  • PowerVision’s PowerEye pro-grade cinematography drone goes up for pre-order

    PowerVision has announced the launch of global pre-orders for its PowerEye professional-grade cinematography drone. This drone features Dual Viewing for both subject matter view (SMV) and first person view (FPV) streaming at the same time, something made possible via a gimbal-mounted camera and another camera housed on the drone’s nose. PowerEye also features PowerVision’s Object Detection technology.

    Two different PowerEye drone models are being offered: the ‘PowerEye Professional’ and the ‘PowerEye Thermal.’ The Professional model features a 4K-capable 16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor that offers Raw DNG capture and Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 ASPH lens while the Thermal model has a switchable thermal/natural light camera with two different lenses and sensors. Operators toggle between the natural and thermal cameras using the PowerEye App.

    Overall, PowerEye weighs 3.9kg / 8.7lbs including its propellers and battery; the design includes 4-point landing and liftoff and collapsible rotors and legs for a folded transport size of 340 x 285 x 296mm / 13 x 11 x 11.6 inches. The battery claims a flight time of up to 29.5 minutes on a charge, about 10 minutes longer than the DJI Inspire 1, and operators can control the drone from distances up to 5km / 3.1 miles. The drone’s max payload is up to 3kg / 6.6lbs. The full spec sheet is available here.

    The PowerEye Professional is available for pre-order now for $ 3,988, which includes the Panasonic camera, base station, the battery and charger, propellers + an extra set, a rolling case, and a remote control + an extra remote control for pre-orders specifically. The thermal camera variant is not currently listed on PowerVision’s website, however, and pricing is unclear.

  • Cinematography of Snow: Watch a Film Projected Onto a Blizzard

    [ By WebUrbanist in Art & Photography & Video. ]

    projected landscape snowfall

    An idle thought while waiting out a snowstorm led to an accidental artistic discovery: projecting a movie on falling snow can result in an visually rich result bordering on magical, in turn captured on film.

    Photographer Brian Maffit had no idea what to expect when he turned his projector to face outside his window during a snowstorm, but when he realized the potential, he began documenting the results with both still and video cameras.

    By zooming in and out, shifting the perspective of the projector and the camera, and taking shots at various degrees of snowy downfall and capturing moments throughout the movie, the images end up spanning a surprising visual range of colors and contrasts.

    “The ‘RGB dots’ were the biggest surprise, I guess when the projector is showing a white screen, it is really rapidly cycling between fully-saturated red, green, and blue screens… thus the dots in a few of the shots.”

    Aside from the embedded video and stills found here, you can also visit his Flickr page for high-resolution images taken throughout the experience. And the film in question? The Lorax. Perhaps best watched on snow anyway.

  • 29 August, 2013 – The 10 Commandments of Cinematography for Still Photographers

    When still photographers first approach shooting video or cinema, they sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by the new jargon, and especially the techniques needed to produce quality images.

    Our latest article, The 10 Commandments of Cinematography for Still Photographers may help with understanding the basics.

    "Having been to Antarctica with Michael and Kevin, I would say after having traveled the world and shot nearly my entire life as an exhibiting photographer,  it was one of my highlights in my life and I talk about it, all the time.  The images and experience of seeing something visionary and nearly extinct from the world, to see and experience the wildlife and scenery that does not fear humans is amazing.  The images I shot there won me two Smithsonian awards and nearly 18 other international awards". – Tim Wolcott
