Getting High in Venice Beach
A trend in filming that I can’t get enough of right now is the use of RC helicopter cameras. Not only does it turn out some amazing footage but it would also be a hell of a lot of fun to shoot with.
Above is a unique look over Venice Beach L.A and below Trent Palmer gives us a birds eye view of some backyard shredding. Enjoy!

Torstein Horgmo discusses filming with Contour
Recently whilst filming in Northstar Tahoe for Standard Films Torstein Horgmo was caught by a gust of wind on his approach to a large jump resulting in a concussion, broken ribs and a damaged lung but all reports indicate that he is now recovering well. The below picture was apparently taken before the accident took place.
On a lighter note we have a recently released clip of Torstein discussing the use of Contour Cameras in his filming. I’m loving the shot from contour strapped to the chopper blade. Genius!
