Smile!

We have to admit that it has been very hard to hide an explosive beginning like this: Cinenane Group has started the new year with the most successful tv programme of Mediaset ( the italian commercial tv network ): Zelig!

The comic “talent show” most famous in Italy, ( it has already reached seven editions ), has just finished the tv recordings after 3 months spent in Arcimboldi theatre in Milan, for a total of ten episodes. It’s no use to say that also this year Zelig has won the tv audience war.

As usual, Claudio Bisio e Vanessa Incontrada ( the two Zelig’ presenters ) have took part in musicals, ballets and they have introduced old and new comedians, reaching the aim of one hundred comedians discovered by Zelig.

Cinenane Group, in association with Promo-Video Production, has participated with two of its most important products, following exactly the programme mood: our “show-piece”, the Piuma Maxi Gyro Head, and a new entry, the Telescopic Jib T24.

The great part of the shooting has been realized with our Piuma gyro-stabilized head ( in both models, Maxi and Mini ); the head was mounted on a six metres track that has been set on the floor, in the centre of theatre’s pit.

The telescopic arm T24 was instead below the stage, on the right; this placing has given to our arm a full movement’s freedom and control.

With its size ( it has a range of more than seven metres in height and length ), our cameraman has been able to give shots that started from the stage and reached the public to the director of the programme, Marco Beltrami.

We are accustomed to documenting this gorgeous experience with some pictures taking from the backstage, but we think that, this time, a video would be more significant.

The perfect union.

From its very beginning, Red camera system has aroused the interest of all the video experts and has become, in less than two years, a real buster in Digital Cinema. The development of digital technology gave to newcomers, like Red, the chance to compete with the most popular and expensive camera models.

Nane Aerial+Stab, Cinenane’s branch specialized in stabilized shots, has decided to take the chance and install – first in Italy - a Red One in a Wescam.

The latest opportunity to use it was for an art video by Mark Lewis. The Canadian artist, photographer and film-maker wanted to make a long shot flying from the mountain side to and around the Bard Fortress, in Valle d’Aosta.

Space is the main theme of the project. The video will be included in the exhibition called “Space Change”, opening up in Bard Fortress, where also works of the artist David Tremlett will be shown.

Technical curiosity: for this shot we have used Red One together with a classic movie lens, the beautiful Cooke 25-250 Varotal MKII.

Happy holidays!

Piuma and Moleskine.

This commercial is one of the most viewed on Youtube, due to its originality and creativity that exceed the classical moulds of advertisement.

The “Star” is the most historical and well-known notebook in the world. It is used by different and famous writers and artists such as Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso.

We are talking about Moleskine and four commercials, directed by Gianluca Camerino director with Sergio De Feudis photography, that have been realized with our Piuma technology in our Table Top theatre.

Three commercials are dedicated to the presentation of the new Moleskine City Notebooks, do-it-yourself guidebooks of the main world capitals. In particular the advertising subjets represent Paris, New York and Hong Kong.

The last one is a video-tutorial for Moleskine-MSK, a free software available on Moleskine website that allow to print and transfer data and documents from computer to Moleskine. For this last shooting, Camerino director has used our Piuma Maxi GyroHead: the only head that can realize with extreme precision and stability an unlimited rotation movement ( from 0 to 360 degrees ) on each axis, in totally control thanks to gyroscopic system.

The direction expected a combined head movement of 90 degrees, a dolly vertical movement and zoom out dolly shot.

In the following photos we’re showing you some backstage’s moments, but if you really want to understand about what we’re talking, we invite you to watch the commercial in the link below:
