Corporate video with the GoPro Hero

[Arbel Rom]

Here is a new HD corporate video we made.
main camera used was the Sony EX-3.
This was made for a metal processing company, and we used the GoPro for special shots
we couldn't achieve inside the machines, and on board the robots.
take a look - c&c welcome as always.

Arbel,
Nice work! The shots of the inner workings of the processes work very well! The GoPro can really be a serious tool in the right situation. I shot a corporate shoot for a spa last week and used the gopro on a chest harness for shots of a massage, pedicure and manicure from the therapist's perspective. They worked out extremely well; the client was thrilled with the quality of video it produced and the extremely unique perspective.
I've been tinkering with a KAP (kite aerial photography) system using the gopro for a few months now; I have the suspension issues sorted out, and working on the remote pan/tilt now. It shows a lot of promise for close in ( 100 ft - 200 ft) aerial work for real estate, festivals, etc. small, tough, light...utimately much safer than powered remote flight over populated areas. I think there is an application there waiting for a solution, and the Gopro is it

Thanks!
Yep, the GoPro gave us the option to get in the machines, with the cooling fluids not being a problem.
Its funny, because we are working on an air-born rig as well. I am trying to put the GoPro on one of these cheap remote-controlled choppers with electric motors you can buy these days for 100$.
Might be the ultimate tool for a few projects I have - wild horses in the open, and some desert shots for a car commercial.
I am concerned though that the image stabilization won't be good enough to handle the vibrations up there...
maybe the kite is the solution...
Can't wait to see some of your footage!

i hope your client was pleased, they should have been.

i'm aware of what a piece like that would be budgeted in new york city.

Thanks!
You know what - that's something I would really like to know:
How much would a client pay for a corporate video like this in the US?
Here in Israel the Budget - including CG (Max and After Effects) work - was around 16,000 US$

If you like it - thumbs up in YouTube...:-)

Arbel,

That's a very nice corporate video! What I was just wondering; the overview shots inside the hall, did you use a crane for those? Or is it just cropping and sliding footage in the edit?

Once again, very well done, you must have spent weeks on it.

[Arbel Rom]

Yes, we used a 6 meter crane with motion control head for these shots,
and also for the outdoor shots.

What was the other camera ? a 5d?

[Alejandro Vargas]

amazing work!

never thought of the GoPro as a serious camera until now...
really opened it up for me.

[Arbel Rom]

As I stated above - the main camera was a Sony EX-3
but the GoPro sure did gave us many options for cool shots.
