Aerial shooters will love the new Multicam Array, which takes the open-architecture Eclipse system another step forward in stabilized high-resolution plate work.
Uses six off-the-shelf 5K RED Epics (recording to RedMags) in a 3-across-by-2-rows-high configuration.
All six shooting cameras are monitored live on one screen or isolated individually.
Six images stitched together results in a seamless 12K (46-megapixel) image with 140-degree horizontal, 60-degree vertical view.
Multicam Array can be used on the ground with small cranes via a Mitchell-mount adapter.
“On Jupiter Ascending we had a sequence that needed to be shot in 15 minutes and required the closure of multiple streets in downtown Chicago. With the Multicam Array we shot 140 degrees, with six Epics [24-mm lenses] set in an array within the Eclipse, to be stitched together later. This eliminated the need for multiple passes and allowed us to shoot in real time, same light.”
