SpeedRig prototype out shooting

Ketch Rossi took some pics of the SpeedRig prototype during a 3D shoot with his Epic M's in Hollywood. Thanks Ketch!

3D Red Bull Commercial

Here's the 2d version of the 3D Red Bull spot we worked on with Brain Farm. Directed by Curt Morgan with our Stereographer. We did the 2D to 3D conversion as well as the 3D online, color and mastered the DCP's for cinema release. It was a 3 day shoot, using rigs from Paradise Effects (our SpeedRigs were still being manufactured :) shot mostly on Red MX's also using IndieCams for the POV shots. Using Cable Cams, Technocranes, an Ultimate Arm on a AMG Mercedes and a CineFlex on a helicopter it is probably one of the most dynamic 3D shoots so far.

The 60 sec 3D version can be seen this summer in front of Transformers 3D, Thor and Pirates of the Caribbean 3D and is now airing in 2D on TV.

XChart now available..

 

We have been using the XChart 3D and HDR alignment chart on every shoot we've been on for the past year and are now making them available to other 3D professionals. Shoot the XChart full frame every time you do a lens or focal length change and your post guys will save a lot of time on lens distortion fixes. We will put up a page describing it's use soon.

Price $250, contact us if interested.

Motor Control operational

This video shows a Optimo 16-42 and a Optimo 30-80 tracking perfectly as a 30-42 zoom using our new motor control system. We are using a Preston HU2 (our handset is not finished) with our RF attached, it's also networked via WiFi and using the apple touch for motor assignment, tracking and real time RF moves. Our IOD Calc app works within the motor controller app and can set up the rig instantly.
