3D

When it comes to 3D, we have three aims. To be at the forefront. To be best. And to make your 3D production a success.

 

3D camera hire experts ONSIGHT have already completed many landmark 3D projects.

 

These include: 

3D Rugby Union Calcutta Cup match - the world's first live 3D sports broadcast

Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough - the first 3D BAFTA award winning programme (Atlantic Productions for Sky and IMAX)

Meerkats 3D - nominated for 'Best 3D Program' at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival (Oxford Scientific and Principal Large Format for Sky 3D)

 

Plus:

VFX elements for Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides 3D & John Carter of Mars (working title) in 3D.

 

ONSIGHT have also conducted extensive 3D testing and R&D – all so that we can ensure your production is perfect, from shoot to screen.

This is the smaller of the side-by-side rigs, still very rigid in design but much smaller and more suited to smaller cameras like the SI-2K or Iconix. This non-motorised passive rig still has all of the alignment tools but is small enough to be fitted to a SteadyCam, used hand-held or mounted in tight spaces such as cars or lifts where the size of the Calcutta or Mirror rig would be restrictive.

Similar to the Calcutta II (below) but without roll alignment and the need to lock-off after adjustments.

This is our larger of our side-by-side rigs, capable of taking any size of cameras and lenses. The unit is very rigid and carries the full range of very subtle alignment tools: interaxial, convergance, horizontal and roll adjustments. This is a non-motorised passive rig, which can be adjusted and locked off for each set-up.

Element Technica have applied their knowledge and innovation gained with the larger Quasar rig to the miniature Neutron 3D rig.

Robustly constructed and capable of Over/Through and Under/Through as well as Side-by-Side configurations, the rig is ideally suited to lightweight operations. Fitted with SI-2K or Cunima cameras the all-up weight can be as low as 8Kg.

Despite its small size is has full wireless control of IO and Convergence and is capable of a maximum IO distance of 88mm.

The Quasar’s modularity allows it to be configured as either a beamsplitter system for close work with wide lenses or alternately set up as a converging side-by-side system for use at live broadcast events with extreme focal lengths. An isolted mirror box provides exceptional rigidity and precise alignment.

A parallel rig developed by Inition for use with lightweight DV/HDV cameras. It is less rigid than other parallel rigs, with less accurate adjustments. It can be useful for lock-off shots and testing at reduced costs.

The Freestyle rig is designed to offer a range of creative choice for camera movement in 3D production. By using patented Carbon technology, also used for Formula 1 race cars, the best combination of load capacity, stability, form and weight was achieved.

We have the larger of the P+S rigs, capable of taking any size of camera and lens. Our rig has been rigidised to eliminate any play between the two mounted cameras, which can be an isssue (especially with larger bodies and lenses) and had extra alignment tools added. ONSIGHT's P+S Techniks Mirror rig now has a full range of camera alignment tools, including interaxial, convergence, horizontal alignment and roll alignment. We have found that no two cameras are identical and these adjustments are very useful. This unit can be motorised if required.

We have also developed prototype single plates rigs for specific shoots such as motorbike rigs and polecam. These are primarily designed and adapted on a job to job basis but please call us on 020 7637 0888 for more information.
