Troy Fairbanks

Hey, I’m Troy Fairbanks, the guy behind Fairbanks Films. I picked up a camera at nine and never really put it down. I spent my childhood running around filming anything that caught my eye, purely for the love of creating. That obsession turned into a career, and after more than 1,100 productions, I still get to do what I love: telling stories, helping brands connect with their audience, and showing the beauty and magic of life through film. I’m based in Denver and work with an incredible roster of freelance crew to bring ideas to life. That might be an action shoot full of energy, a dialed in commercial, an inspiring documentary, or a live event. My roots are in action sports. Racing downhill longboards taught me how to capture movement, speed, and raw moments while staying agile. Over the years I’ve come to love every kind of storytelling: big or small, fast or slow, indoors or on the side of a mountain, polished or gritty. Whatever the project, I’m focused on capturing the good stuff, like the energy, the emotion, and the little details that make a video stand out. We bring the right tools for the job. Our kit includes the Sony FX6 and FX3, the DJI Inspire 3 and Mavic 4 Pro, and a fleet of FPV drones for everything from tight, controlled shots to big, dynamic aerials. We also carry professional lighting and audio, tripods, gimbals, sliders, teleprompters, an Easyrig, and jibs and cranes. I’m an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot, and all aerial work is handled directly through Fairbanks Films. Every project is different, so we stay flexible. When efficiency is key, we run a lean crew with a small footprint to keep things moving fast and smooth. When the project calls for more, we go all in and build a full production team of trusted colleagues, including producers, directors, gaffers, audio techs, and camera operators. No matter the size, we deliver polished results with the right balance of efficiency, good vibes, and attention to detail. Need just a camera operator, director of photography, or aerial cinematographer? I’ve got you covered, whether I’m working solo or bringing in a team. Take a look at the videos on my profile, and if my style resonates with you, let’s grab a coffee or hop on a video call to see if I’m the right fit for your project.
