You can leave all the technical stuff to us,
reassured that CorpFilms [UK] has an extensive range of equipment to
accommodate a variety of different filming styles, situations and
environments.

Cameras
Matching HDV cameras for multi-cam shoots. The
silver camera is for time lapse. All our cameras have 3CCD internal chips that
deliver high clarity colours. Wide angle lens for restricted spaces. Matt boxes
avoid lens flare from lighting and sun. |
Camera Rigs
Steadycam is designed for on-the-move shots. It
has complete freedom to go almost anywhere as it is not restricted to pre-set
paths on rails. It provides smooth shots even whilst travelling on uneven
terrain, up or down steps. Great for vehicle rear motion shots, out door
activities, walks through and vox pops. The hanging cage enables low level
shots. Steadycam is a specialist rig, for which operators require specific
training.
Camera crane with its under slung motorised
powerhead produces fabulous smooth and perfectly level or angled shots rising
from ground level to almost 4 metres with 360 degrees rotational swing plus 360
degrees pan & tilt. It's safer than drones for indoor and close to public
shots.
Shoulder rigs for camera shots that need to be
extremely mobile, quick to respond and steady. Ideal for events and vox pops.
Quick release mounts enable rapid attachment to tripods for perfectly steady
static or panning shots, making the production process efficient and flexible.
Glide track delivers very smooth, slow lateral
movements. Perfect for adding a subtle touch of class and individuality to
static interview and product shots. Superior quality tripods with twin legs
eliminate twist for greater stability. Fluid heads give smooth horizontal or
vertical pans, eliminating the jerkiness associated with cheaper, photographic
tripods. Zoom controls ensure smooth follow through between distance and close
up shots.
Gantry is for spanning across spaces where other
rigs cannot be positioned. It also enables cameras to take perfectly vertical
and steady overhead shots, which is ideal for close up product and equipment
demonstrations. |
Audio
Sennheiser and Rode electret condenser
microphones are the choice of professionals. XRL connections for balanced
input. Radio for distance and cable-free shoots. Shot guns, lapels, hand held
and performer headset for different filming styles. Cardioid for close pick up
and directional to reduce background sound. Windjammers,"dead cat" (the furry
mic cover) and pop shield reduces unwanted noise. Floor and overhead booms
where microphones need to be out of shot. Headphones monitor sound quality and
avoid otherwise unnoticed background noises. |
Lighting
Lighting is not just about improving light
levels. It adds depth, character and atmosphere. Warm toned halogen and cold
white LED. Strong direct and soft diffused. Stands for studio, indoor locations
and some outdoor environments. Camera-mounts for close up vox pops in poorly
lit spaces. |
Teleprompter (also known as
autocue)
16" Teleprompter can usually be read from 3/4
metres. Professional presenters accurately stay on scripts, reducing need to
learn in advance, minimising their fees. Less experienced people can deliver
scripts with greater confidence. Avoids forgetting words and reduces
fumbling. |
Monitors
Field & Studio, HD monitors make image
focusing more accurate. Hood protects the LCD screen from bright lights and sun
so the camera operator can manage clear images. They are also better for crew
and clients to review rushes (raw footage) whilst still on location. |
Studio facility
Full height green screen with infinity curve,
enables persons to be placed in any scene by superimposing a background image,
video or animation behind. Also an essential requirement when filming our
specialist "Website Walk-on Presenter". White or black backdrops for
alternative moods. |
Postproduction
Powerful studio computer, capable of handing full
1080i HD graphics with multiple effects filters. Ours is 'the' industry-leading
professional editing suite that integrates all major postproduction facilities
for colour grading, after effects, sound manipulation, 2D graphics animation,
importing and exporting a diverse range of video formats, In Design and
Photoshop. |
