Our VP, Pete Zappulla got his start as a camera operator and loves the opportunity to get his hands dirty when we do in house demos.
At dv Depot, we get a lot of requests for multi-camera shoots. Musical performances are the most common reason, but people also want to shoot boxing matches, corporate events and other things. We have an excellent HD/SD flypack we like to send on these shoots and decided to host a demo for our clients to get a better feeling for it.
Our flypack has 6 Marshall HD/SD LCD monitors.
The flypack can shoot with six cameras and is compatible with a variety of HD and standard definition cameras. It has a 16 channel mixer for audio.
While each camera records its shots separately, we can also do a live cut during taping. Some people want it recorded to a tape deck, but we can also record it to a Final Cut Pro file. The client can then open the project in FCP with a near finished product. This can speed up editing drastically.
The demo went over very well. We have an upcoming job with the system for six cameras shooting a Chinese language musical performance.
You can see more pictures from the demo at our flickr site.
Our flypack is ideal for doing live cuts of events.
