Push the Boundaries
Cameras & Equpment
REDROCK MICRO M2 35MM LENS ADAPTER
*HVX200 rented separately.


$400 per day including an amazing set of Zeiss and Nikon lenses.

The Redrock adapter works beautifully with my HVX P2 camera. It allows you to use fast 35mm to give you a shallow depth of field. Here is an example of footage shot with the Redrock and the HVX.












PANASONIC HVX200P 1080i P2 Camcorder


Shooting P2 $450 / Day
(Any of the following formats are possible)
-DVCPRO HD (High Def 1080i/60i, 720p/60p, 720p / 30pn, 720p / 24pn)

-DVCPRO50 (Standard Def 480i / 60i)
-DVCPRO (Standard Def 480i / 60i)
-DV (Standard Def 480i / 60i)

Shooting DV tape $350 / Day

DV Tapestock, 1hr record time (if tape used is $15.00 ea.)

P2 Footage can be transfered off to my Panasonic P2 Store ($100.00 per day) for upload to your computer later. It reads and transfers the P2 footage faster than real time so the cards may be reused over and over. It has a 60gb HD and is run either by battery or AC power.

We can also use a firewire hard drive which we can use to download HD footage to. The drive does not have to be blank. I can either loan one to your project which can be returned to me when you are done uploading or you can bring one of your own if you would like. Periodically, I or my P2 camera assistant would need to spin the footage off to HD. This process is simiar to changing a film mag. Folders are created on the download drive and your footage is dropped in.

A third option, if we need to be recording HD 1080 non stop for a long period of time, we can use a FireStore FS-100 Drive. The drive is an additional $150.00 rental per day, but will allow 1.5 hours of record time.

*the cool thing about doing the P2 (if you have not used it before) is that when you get to editorial you just dump it into the timeline of your non-linear system and skip all log and capture / uploading. So, it's a process where you need to make some choices upfront (format, data transfer etc.), but it saves time later in post.

Aaton LTR-54 Super-16mm sound film camera.
Color tap, precision speed control, PL mount, 5 mags, 5 on-board batteries, Zeiss 12-120 Super 16mm lens, Chrosziel matte box, extension eyepiece, and more. Inquire for package price.

My Aaton has been busy shooting commercials for AIG, State Farm, Island Insurance, Queens Hospital, First Hawaiian Bank, etc.. We took the Aaton to Illinois to shoot 4 commercials for Swedish American Hospital for Shooters Film Production. The shoot went fantastic and stills can be found on my Behind Camera page.

Aaton cameras are excellent for shooting handheld, very comfortable and very quiet. Aaton cameras were just used recently for the filming of March Of The Penguins.

GlideCam V-8

The Glidecam V-8 revolutionizes the world of camera stabilization by finally bringing and advancing the technology of body motioned camera stabilization to cameras weighing up to 10 pounds.
Simply combine one of the new lightweight Digital Camcorders with a Glidecam V-8 and you'll have one of the best video acquisition tools available. The Glidecam V-8 Professional Camera Stabilization System allows you to walk, run, go up and down stairs, shoot from moving vehicles and travel over uneven terrain without camera instability and shake. The glidecam V-8 is designed primarily for use with lightweight video camcorders like the HVX200. The Glidecam V-8 is perfect for shooting the type of super smooth tracking shots that take your audience's and client's breath away. The V-8 instantly adds high production value to every scene. With the V-8 camera stabilizer you will be able to produce the type of ultra smooth handling shots that until now were only achievable with very expensive Steadycam rigs. When it comes to the art of stabilizing cameras that are very lightweight, it quickly becomes apparent that the main virtue of a body-mounted system is that it allows you to shoot for long periods of time with very little fatigue.
