Behind the scenes, in the helicopter with TGR crew and 21st Century 3D

[Pedro Guimaraes]

TGR just posted part 2 of the behind the scenes video of the latest 3D TGR movie I worked on with stereographer Jason Goodman of 21st century 3D.

Had just an amazing time flying around and working with everyone. Haven't seen the footage yet in all it's glory so I can't wait to watch it tonight.

Great work by everyone.

Certainly is great work. I have a heli 3D shoot of city aerials coming up and would love to know what IA you went with on the landscape shots??

Well with the tyler mid mount we limited to 6" the whole time. Months after this shoot I did 2 more days of helicopter shooting for a upcoming 3D feature and we had a Tyler major mount. This allowed for us to vary the IO from 6-12".

The trick is working with the Pilot and the talent/object and finding the right angles, approaches, patterns to maximize the effect with whatever stereobase you are using.

With 6" of IO you really have to get danger close to talent/objects (in a helicopter) to get something that works well.

I have seen helicopter nose mounts with up to 2' of IO....I'm sure you could rig even larger IO if the cameras are fixed and do not need to be operated.

also as always in 3D....just go out and shoot it! see what happens ; )
