CINEMATOGRAPHY
For the best in field shooting AMP Film Studios has your budget range covered. If you need to shoot in HD, AMP Film Studios offers the Panasonic DVCPro HD HVX-200. The AMP Film Studios DVCPro HD package is the perfect replacement for projects that used to be shot on film. With the addition of our Kinomatik 35mm lens adaptor, the MOVIEtube winner of the German Film Innovation Award for 2005 (for more info go to www.movietube.com) it is now possible to obtain the shallow depth of field, color and the resolution of a film production for a fraction of the price. Unlike other 35mm lens adaptors the MOVIEtube does not use an oscillating ground glass, in thus allowing the use of high shutter speeds with no loss of resolution.

Thanks to the versatility of the Panasonic DVCPro HD HVX-200, you can now acquire stunning slow motion footage and Time Lapse photography. In addition, this camera can shoot in various formats from Mini DV to true DVCPro HD.

AMP Film Studios includes a three person crew, along with a substantial lighting array that includes HMI lighting, Kino Flo’s, Arri light kits and Chimera light boxes. If your project calls for ENG?
