Camera Movement Specialists
BLACK ARM
The Black Arm allows us to mount various gimbals onto any moving vehicle including cars, trucks, atvs, boats, etc. The Black Arm removes the unwanted vertical movement when shooting from a moving platform.
MOVI PRO OPERATOR
MoVI Operators are common on most film sets. This camera movement provides more precision and intimate shots. With this control, we can provide the director more cinematic and artistic abilities.
DRONE LIGHTING RIG
Our custom built Drone lighting rig is one of a kind. Our system features a 9 light array, capable of producing 126,000 lumens of illumination. Fully pan-able and tilt-able, we can aim this light where we need it.
MOTOCRANE ULTRA
We have been in the Film and TV industries for over 18 years. This experience enables our team to be dialed on knowing how to execute cinematic and dynamic shots with our Moto Crane Ultra.
CINEMA DRONES
The Freefly System ALTA drone is the latest in professional aerial cinema. The ALTA allows us to lift a whole array of cameras, including Hollywood cinema cameras such as the Red Weapon and Alexa Mini.
CABLE CAM
The FlyLine cable cam allows us to connect a cable in between two points. This allows us to move the camera close to obstacles while at various speeds. Repeatability is the cable cam’s strong point.
VidMuze Cinema bridges the world of cinematography with the ground breaking technology that dynamic camera movement requires.
The tools we use include Motocrane Ultra (russian arm pursuit vehicle), cinema drones (Red & Arri cameras), car mounts including black arm, cable cam and MoVI Pro gimbals with operators.
We're a camera movement specialists company providing specialized gear and crew to the Film/TV industries.
