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.
Heres a great free film from Quiksilver. Brain Farm produced a big chunk of the footage seen in this on a trip to G-Land, Indonesia. We shot the Cineflex for aerials as well as mounted on a boat in the lineup. We also got some aerials and amazing water shots with our Phantom Gold. The aerial of Mark Healey slowing coming out of the barrel is one of our favorites.
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.
Brain Farm worked on the latest World of Red Bull commercial spot earlier this year thats now airing in the US and globally. Red Bull commissioned Curt Morgan to direct and Brain Farm to produce a 3D commercial spot to air in 3D theaters and on TV this spring. The subject; the talented Ashley Fiolek, a young motocross phenom who rallies through the Zaca Station MotoX track, then signs to the camera Welcome to my world, the world of Red Bull. Ashley is completely lacking her hearing but is one of the best female moto riders in the world.
We shot the spot with Paradise FX 3D rigs using RED One cameras. The POV was shot using IndieCam’s POV system. Brain Farm took it a step further and contracted Mark Chapman and crew from CableCam to run the RED stereo rig on a 2000 foot cable across the track to get the intimate follow shots through jump and berm features. For the chase shots we used the Ultimate Arm on the Mercedes camera chase car. All the aerials were shot with Brain Farm’s Cineflex V14 system. Brain Farm did all post production on the spot and worked with E3D Creative for all the 3D conversions and conform. The spot is now airing in 2D on ESPN, TBS, TNT, MTV and other networks. It will begin airing in 3D cinema this May in front of Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Thor, and The Priest.
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.
