Camera Moves TeleCrane, the company that first brought the Techno-Jib to the East Coast, is bringing this new technology to the high-profile productions: Paula Abdul's RAH! and Comedy Central Presents.
''The Techno-Jib is perfect for a show like Comedy Central Presents,'' explains jib owner/camera operator Rob Balton, who credits his partner Mark Whitman for discovering the equipment on a Victoria's Secret job. We shoot Comedy Central Presents at the Hudson Theater in Manhattan, New York. It's a small venue. Because of the Techno-Jib's small footprint, we are able to get in and capture everything from reverses to overs, wide shots of the house, extend into a 24-foot crane move, do Steadicam down the aisle, and even dolly from the back of the house--without dominating the room or casting shadows
. The production value is amazing. There is simply a lot of bang for the buck.''
Techno-Jib by Telescopic allows a single operator to control diverse camera movements including zoom, focus, and the telescoping of the jib arm, through a customizable user interface. Techno-Jib 24 extends from a minimum reach of 9 feet (2.7 meters) to a maximum of 24 feet (7.3 meters). The arm travels at speeds of up to 5 feet per second.
The Techno-Jib 24 is available for purchase or rental. For more information, visit www.telescopicjib.com or contact: Telescopic LLC, in North Hollywood, CA: telephone (310) 804-6113; Email: technojib@telescopicjib.com.
