During the recent Micro Salon 2017, right after the screening of the short film Escapade, shot in black & white using the Panasonic Varicam LT without any Infrared cut filter, many people asked me for a further and more specific explanation on the methodology employed. Here is my answer, a brand new presentation, which not only describes every single step followed in our process but also sums up my previous researches on this topic.

A HUGE thank for your visit to our “special 20^th anniversary” open doors; in helicopter for a few lucky one! Always on the cutting edge of the technology, we did present you some of our news systems such as the Aercam, the Twizycam or our new electric RC quad.

A huge thank you! The AFC Board decided in January to admit Exalux as an associate member.
This decision is recognition of the work done by Exalux teams over the past three years. We are proud to integrate this great family, and wish to thank our sponsors, Michel Abramowicz and Laurent Chalet.

We spent a lot of time since early 2017 for the preparation of French and foreign productions, to be shot in the coming weeks!
