Lajka Film found the advantage in the Vantage Film complete camera services during their summer
shooting in the Czech Republic. A project called "Non Plus Ultras" gave us a unique opportunity to present to the
debuting authors of a Czech feature film our state-of-the-art equipment, including an ARRICAM camera, HAWK ANAMORPHIC Lenses and
last but not least a PSU-I hard disc recorder.
It's worthy of mention that during this 9-weeks shooting there was no problem appearing on our equipment, which can only prove
our professional support of this full-length film. However, authors of the film themselves (the director Jakub Sluka,
the cameraman Jakub Dvorský and others) can confirm the satisfaction with our state-of-the-art equipment and provided services
(see the comments below)... NON PLUS ULTRAS - authors' comments:
Jakub Sluka / director As a director debuting in the full-length film shooting, I was pleased to have
an opportunity to work together with a cameraman with the world-class equipment on the highest level.
Jakub Dvorský / cameraman I had an opportunity to work with an equipment which only a few cameramen of the
Czech film can count on; the ARRICAM cameras, the HAWK ANAMORPHIC lenses and the high-quality accessories. We all know that
only the technology cannot make a film, but the comfort provided by this technology makes my work much more pleasant. I was
really satisfied with the Hawk Anamorphic lenses and their sharpness and colour presentation and I hope it wasn't my last work
with them. From the supplementary accessories, the highest contribution for our work was the PSU-I hard disc recorder.
PSU-I This hard disc recorder was during the shooting praised by all members of the crew (director,
cameramen, actors, script, production). It doesn't only unbelievably save time during the shooting with no need of long waiting
for the right take, but mainly it is a great help when looking for a continuing take or controlling actors' actions, etc.
The PSU-I is definitely a magnificent contribution during the shooting.
Lukáš Malý / producer Michaela Berková / executive producer Thanks to the Vantage Company and their
excellent offer we had an opportunity to shoot the Czech film with the world-class camera equipment. On the one hand, it helped
us to get wonderful shoots, but on the other hand it prevented us from many worries with technology or organisation.
We know that without such a strong and professional partner we would hardly achieve the desired technical results.
We hope to have more opportunities to co-operate on other projects in the future. |
