Camp 4 Collective brought Brain Farm and the Cineflex in to shoot some epic aerials in the Tetons for the latest The North Face TV spot. Keep an eye out for it during prime time.
Brain Farm recently worked with Jimmy Chin and the crew at Camp Four Collective on the latest The North Face Fall 2011 commercial spot. The North Face athletes, Jimmy and Hilaree O’Neill along with the Camp Four team planned an ascent/descent of one of the main peaks in the Teton Range for the 30 second TV spot. Brain Farm was a 2nd Unit on the crew and shot all the aerial coverage with the Cineflex V14. The spot will release sometime in Fall 2011.
We produced a 30 second spot for Subaru and NBC/Universal here in Grand Teton National Park. We shot using our Cinema Truck and Cineflex V14, RED One, and Phantom Gold for the spot as well as managed the shoot and location. The spot aired during “Green Week” on NBC, Universal, and Syfy Channels.
Brain Farm tackled a serious challenge designing a Phantom 3D camera system for the shooting of Jackass 3D. We spent 3 months working closely with Paradise FX to figure out a way to build one of the first 3D camera systems that could capture over 1000 frames per second. After a long and rigorous challenge we pulled it off and helped make the new Jackass 3D film what it is today. Brain Farm’s, Curt Morgan worked closely with Spike Jonze to make sure the images were nothing but perfect. We helped to shoot the intro and the closing scenes as well as many other locations and sets throughout the film. Jackass 3D playing in theaters NOW.
Brain Farm talks about the making of the Visa Black Card TV commercial campaign.
Brain Farm was in Maui last December to shoot Ian Walsh at Peahi (JAWS) for Red Bull’s Young Jaws series. Here is a web video from the trip. We used the Cineflex for aerials and had a second Cineflex system mounted on a boat in the channel. We also shot Phantom HD from the boat for the high speed shots (slow mo).
