Capturing the Thrill of Speed with Easy Peasy Films at FOX Raceway
When it comes to high-octane cinematography, few setups capture the raw intensity of a live race like the crew at Easy Peasy Films. Recently, the team took on an exciting shoot at FOX Raceway, where the action on the track met precision filming on rugged terrain. Equipped with the robust Can-Am Maverick X3 and the cutting-edge Motocrane Radical arm, the Easy Peasy crew showcased unparalleled teamwork and expertise to capture a rider’s powerful stunts and maneuvers.
The Maverick X3, equipped with its roaring engine, was no ordinary vehicle; it served as our reliable arm car, ready to handle the challenges of the course. Our crew was prepared with the ARRI SRH 360 remote head, a tool that enabled smooth, stabilized footage, even at high speeds across rough terrain. This equipment allowed us to focus on dynamic, cinematic angles that emphasized the skill of both the rider and the Maverick’s capabilities, bringing a new level of intensity to each shot.
Teamwork Behind the Lens
Every crew member played an essential role, bringing their unique expertise to ensure each moment was captured with precision:
- Arthur Castellano (@arthurcastellano.dp), our talented Director of Photography, led the shoot with a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to capturing the rider’s powerful performance.
- Michael Cardenas (@michaelcardenasfilms), our 1st Assistant Camera (AC), worked diligently to ensure every angle was on point, managing camera settings, focus, and precision.
- Jonathan Williams (@jcinematography), as the Remote Head Operator, skillfully maneuvered the SRH-360 to guarantee smooth, stabilized shots that brought a cinematic quality to each frame.
- Nigel Hudson (@easypeasyfilms), a seasoned precision and stunt driver, skillfully navigated the Maverick X3, keeping the pace and positioning just right to capture each shot. His expertise behind the wheel ensured both safety and an optimal shooting experience as he navigated the vehicle through challenging terrains.
Unmatched Technology Meets Skilled Execution
The Motocrane Radical arm attached to the Can-Am Maverick was key to our shoot, allowing the team to capture the rider from unique perspectives, smoothly transitioning from close-up angles to wide shots. The flexibility of the arm and the power of the ARRI SRH 360 enabled us to highlight every twist, turn, and jump with cinematic finesse.
Easy Peasy Films continually pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in action cinematography, and this recent shoot is no exception. Our dedication to precision, technology, and skill allowed us to deliver a thrilling, professional production that perfectly captured the adrenaline and expertise on display at FOX Raceway.
