Mercy Flight
Central
April 2012 - Director of
Photography Dave Bartlett was hired by Producer / Director Martin
Leary of Adhouse Productions to acquire footage for Mercy
Flight Central, located near Rochester, NY.
Footage was captured with BTV's HDX900 using a Nanoflash,
as well as some GoPro cameras used inside a plane and on
a helicopter launching platform. A 24 foot jimmy
jib
operated by Dave Lippa gave some incredible
perspectives. Dave Bartlett also shot from inside
one of Mercy Flight Central's helicopters with a Canon
60D to film their fixed wing aircraft doing take offs
and landings (while the 2nd unit shot from the end of
the runway with the HDX900). Also, footage was
shot in a hospital showing MFC's crew.
It was an incredible day, both for
new adventures, great footage acquisition, and working
with the incredible people at Mercy Flight Central.
They are wonderful professionals, and were very helpful
and flexible in allowing us get the best shots we could.
The footage will be used for TV commercials and long
form videos for the web.
