Some pretty killer loop de loops ( wow, how long has it been since i have said loop de loop ) went down yesterday in Los Angeles , and a sea of Epics where there to capture the entire event for the Bandito Brothers, lensed by our good friend D.P Mitch Amundsen.

Our Brian Henderson was there to cover it all..

 
Here are some photos from the shoot -

We spent all day there capturing footage and stills and supporting the post. Bandito had it edited, graded and up on youtube a few hours later. All footage cut on the HP Z820 RED Edition and we will have some BTS soon - thanks to Cleigh Reed for getting the EPIC grabs.

BTW - they pulled 7Gs and a quote from the driver 'it's about following the black line and not passing out'

Looked like a fun shoot. Amazing how fast the turnaround for RED footage is now...

Yes indeed.. I forgot to mention that Adobe was there as well in full force. It really is great to see a software company ( Adobe ) and a hardware company ( HP ) so into this stuff that they find excuses to come out and support these events for ' R&D purposes ' heh heh heh...

All fun aside.. it really does help... the blind dedication of these two companies is really helping take things to the next level which takes the sting out of ridiculous turn-arounds ( excuse the pun ) like this.
 
That drive looked scary, I must be getting old. It's sunny but it looks like the Epics have no ND unless there are screw on filters I can't see. What's the deal? Super fast shutters and small aperatures???
 
It looks like the apertures are closed with high shutter speeds on most of the cameras, but on the camera shooting the interior of the car, there must be at least a screw on filter, because the background is out of focus. I think that the event was a one time thing, and happened so fast maybe they didn't want to worry about focus pulling and what not on most of the rigs. Just to be on the safe side they left it closed so everything was in focus.

Fun! And, a word I use very seldom, Awesome! I like seeing the 8mm Nikkor fisheyes. Gotta pull mine out and go play...
 
Dang, the only thing that could have made that cooler is if Red's logo was on the bottom of the cars as they went off the jump!
