Eye in the sky CineArray’s confidence in
preparing camera arrays for use on drones and helicopters stems from extensive experience gained running sister company CineAero. This world-renowned aerial filming business cut its teeth working with Paramount, Netflix, Marvel, NBC Universal and more top studios. It’s proud to offer the best drone equipment available right now – including high-payload drones such as the Freefly Alta X, which can carry cine cameras like the Sony VENICE and RED V-RAPTOR; as well as fast-moving hybrid FPV drones capable of extremely dynamic movements. For higher-altitude filming, CineAero can provide a range of Shotover gimbals and has access to helicopters all over the world, meaning no shot is out of reach. CineAero comes highly recommended, having provided top-level service and incredible footage to many of the biggest feature films of the last few years.

additional four-camera cluster giving a 270° dome environmental projection, perfect for use on an LED volume stage. Some examples of cameras used in these arrays are the ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, RED KOMODO and RED V-RAPTOR, with 21mm ZEISS CP.3 XD lenses attached to create great-looking footage that meets the standards of the biggest productions. Some arrays in the line-up have been specifically engineered for mounting to cars, helicopters, trains and drones – opening previously unimaginable doors in the creation of photoreal VFX and VP workflows. For capturing even more specialised footage, a lightweight three- camera array is suitable for use on sub- 25kg category drones, built using Z Cam E2-F6 bodies and Samyang prime lenses. Beyond this, CineArray is up to the challenge of creating entirely bespoke camera arrays to fit the requirements
of specific use cases. The team of experienced technicians is open to enquiries and ready to work closely with productions requiring custom solutions of any camera-and-lens combinations. End-to-end service All camera arrays feature complete lens control, so the look can be fine-tuned to your taste while on location. To ensure supreme accuracy while shooting in disparate environments, CineArray’s LiveStitch system enables precise live monitoring, on-set or from anywhere in the world, of a combined version of all different camera feeds, allowing DOPs and VFX supervisors to gain a detailed view of how edited footage will look. The LiveStitch recording is captured in 4K and immediately written to a removable SSD, allowing a stitched
preview of the array to be viewed right after the cameras are cut. Alongside the LiveStitch, the system records each individual camera feed with full camera metadata, giving directors, DOPs and VFX supervisors more options for picking dailies quickly and effectively – saving time and money on-set and in post. When it comes to stitching footage, CineArray offers an end-to-end service and will handle the processing of rushes for delivery to wherever they are needed next – be it a VFX studio or an LED volume. On top of that, the CineArray team is on hand from start to finish, ready to provide consultation and assistance throughout the process, and helping to ensure that your film is looked after by top-level professionals at every stage of production.
