Tracking Shots on Water, Miami.
A tracking shot on water is a car commercial where the road moves. The Basilisk was built for it: a stabilized crane on a hull that can hold pace, and a DIT on board grading to the agency LUT.
How do you film tracking shots on water?
You need a stable, fast camera vessel with a stabilized crane, a captain who can hold pace and line, and live monitoring for the director. The Basilisk provides all three in Miami, with color graded on board.
Included
What you get
- —Ultraarm crane with Motocrane stabilized head, so the horizon holds.
- —Twin outboards with the pace to lead or follow the hero boat.
- —Wave Central wireless video to the director and agency.
- —Live grading in a climate-controlled DIT dark room.
- —The Flat Water Guarantee: rough water means reschedule, not repay.
The Reframe
Not a chase boat. A tracking vehicle.
A chase boat puts a camera near the action. A tracking vehicle puts it exactly where the storyboard says, and keeps it there at speed.
That is the difference between hoping for the shot and scheduling it.
