An exciting day for shooting by helicopter with the Shotover K1 equipped with a Red Epic Dragon camera and the Angénieux 25-250mm lens. Around 3 hours oversea filming several images of the actors on a boat.

Second French feature film shot, Retour chez ma mère, directed by Eric Lavaine (no release date yet), featuring Alexandra Lamy and shot by François Hernandez. We filmed by helicopter with the Shotover K1 equipped with the Arri Alexa Mini and the Angénieux 24-290mm lens. Luc Poullain was piloting the aircraft and Steve Desbrow was operating the camera : we shot some images of the actors in a car, and images for the film opening.

Eventually we have been involved in the shooting of the adaptation of Un sac de billes, by Christian Duguay (no release date yet) : Two brothers are fleeing across France during the German occupation of the Second World War.
