Shoot. Edit. Organize.

In December we had the opportunity to shoot with Corrosion Engineering, where we used  GoPros to capture slow motion, and our jib to film stunning shots of their large machines. This week, we had the pleasure of working with them again, in order to gain additional shots for their Design to Delivery video.

 

For the best results, we used our glidecam to shoot additional scenes in the quality control areas and the lab. Corrosion Engineering's product depends on using rubber with added solutions, which requires testing each batch for consistency and quality.  We do similar practices here at PrimeImage, as we constantly check and go through every video we produce to meet our client's satisfaction.

As we continue to test out our new helicopter, we were ready to try it with a HDSLR.  Our team mounted the camera and connected the transmitters to our glasses, which gave us an idea of what the camera was shooting. We were a bit nervous, as the only thing holding the camera on was one small screw. But after a few pre-flight checks, it was ready to soar.

Using the HDSLR had a substantial difference in the quality of what we were able to shoot as opposed to the lighter cameras we used. However, the Canon 5D was heavier and drew much more power while taking longer to get off the ground. Overall, we like using both cameras, but believe a lighter camera results in footage with more stability. For our future projects with this new piece of equipment, we will decide what works best for the video regarding the environment.

 

Back at the studio, we are always trying to imagine ways to utilize our space to the best of its potential. With our primary set on one side, we decided to use the spaces behind it to store our bigger lights and stands. Our team creatively brainstormed ideas and were able to hang the lights using its own weight, while also storing our stands in a similar fashion.

We are always looking to improve our services, whether it's with new equipment, or through steady organization. Next week, half our team will be in San Jose for three exciting projects while our other team will be shooting at a mine.
