"The New Merry Pranksters," 3 brave directors of photography (DPs), set out in July 2010 to takeover the beauty of the Serengeti Plains and other innate wonders of Tanzania.
The New Merry Pranksters, that add award-winning DP Robert Primes, ASC; DP Dan Kneece, boss of the Society of Operating Cameramen; and DP Yousef Linjawi, who is completing his MFA grade in cinematography at Chapman University, were gritty to give viewers a peek of precious, extemporaneous scenes of furious animals interacting with any other on the Serengeti Plains.
The DP group hauled 10 complicated cases full with more than $500,000 value of borrowed state-of-the-art gear, including: a Sony PMW350 2/3in XDCAM mental recall shoulder-mount camcorder; a Fujinon HA25x16.5BERD Premier Series HD Super Telephoto ENG type lens with 2x extender, servo wizz and focus; a Fujinon ZA12x4.5BERD super wide-angle HD ENG lens with 2x extender; and a Fujinon TS-P58A visual stabilizer, that eliminates neglected quivering and picture changeable when sharpened with high-magnification HD ENG telephoto lenses.
The Fujinon lenses and picture stabilizer enabled the DPs to fire overwhelming animal closeups at long distances. The outcome is a treasure trove of more than 100 hours of fantastic wildlife scenes right away being crafted in to an didactic film.
(Kneece and Primes notify how they in use the Fujinon stabilizer and HA25x for this plan in an online video . Primes minute the crew's African exploit in a blog .)
