“[I’d use a tool] if it was faster, smaller, and recallable, and I could move it on-axis. It's about being able to place and recall a camera in a way that doesn’t require me"
AJ Bleyer
Director, Zero-G Filmmaker
“It’s crucial that I capture high resolution action shots throughout an entire zero g flight so I have the best content to publish. ORB is free floating and can track me like a professional during weightlessness."
Camille Elizabeth Bergin
Space Communicator
“Being able to autonomously move the camera in any way you want would expand the creative toolbox."
Matt Nowak
Producer, Pixelbook in Zero-G
“I was limited because you're always shooting in one direction with fixed cameras. I thought how can I do as many different things as possible? Focal distance, props, activities—you have to decide because you don't have many parabolas"
Daniel Ferguson
Director @ Cosmic Picture
“Brilliant Idea! It is hard to film these things and anything to make the production easier so the creative can do their thing [is helpful]."
Kenneth Bolido
VP Creative @ Overclock Media
“Cues, entering, exiting & interacting in the zero gravity environment, is virtually impossible to plan, especially if you had a fixed camera like I did [...] I think the biggest challenge of filming in space is how do you make sure the action stays in frame?"
Richard Garriott
Astronaut, Filmed "Apogee of Fear"
Join a rich legacy of filmmakers
From the first scripted short Apogee
of Fear, to IMAX movies, to Jannicke Mikkelsen's shots aboard Dragon,
we've interviewed the pioneers
of space cinematography.
