Kennedy Miller Mitchell has just wrapped shooting at Fox Studios in Sydney of one week of filming of live action elements on Dr. George Miller's highly anticipated animated feature "Happy Feet 2".
In an online exclusive, Dark Horizons can reveal that the sequences were done using a completely customised 3D camera system developed by Paul Nichola and built specifically for Miller's next project - "Mad Max: Fury Road".
Two years ago Miller requested a 3D shooting system for 'Fury Road' that wouldn't get in the way of the filmmaking process. Paul Nichola and his team constructed a compact 3D rig that required no alignment on-set. This was achieved by implementing a software convergence methodology.
Software convergence dispenses the need for intricate mechanical alignment of lenses. The end result is an operationally less intrusive, smaller robust and faster to shoot with system. There is no alignment required at any stage in the shooting process.
