      Remote production with David Guetta in Dubai

      Remote production with David Guetta in Dubai
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      A charity concert on The Helipad of The Burj Al Arab was recorded in UHD with four remote-controlled Blackcam Systems, four ARRI cameras and three drones.

      Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai is shaped like a sail. On the observation deck of the mast at a height of about 210m, David Guetta put on a breathtaking DJ set from sunset to nightfall in late January. There was no audience in the lofty heights, but the event was visually staged with high technical efforts and brilliant closing fireworks to be able to experience it online worldwide on February 6, 2021. Due to the weight restrictions on the helipad and because of the current Covid-19 hygiene regulations, the event was filmed exclusively with remote cameras.

      For this UHD recording, technical supervisor Philipp Chudalla with director Job Robbers, executive creative director Remco Evers, and head of production Luke Morris had decided on using four remote-controlled Blackcam Systems and four ARRI cameras. In addition, three drones were used.

      “At the first meeting with the producers, I learned that no one but David Guetta was allowed on the helipad during the shoot,” commented Philipp Chudalla, technical supervisor. “They asked for a solution that would still allow us to get good shots. The location was extremely challenging because the limited space and weight restrictions on the helipad didn’t allow for cranes or camera people. Since we were only filming one person in front of a DJ table, moving cameras were needed to cover the entire area. The Blackcam Systems gave me exactly that flexibility. It allowed us to capture not only the artist’s performance, but also the light and video show around him. The uncomplicated setup and smooth design of the dollies also helped a lot with the drone shots of the set, because it meant we didn’t have a large, distracting camera in the frame.”

      Blackcam operator Hug Healy added:”I was thrilled to work for the first time with the Blackcam B60 and ARRI SRH-3. The system ran extremely smoothly and responsively, so I was able to film great, dynamic images quite easily – a very refreshing and efficient way to work. The foot pedals combined with the joystick make the system almost autonomous, a great joy to work with!”.

      The event was under a good star. From the hotel’s helipad, often shrouded in light fog and drafty winds, the magnificent view of Dubai’s skyline glowing in the dusk was unobstructed for Guetta’s performance, who once again performed without fee to solicit donations for the Unicef For Every Child and Dubai Cares projects. Everyone involved agreed that the monumental images gave David Guetta’s music and cause a platform that was impressive in the truest sense of the word. The result can be seen and heard at www.davidguetta.com starting 2/6/21.

      “Working with the Blackcam B60 dolly in combination with the ARRI SHR-3 opens up great creative possibilities and you can fully concentrate on the shots. No latency, absolutely smooth movements – the complete package. I hope to work with the system again soon,” noted Richard Forrest, Blackcam Operator

      On a 270-degree rail curve with a diameter of 12 meters, one camera system was a remote-controlled Blackcam dolly B40 with a Blackcam TowerLift L2, a stabilised ARRI Remote Head SRH-3 and an ARRI Alexa Mini with a Fujinon Cabrio Zoom 19-90. Another camera system consisted of an ARRI Amira with Fujinon Cabrio Zoom 14-35 in an SRH-3 on a Blackcam System B60 with Tower on eight meters of straight rail. Directly in front of the DJ booth was a two-metre straight rail with a Blackcam unit and an ALEXA Mini and an ultra-wide fixed focal length ARRI UP8R. In addition, there was a Blackcam Remote Head with ARRI Amira and a Fujinon Cabrio Zoom 85-800 on a tripod.

      The production was undertakenlive to a hard disk, with recording and operating in Log C. For the first time, the ARRI Multicam LogC LUT was used for colour matching of the cameras. With this LUT, it is possible to edit the video parameters in LogC operation of the camera. By means of an external LUT box, which displays the image in the correct colour space in the desired look, it is thus possible to evaluate the image on measuring devices and preview monitors. To control the iris on the Alexa Mini with the UP8R, an ARRI cforce mini RF was attached. This motor can be connected to the Hirose connector of the lens mount via a cable without an additional interface, allowing iris control of a classic cine lens via an RCP. The cameras were connected via SMPTE fiber cables to the control room, which was located on the 27th floor of the Burj Al Arab, one and a half floors below the helipad.

      “There were some hurdles to overcome for this unique location. I’m glad that we had Blackcam on site for this assignment, who on the one hand provided impressive shots with their systems and in combination with our ARRI SRH-3 stabilised remote head and the ARRI Amira and ALEXA Mini cameras made it possible to work comfortably and perfectly,” commented Thomas Stoschek, ARRI Sales Manager Camera Systems.
