ACS France on the shooting of "Jupiter Ascending"

par ACS France La Lettre AFC n°244

[ English ] [ français ]

Having shot with John Toll, ASC, and the Wachowskis on Cloud Atlas, it was a pleasure to be asked to shoot on Jupiter Ascending. ACS France provided the complete aerial shooting solution in Iceland and recently in Bilbao including helicopter, Aerial DOP, Film Pilot, crew and low level flying permissions. All the logistics involved in getting that perfect shot.

We used the Shotover for the shoot in Iceland and Nettmann Super G2 in Bilbao. These systems are both "open architecture" systems and we can use almost any combination of camera and lens – digital, film, 3D or large format – Perfect versatility.
We also shot with the Arri Alexa Plus and Fujinon 18-85mm in Iceland and Alexa XT and 17-80mm lens in Bilbao.
Directors : Lana and Andy Wachowski
DOP : John Toll, ASC
Aerial DOP : Steve Desbrow
The film release in France was first scheduled on July 23, 2014 but was postponed to February 2015.

You can also find ACS France aerial shots in Corsica for the film Les Francis which will be released on July 23, 2014.

The whole team wishes you Happy holidays !
