Tracking Vehicle
Clients kept asking us, "can you film out of the back of our vehicle" and that's where we started working on our tracking set up.
As clients are looking to save costs on multiple crews. Our simple but highly effective tracking solutions means you can get stunning, stable, high quality results at a fraction of the cost of hiring a second crew.
Having had tracking experience working for brands such as Ford, Jaguar, Virgin, Roborace and Charge, we're more experienced than ever before, with drivers licensed to drive on well known proving grounds such as Millbrook and shooting regularly on well known tracks such as Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
Utilising gimbal systems such as the Movi Pro, Movi XL and DJI Ronin 2 means we can mount a wide variety of different camera packages, ranging from smaller systems such as the Sony FS5 right up to the Arri Amira, Alexa Mini, Phantom Flex or a fully loaded RED, all with a wide variety of lens options with full FIZ lens control.
A Special Mention...
Our love for stable shots doesn't just stop in the air. We're constantly looking at new ways to offer stabilised cinema to production companies.
We’re proud to offer 2 systems in this field;
The Motion Impossible Agito system which is predominantly used for live broadcast clients as well as feature film clients.
The second is the Freefly Systems Tero which carries smaller payloads such as the Movi Pro with a RED or Arri camera.
We're currently working on a brand new showreel, showcasing some of our tracking work so do check back soon when this is online and if you have any questions about our tracking set up or the vehicles we can mount to, then please do get in touch with the office on 01142994333.
