ASC explores the aerial photography field

David Wiener American Cinematographer (USA) (Usa) August, 2000 Bird's-Eye View ASC explores the aerial photography field The concept of providing a miniature remote-control helicopter camera platform to the entertainment industry was first made commercially practical in 1988, when Emmanuel Previnaire founded Flying-Cam, Inc., in Liege, Belgium. The demand for Flying-Cam's services led to the 1994 opening of an additional office in Santa Monica, California. The company's breakthrough moment came on July 11, 1989, when Previnaire's Flying-Cam I participated in the bicentennial commemoration of the French Revolution by flying down the Champs-Elysees from the Obelisque to the Arc de Triomphe, marking the first broadcast using this type of aerial technology. Continued innovation brought about Flying-Cam II, which has a patented, gyrostabilized camera mount providing unlimited 360-degree pans and rolls and 190-degree tilts. On a standard job, Flying-Cam provides two helicopters and cameras as well as a pilot, camera operator and technical assistant. Video assist provides each project's cinematographer and director with the ability to choreograph their shots with the Flying-Cam crew while filming in 35mm, Super 35, 16mm, Super 16 and video formats; the company's latest development is its EFP DV helicopter camera system.
