We hire the specialist, not the seat.
The group runs on a tight permanent team, each covering their own specialism, with a trusted pool of videographers and crew we bring in per project. That keeps the overhead down and means you get the right person for the job rather than whoever happened to be free.
Charlie Canton
Director, DLTA Group · Co-founder, Rusty StuffCharlie runs the group and leads creative direction across production and consultancy. He co-founded Rusty Stuff, and the relationships behind it are the reason the company can supply what it does.
Hereford boy, London based, and fairly open about the fact that Wales is where he intends to end up. He works across three worlds that rarely overlap. Film and television, where the work lands. Fashion, where he shoots. Defence, where the kit comes from. Charlie moves between all three, and that is what gets a project crewed, dressed and delivered when it would otherwise stall.
He likes good coffee.
Harry Sigley
Costume Sourcing · Co-founder, Rusty StuffHarry sources and verifies uniform and specialist wardrobe. Direct relationships across the professional sporting and military sector give him procurement routes into UKSF and police clothing that sit well outside the general costume market, with further ties into professional security and rugby.
He is the reason a production can ask for something specific and get the real thing. Correct to the service, correct to the year, checked before it ever reaches a fitting.
He likes a proper game of rugby.
Hattie Dunckley
Media ConsultantCame up through brand ambassador roles across labels including Bridie and Bert, Peachy Belts, Mima Rose, Moomoda, Beach Bound, Beach Born Salcombe, The Pangolin Co, The Elipsis Project and Oxford Events. That run built the modelling network she now draws on daily.
She is also a natural host. Parties, Land Rover picnics at the races, tennis. Hattie knows people, and she knows which of them will hold up on camera. She sources models and talent for commercial, editorial and film work, and manages them from first shortlist through to shoot day.
She likes sun and boats.
Beyond the core team we work with a standing pool of videographers, camera crew and technical specialists. They are booked to the demands of the project rather than kept on payroll, so a job is staffed by people who do that specific thing regularly. Every project gets crewed to completion, whatever scale it lands at.
