Stereo SwissRig No.1 for rigidity

February 23rd, 2010

swissrig3

The SwissRig is our STEREO camera rig of choice, due to its great engineering and rock-solid physical stability. The unique and simple way that the lens datum height is adjusted, coupled with the ability to use any camera from a humble Panasonic P2, right up to the monolithic Sony F35 makes it ideal for all work. Our favourite feature is the precision mirror assembly. Converging camera pairs are a poor substitute for doing the job properly. These guys do it properly.

Swiss engineered, Swiss manufactured. We like that.

With the success of James Cameron’s AVATAR, much new work this year is being commissioned in 3D stereoscopic. The Piranha 3D Stereoscopic editing and compositing system is able to edit and playback full resolution HD stereo content. Using a hugely powerful realtime processing pipeline, this is the ideal solution for correcting mis-aligned cameras, and is ideal for stereo color grading .

Music is a powerful motivator. We are able to write and record bespoke music for your productions. Here in Abbey Road Studios, we are recording a large orchestra to create a high quality natural sound which is not possible using synthesizers.

… this is the studio which was used by Pink Floyd to record “dark side of the moon”.

For a Brit Awards singing duet, we needed a double staircase, with one artist on each side. We created it using a single staircase and some careful compositing.
