Stay at home, soon everything will be better!
At the first meeting with the producers, I learned that no one but David Guetta was allowed on the helipad during the shoot. They asked for a solution that would still allow us to get good shots. The location was extremely challenging because the limited space and weight restrictions on the helipad didn't allow for cranes or camera people. Since we were only filming one person in front of a DJ table, moving cameras were needed to cover the entire area. The Blackcam Systems gave me exactly that flexibility. It allowed us to capture not only the artist's performance, but also the light and video show around him. The uncomplicated setup and smooth design of the dollies also helped a lot with the drone shots of the set, because it meant we didn't have a large, distracting camera in the frame..
There were some hurdles to overcome for this unique location. I'm glad that we had Blackcam on site for this assignment, who on the one hand provided impressive shots with their systems and in combination with our ARRI SRH-3 stabilized remote head and the ARRI AMIRA and ALEXA Mini cameras made it possible to work comfortably and perfectly.
