EMBS Shoots Skilz Commercial at 300FPS in San Diego with Epic-M

EMBS cinematographer Paul Nordin headed to San Diego on August 8th to film a commercial spot for high-end sporting equipment manufacturer Skilz.  The spot was directed by Iain Harris.  EMBS’s new Epic-M camera was used for two main reasons: its high-resolution at 5k allowed for easy re-framing and zooming in during post production, and shooting at ultra slow 300 frames per second allowed the sporting equipment to be beautifully featured.  The shooting was over a two-day period and was primarily performed in a warehouse in downtown San Diego.  Examples will be posted to the EMBS reel page when available.

EMBS Announces Availability of its New Red Epic-M Digital Cinema Camera System!

We are very psyched to announce availability of our new Red Epic-M digital cinema camera kit to the gear we offer in film and video productions.

This amazing tour-de-force of camera technology defines the current state of the art.  In a small 6 pound package it offers full 5k images at capture speeds up to 121 frames per second.  At 2k resolution, it captures an astounding 300 frames per second for ultra slow motion shots.  The camera also has a high-dynamic range mode which allows for shooting with minimal lighting in demanding situations.

In addition to the Epic-M, we have on order a set of LumaTech Illumina S-35 prime lenses.  More on these when they arrive, but they will be a fantastic addition to the Epic-M with their low-light capability and sharp images.

This exciting addition ads high-end capability to our established Canon 5Dmk2 kit and Panasonic HVX200.
