Revoflite Helicam – Thailand, Chiang Mai

This movie is filmed by the Polish Roveflite team. Most of the shots are taken at Royal Park Rajapruek in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The heli can be mounted almost with every camera, as long as it doesn’t exceed the 5 kilo amount which the helicam can carry. One of the cameras used in this movie is the Canon EOS 5D. The heli uses a gyroscope so the images are not affected by the vibrations of the flight. There are 2 pilots involved: one person who remote controls the helicopter and one person filming. The maximum speed of the helicopter is aprox. 100kph.

Update: Apparently they locked the video.. :(

 

BBC Life – Plants, behind the scenes

In this video you can have a view behind the scenes of the making of a scene from ‘Plants’.  For making this episode from the ‘Life’-series BBC uses high speed-camera’s and above all extreme time lapses. A lot of work is involved making those movie fragments and there is even a scene which takes the crew about two years in total to make.

Update: BBC heeft deze video verwijderd van YouTube.

Snail timelapse

On the Internet I found this interesting movie. Normally when we see snails on the ground or something we see like one frame of their whole life. We can’t see exactly what they are doing unless you have much time and have the patience to study them of what they are doing and where they are going. The following movie is a timelapse of snails coming out during the rain and makes you see the snails from a different perspective because. The movie is made by Chase Rees with a RED One camera.
