Cineflex- Grand Canyon
2 years ago
Aerial Filmworks is working with the Grand Canyon National Park to film the national park using the Cineflex V14HD. This amazing gyro-stabilized aerial system uses an integrated Sony CineAlta HDC1500 camera with 42x 9.7mm Fujinon lens. All footage was recorded 1080/23.98p dual-link 4:4:4 to a Sony SRW1 deck on HDCAM SR tape stock.
The original HDCAM SR source tapes were digitized using an AJA Kona3 card to a MacPro 8 core with 17Gb RAM, and edited with Final Cut Pro at our inhouse edit suite.
The Cineflex V14HD was mounted on the nose of a Bell 206B3 Jet Ranger helicopter. We worked closely with the national park to make sure all permissions and permits were in place. Daily updates to local air traffic control and the tour helicopter companies were sent on flight days. Our pilot was specifically approved for the operation by the FAA and Department of Interior. We mapped reference points to the GPS and input sensitive condor nesting areas that we needed to avoid. Natural resource and wildlife managers reviewed our flight plans.
The Aerial Filmworks team believes in doing our part to maintain a carbon neutral planet. Through a partnership with TerraPass, we invest in carbon offsets for every hour of flight time that our Cineflex equipment is on a helicopter.
All Grand Canyon clips are available as HD stock footage.

Great that you offset emissions. Leave no trail, good motto for anyone caring for nature.
But it all reminds me on BBC's Planet Earth (HD), Part 3, Fresh Water
Absolutly AMAZING work!!!
The music? What is the music?

I too echo the call for HD!
Too bad its not in HD.
:(
Had the chance to fly a couple times over Berlin with such a system.
Paperwork is always nasty. Flying in the governmental district in Berlin was as hard as it can get in Germany when it comes to permission.
So this was not recorded on the SRW-1 but with a mac with 16Gigs RAM amazing!
cheers
We recorded to HDCAM SR on the SRW1, then those tapes were digitized using FCP. Sorry for the confusion!

Second, I want to know when (and where) can I buy the Blueray :D
I'm from Portugal and I have always dreamed about visiting the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to travel to the States, yet.
Best regards.

Brilliant nonetheless
