They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? This time with the Olympus PEN camera

OK, dragged that reference outta some cinema history, BUT it’s true.
You’ve heard from the majors and their incredible HD capabilities, and it’s time you heard from another major, Olympus.
After looking at the full field, Director Of Photography Dean Semler, ASC, went with the Olympus PEN series for some of the most dramatic footage of thoroughbred racing you have ever seen on the big screen.

Kris Krossove, was the 2nd unit DP and Operator and he’ll walk us through how they did and what the advantages of the Olympus were.

Not that you would, but it’s nice to know you could, and that someone already did. Like Disney.
