Meet Our Team of Pilots & Cinematographers

Douglas Mizzi

Chief Pilot & Cinematographer - QLD

Ashley Cripps

CASA Pilot & Cinematographer - QLD

Douglas is the owner of SkyBiz and an experienced videographer, editor photographer and pilot. His passion for creativity is what drove SkyBiz from a simple idea years ago to a company that fulfils his vision to provide great service and quality deliverables through the use of high tech equipment that is affordable for all small to medium size companies that want the opportunity to promote themselves professionally.

As a small business Douglas understands the stresses and time constraints on business owners and event co-ordinators to organise anything outside their main focus of work. Working with SkyBiz takes the pressure of organising these events through close personal communication with the client. His ability to work well with people and understand their brief and spec is part of what makes for a successful end product. 

Douglas's experience in videography goes back as far as the 80's when filming and editing on old mediums like tape was definitely an art in itself. 

He  has experience in photographing major events, products and equipment  and can interpret the creative vision to deliver the clients brief in full. 

Ashley is a major and integral part of SkyBiz and is also an experienced videographer, editor, photographer and pilot. He has a degree in graphic design which allows him to see certain shots in a totally different perspective, wether its on film on print. 

He has an amazing eye for creativity  and is as an experienced video and post production photographic editor. Understanding industry standard production suites Ashley is able to take the film shot and create a final edit to meet client expectations.

Ashley's love of street photography, aerial video vistas and technical excellence is what sets him apart and makes him an excellent cinematographer.

He has a decades experience in media, artwork and photography and a keen love of aviation, so as UAV and drone technology started to become more accessible in recent years it was an easy transformation to combine these two passions to create the perfect amalgamation of creativity.
