We could not be more thrilled that writer and director Michael Mann chose Hollywood Camera Sliders to support his shot list as he collaborated with Cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt on the movie Ferrari. Read the excerpt below from British Cinematographer describing how they aced turning vehicles into rigs.
“Replica racing cars were built with filming in mind. Frames were designed with built-in mounting points so cameras could be quickly mounted anywhere needed, turning the vehicles into rigs.
Michael arrived each day with a shot list outlining what he wanted to do and we would sit down and look at the best tools to cover that action. He was interested in mounting a slider on the car so the camera could move from one position to another over the course of the race,” says Messerschmidt.
“We found the Hollywood Camera Slider motorized slider and modified it so it could be wirelessly operated and put on an incline on the side of the car or behind the driver, allowing Michael to get five or six shots from one mounted position.”
