Sony PD150 3CCD

We use the technical superior Sony PD150, it creates phenomenal pictures even in challenging light situations, low-light as well as bright-glaring noon sunshine. Even with full zoom the image stays sharp and clear.

Movies shot with the PD150 won awards at the highly respected Sundance Film Festival, the widespread use of the PD150 in professional movie making is a testament to its abilities. It has 2 XLR audio inputs to connect two microphones, one of them often a wireless, or one microphone and one mixing board or amplifier.

Panasonic PVGS500 3CCD

Our secondary camera the Panasonic GS500 produces great video quality. It has all the needed pro-level features, a Leica Dicomar zoomlens and enffective optical stabilizer. Of course like the Sony it can produce standard (4:3) and widescreen (16:9) footage, and has 3CCDs for superior color.

Dual Core Intel iMac

Our editing station is a fully loaded 2GHZ Intel Dual Core iMac with 2 GB RAM and 2 TB of Harddisk. The main software we use to edit the movies is Final Cut Pro although we ocasionally use other programs as well.

Since the Mac itself is a completely integrated computer that secure, stable, and powerful - this reflects very much in our end products.

Other Equipment

We use dependable and quickly adjustable Bogen Manfrotto tripods and heads, as well as a Gitzo G2380 video head, which provides exceptionally smooth 360 degree pans and full tilts as well as an ultra quick release and mount. For recording great sound we use an Azden wireless system, several Sony and Azden microphones and digital recorders, of course we can also plug into a sound engineer's mixing board, and amplifier or any other audio source. To convert video we use a Canopus ADVC 110.
