12th September, 2011
For the fourth consecutive year, ONSIGHT’s Edit Rental Department supplies and supports the systems to capture The Tour of Britain 2011 for Century Television.
Multiple HD capable Avid systems were installed a week in advance to prepare for this extensive live coverage of Britain’s biggest cycle race. It stretches from Scotland to London with 8 memorable stages, involving some of the world's top cyclists. Our Camera Rental department also gets involved, providing XDCAM HD cameras.
Peter Gabriel's Musical Event arranged in 3D
08th September, 2011
ONSIGHT and Eagle Rock Entertainment have joined forces again, this time for the concert film, Peter Gabriel: New Blood Live In London. As 3D pioneers, we were more than happy to assist Eagle with their 3D debut.
Shot at the Hammersmith Apollo in Stereoscopic 3D, we provided 3D minicams alongside Telegenic’s studio style cameras and facilitated full lab and post services.
New Feature Film uses the Alexa camera
07th September, 2011
Congratulations to the team for completing the shoot of AFG (working title). This is a production for Salt Film, written and directed by Tom Petch. ONSIGHT is pleased our Camera Rental department could provide the high performance ARRI Alexa for a feature film. We also supplied the Sony F3.
Shot in the Morroccan desert over the summer meant that conditions were particularly challenging, but the Alexa using Optimo zoom lenses stood up to the test. Stuart Bentley, DoP, said, “Nothing proved to be a problem - from dust, blazing heat, extreme contrast or long hours, the Alexa handled it all.”.
3D Recognition at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival 2011
10th August, 2011
Congratulations to our clients Atlantic Productions for Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough and Oxford Scientific Films in association with Principal Large Format for Meerkats 3D, in reaching the short-listed stage within ‘Best 3D Program’ at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival. It is fantastic to see these projects recognised at this renowned competition for natural history filmmakers. It is confirmed that a record number of entries were received and judged by over sixty judges from around the world.
ONSIGHT played a significant part by providing production equipment and full post production services to two out of the three finalists. BAFTA award winning Flying Monsters 3D for National Geographic and Sky 3D was hugely challenging, but equally satisfying as we helped to bring to life the prehistoric world under the creative direction. Meerkats 3D, again for Sky 3D, was a delight as our team got up close to these popular creatures and supported the development of an immersive natural habitat the viewer can almost touch.
New Atom Rig and Epic Cameras are Added To our Fleet
21st July, 2011
With technology innovation always in mind, our camera team has developed a lightweight high resolution Stereo 3D shooting package. The solution uses a combination of the new Element Technica Atom rig and Epic cameras from RED Digital Cinema, which we have recently received.
Although the size of a rig can be an issue at times, this fusion takes advantage of the small form factor of the Epic and still allows for full-sized PL mounted lenses. The result is a 5K-3D setup offering superior resolution than comparative systems, whilst weighing as little as some 35mm camera packages.
