Emmy Awards, National Broadcaster Awards and AP awards. I am certified as a New York State WBE and I carry a FAA Part 107 UAS license. I’m also a PADI open water SCUBA diver. I own the LIVEU encoder for ENG work, the AJA encoder for local streaming, the Sony FX9 and FS7 along with the Sony Alpha A7sIII DSLR camera for 4K capabilities. The DSLR can be mounted to the DJI Ronin-S for OTS movement. I own multiple GoPro kits, DJI Osmos, a 9-foot Dana Dolly slider, an HMI Joker 400, large green screens, 1×1 LED lighting, a 15″ teleprompter, and Lectrosonic wired/wireless/shotgun audio kits and more. I’m a stickler for detail and go to great extremes to perfect shots with proper framing, lighting, and audio. I’m extremely flexible, prepared, and punctual. I come with great ideas and a wonderful assistant to help with gear. I collaborate well with others’ ideas and deliver the final deliverables in record time.
(I have lots of older equipment that I’d like to sell or donate so if you’re interested in cameras, lighting, or audio gear that still stands the test of time, contact me!)
