This past week I was gaffing the NYC segment of the
3D Imax feature film "Dinosaurs Alive!". The
principal crew had just returned from weeks of
shooting in Mongolia. We shot 5 days at the Musuem of
Natural History in NYC with DP William Reeve, CSC at
the helm.
Photos of the Imax 3D "Solido" camera, about the size of a small fridge. Best Boy Electric, Burke Heffner mans the fridge.

35mm Rig on Chapman Hybrid. DP William Reeve, CSC; 1st AC & Camera Op Dylan Reade
35mm Imax twin Arri rig on Mike Vazquez's Panther Crane above the T-Rex. The Solido Imax 3D rig with remote head at close to 600 pounds proved to be too bulky for tight moves around a sea of glass. Line Producer, Bruce Elfstrom (founder of OverlandExperts) informs me the next Imax gig is in Siberia... in January. Think I'll take a pass, January sucks bad enough here in NYC.
