GENERAL INFORMATION
The AROUND THE WORLD RIG, the latest
development in camera support technology is now available for rent to the
motion picture and television industry through Engine Room.
Operated by a single technician, the
AWR is the first standardized Radial Arm Camera Crane of its kind. Its simple swing-arm design can be used to
create perfectly circular vertical camera moves, around or over any subject.
Fixed or Remote Head operable, the AWR will accept a full complement
of camera mounting possibilities. It will carry any sized motion picture or
video camera, from 65mm to Mini-DV. Its
adjustable telescoping arm allows for smooth dynamic arcs from 16 to 32
feet in diameter. Through additional
custom rigging, greater or smaller arc can also be achieved.
With thousands of possibilities for
using the new AROUND THE WORLD RIG, Engine Room also offers our clients
the ability to pre-visualize their shot designs in 3D CGI, creating a powerful
tool for quick video testing. This
advanced service helps to answer many technical and creative questions associated
with using the rig, long before the actual shoot day.
The AWR packs easily into two large
rolling cases and is ready to travel to any location. A standard forklift is recommended to support the crane, offering
the simplest possible pivot adjustment and camera placement.
