Frenchy68 0 #1 May 27, 2004 Looking for someone who has/can shoot using a 35mm film camera while in freefall. Obviously not helmet mounted, but I know it has been done. Does anyone have any leads?

Cheers, Nick All of the big boys in the free fall cinematography game (Norman Kent, Joe Jennings, Tom Sanders, etc.) have helmet mounted 35mm motion picture cameras. Generally, it's some sort of modified MOS "gun" style camera. --DouvaI don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

I've shot 16mm in free fall, and it looks nice, but it's not 35mm. --DouvaI don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

JayhawkJumper 0 #10 May 29, 2004 You don't have to shoot with an IMO in freefall. I know of crystal sync Arri 35's being used in freefall. In fact, Arri contracted 2kcomposites to build a custom 35mm setup that they wanted to be able to rent out to film productions. They had it decked out with a heads-up display, ground to air video and everything, very impressive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
