Builders Warehouse - a TV Commercial

Rigging up a 10m dolly.... Sure, that's no problem! We've done longer than that before! Technically that was for a timelapse set-up and this time around Black Envelope Films needed us to rig for realtime video moves. Repeat moves that is. Timed with precision. For VFX work this precision in repeat moves are crucial. And this is what we can do! Oh, and did we say the dolly needs to carry a fully kitted RED DRAGON?? Nothing that the Shukuma PRO dolly can't handle ;-)

Trees of Life - a Blue Chip Production

Shooting natural history documentaries is what filmmaking is all about!! At least to us ;-)
Being commissioned to work on assignments like “Cats of the Camelthorn” (working title), a new Trilogy about three iconic African trees, is something we’ve been praying for and we’d love to share this incredible experience with you all!

Earlier this year we blogged about an exciting longterm timelapse project happening In Sandton, Johannesburg. Timelapse is such a great way to show how these incredible projects are taking place and exactly what it takes to develop such astounding architecture.

South Africa, JHB - Sandton’s iconic landmark starting off in timelapse!

Longterm timelapse project - Part I

Construction is happening all around us and it's happening so fast, we hardly notice it. Few people truly know what it takes to construct these buildings. Unless you can view it in a timelapse of course! This way everyone can appreciate the efforts going into such large projects especially if it takes 4 years to complete ;-)

The PRO Dolly out in the field

Since this is the very first post for 2014 we would like to wish you all a prosperous New Year and we hope that 2014 will bring you lots of happiness :-)

With that we would like to tell you a bit more of this awesome PRO Dolly which we use when rigging on commercials and other productions - it's way more than just a motorised timelapse dolly.
It's a REALTIME MOTION CONTROLLED video dolly!!

Also, you might have heard about the SCYO….. Well, we would like to confirm that the SCYO is indeed a NEW dolly!
