The day’s session was spent putting together the Auto driving sequences and driver interviews for Rob Anderson’s supercharged hemi powered VG Valiant Ute.
I also was fortunate to have Terry Finocchiaro from Sienna Productions came along to help out with the activities so we could work out a workflow template for future shoots in the series. Terry will be concentrating mostly on the Angel shoots for each episode using the Arri Amira but he has worked with the team trackside many times for HighRPM so was keen to come down and try out some techniques rigging the on-car cameras.
There were definitely some constructive lessons learned and some new equipment already ordered to assist with better footage next session. Although stripping back the weight of the DSLR on board camera to the bare minimum and using a very sturdy Camzilla triple-suction mount we found that the combination of non-stabilized DSLR video plus a single fixture point made for some rather shaky footage at times which we can hopefully iron out in post. To mitigate this issue I have decided to go with the Spyder Pod vehicle camera mounting system from Digital Juice, it has a robust 3 point suction mounting system with 3 fixture point which will make for a rigid, no bounce platform to mount a reasonable weight of camera on (up to just over 22kg)
Next to organise will be the Angel shoot and we are currently going over a theme with our stylist Angie Barker and matching one of the numerous models who have put their hand up to be involved in the project.
