Miami · Yacht Video
Yacht Video, Miami.
A yacht film lives or dies on the running shots. Those need a boat that can pace the hull, hold the horizon and put a drone up without a second vendor. That is what the Basilisk was built to do.
How do you film a yacht running at speed?
You need a camera boat that can pace the yacht with a stabilized crane, a drone launched from the water, and a captain who has run tracking shots before. The Basilisk does all three from one hull, out of Miami.
Included
What you get
- —Stabilized running shots from an Ultraarm crane with Motocrane head.
- —Aerials launched and recovered from the same deck.
- —A captain who holds the pace and position the DP asks for.
- —Live color in the on-board DIT dark room, so the client sees final looks.
- —Biscayne Bay, Fort Lauderdale, offshore and the Keys.
The Reframe
One boat instead of three
Yacht shoots usually book a chase boat, a drone team and a photographer's boat, then spend the day coordinating them on the radio.
On the Basilisk the crane, the aerial unit and the DIT are already on board and on one call sheet. Builders, brokers and brands get the running shots, the aerials and the stills in a single water day.
