Redbull's F1 Race To Miami!

When Red Bull calls, we answer. With Miami hosting F1 Racing in 2022, the Red Bull F1 wanted to make a big splash with “Race to Miami”. Red Bull Media House worked with us to create the opening sequences of their short film. The Gotham Films team provided them with our helicopter, pilot, K1, and RED Monstro VV along with our Nightsun searchlight to capture the F1 car navigating the NYC streets and bridges at very high speeds. It’s always exciting to work with Red Bull!

Aconcagua H145 Landing

With the ability to take our smaller gimbal, the Shotover F1, as excess airline baggage when traveling, our tech Mike Isler flew to Argentina to assist in capturing this momentous occasion. Working with Productions Autrement Dit and Airbus Helicopters, along with local helicopter operator Helicopters.AR, we had a great team in place.

40 Years Of Lamborghini

One cold day in 2018, Steve Waldie of Interstate Motorsport had a vision of 4 Lamborghini’s racing down an air strip followed by helicopters to shoot something that has never been done. Steve’s first step was reaching out to his friend Jose Montanez from Gotham Films. Jose got the Shotover K1 ready with 3 red cameras mounted on it so he can capture this moment in a resolution better than Imax. This hammerhead camera rig is one of a kind and was perfect for this shoot.

Shotover HAMMERHEAD Array and 12K Aerial Filming

In December 2017, Gotham Films took delivery of its HAMMERHEAD. The Gotham HAMMERHEAD system is a modification to the Shotover K1 gimbal, making it possible to mount three RED DSMC2 or ARRI Alexa Mini cameras. Having three cameras aligned in an array makes possible incredibly high-resolution filming.
