Motion24 made LIVE TV history with the #commonwealthgames2018 handover to Birmingham. The 6 minute, 1 take shot featured 2 crane hand on and offs on a 50ft Techno & 75ft Techno and using a total of 3 of the Griphaus Shotdock Systems.
The shot went out live which was viewed by over 1 Billion people... 1 000 000 000 people!!!
Leading up to this event we where requested to make two additional Shotdock systems to make this whole sequence possible. We had 3 weeks to arrange this which of course required a chocolate cake and sweet talking to our manufacturers.
NEVER EVER underestimate the power of Cake!!!
Here is the extracted portion of the sequence from the closing ceremony for the Birmingham handover.
Here are some links to Every Axis featuring a fantastic article with loads of behind the scenes images and videos. Also a short mention about the event in British Cinematographer.
A brief behind the scenes video with James Davis rehearsing one of the Shotdock shots.
