Updated South African focused, ready-to-use stills and footage aimed at 2010 campaigns has just been added to the Gallo Images and Getty Images range of digital products.
“We knew that we had to apply maximum effort to get this material ready in time for our markets,’ says Pam Wills, Gallo Images Managing Director, “and thanks to our South African creative teams and those of Getty Images and Helifilms UK we managed to procure permission to fly over South African football stadia, cities and national parks and to set up crowd shoots in stadiums.
‘Two helicopters rigged with Cineflex HD camera units allowed the team to jump from machine to machine without having to wait to refuel or swap over the camera units, giving everyone lots to think about besides just producing great pictures.’
The Stadium Crowd shoot was produced after many casting sessions to ensure the correct mix of people and was shot in most instances using three camera teams who produced stills and footage in HD to get a range of viewpoints and angles.
