We had the pleasure of travelling to Belgium with our Grip-Box equipped with vertical winch cable cam to shoot footage for the upcoming film Girl by young director Lukas Dhont. The film will be released in 2018.
For this job, we did a vertical tracking shot in a 6-storey stairwell, i.e. 22 metres high. Thanks to the Gripwise technical team on site for their kindness (Jorrit and Roy).
The brief was a demanding one, since it had to be possible to film in continuous 360° so as to be able to follow a person running up the stairs. The director and the film's technical team had one particular request: not to use ropes inside the stairwell.
This challenge was successfully met, as our installation worked perfectly without a single piece of rope showing up inside the stairwell and therefore in the image.
In terms of technical configuration, we used the Grip-Box as a vertical winch, a Movi M15, an alexa Mini and Leica Summilux - C lenses.
