COPTER CAMERA
The heligimbal has revolutionized wildlife filming
The heligimbal is a high-definition, long-lens camera that can swivel through 360 degrees. It is about 50 cm in diameter, and is the shape of an oversized basketball. The camera is housed in a protective cover and suspended beneath the nose of a helicopter.
ASK THE EXPERT
Michael kelem, the Hollywood cameraman who used the heligimbal to film Planet Earth, says he’ d rather film wildlife than work on feature films.
How has the heligimbal changed wildlife filming?
It provides a steady platform in the sky. Even at 300m the shot is stable because of the gyroscopes definition. To get close enough to film natural behavior you used to have to film from the ground, but from the helicopter you can choose where you film from and follow the action. It’s expensive, though. That’s part of the reason why it’s not been used for wildlife filming before.
What’s the main difference between shooting wildlife and feature films?
You need massively improved concentration! In feature films you do a shot which maybe lasts a minute, then you rest. But when I filmed wild dogs hunting in the Okavango, for example, they were difficult to follow, because they blended into the scenery and dodged between trees. I couldn’t take my eyes off the monitor for a full 40-minute take. That was the most tiring work I’ve ever done.
What tricks did you use in feature films that you applied to filming wildlife?
No matter how carefully you script something, in the air you have to change the shot as needs be. This flexibility helped me when filming wildlife, because you have to adapt to the action.
What was the highlight of the Planet Earth for you?
Filming wolves hunting caribou in the Arctic, because we got five hunts within a couple of hours. Apparently that rarely happens. And shooting Mount Everest was pretty spectacular.
What would you rather work with—wildlife or Hollywood divas?
The work ethic of wildlife and the Hollywood diva are very similar—they work hard for a couple of hours in the morning, hunt and eat their prey (whether that’s a caribou or a submissive director) and then take the afternoon off. The catering is better in Hollywood, but it can be a sick industry. The people in wildlife are more down to earth.
During flight, the camera is covered and hung beneath______.
