Anthony Violanto Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Anyone check out the Planet Earth series by the BBC? The shots are amazing- I was trying to figure out how they got some of them- and then they answered it. This very interesting hot air ballon/ultra glider thing. check out the dvd about forests. While the camera man and pilot were in the contraption, it crashed. I found it very funny, although I bet the Camera Op wasn't laughing at the time. I will try to find a picture of it. Anyone else know of crazy un-known contraptions made for film/tv? ~anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Kareem La Vaullee Posted September 14, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The Balloon used by the BBC is called "Cinébulle" and is made by a french guy, here's his website : http://www.cleyet-marrel.com/ I met another guy making a Balloon based camera flying system but this one is remotely controlled, anyway also beautiful results, check it here : http://www.soulcam.fr/ K.

Anthony Violanto Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The soul cam is basically a remote controlled blimp. Very cool. Seems like less of a hazard- for the camera operator, that is. Wouldn't want that thing flying into me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
