Kyoto Taito (Uzumasa) who has produced numerous masterpiece dramasShochiku StationIn the stage, using a set of genuine historical dramas to shoot video works using the latest equipment such as DJI's drone Workshop "DJI PROFESSIONAL AERIAL WORKSHOP"Was held on Friday, November 10, 2017. I was interviewed because I was able to infiltrate Japan's first event of unparalleled nature that shooting with the most advanced drone at the historic shooting station will be done.

Anyway, the following movie was filmed at the Shonchiku shooting center of Dai Qin + Drone and after editing it became a single work. In the scene of a sword fight that is a point of view of a historical drama, it is easy to realize angles that required large cranes and rails, and even a completely new expression has been realized It is a demonstration video that you can see.

On the day of the interview, I was shaken by a streetcar from Kyoto city and came to the Shochiku shooting center. In the vicinityToei Kyoto Movie VillageThere is a theme park that can be enjoyed by ordinary people, but the Shochiku shooting center is a photography shop for complete professionals. Therefore, there is no opportunity for ordinary people to step in quickly.


Entering into the set, I fall into the illusion that I really slipped into the world of the historical drama. In this place where many stars left a lot of work, it is surprising to say that the first workshop in Japan using drone will be held. Participants who were able to visit this day were definitely able to meet the unique opportunity.


On the day of the workshop, first see the demonstration video in the preview room of the Shochiku shooting station, then move on to the set and see how it was shot.


In the demonstration video, we shoot the sword fight by three ronin in patterns of three patterns of aerial shot by drone, cut from low angle using radio controlled car, and cut by hand stabilizer, A sword fighting scene is being built up.


After showing the demonstration video, we took a tour of the shooting scene in the actual set. It was a sunny day and it was a perfect day for shooting this day.


First of all it appeared a set of cameras on radio controlled cars. By running around in and out of the set, I shoot a powerful shot from a place close to the performer.


On the radio controlled car, a stabilizer that cancels the shake with three axes and realizes a stable image "Ronin 2"Only the gimbal part is mounted, and the high-end digital cinema camera made by RED is set on it.


By the way, the radio controlled car itself is like this. It is shaped to place a camera on a stand floated through a spring on a 1/5 scale radio controlled car. It is said that the maximum speed reaches as high as 45 km / h, and it is said that it is often used for sports broadcasts and PV shooting of artists.


It looks like this is actually shooting with this radio controlled car. According to the conventional method, there was a difficulty such as setting a camera rail in the set, setting the camera on the trolley, photographing while moving with human power, and many restrictions on the angle, but if this is a radio controlled car It is possible to shoot around the set freely.

The next demonstration was taken with a full set that allows you to take hand-held shots by setting RONIN 2 in a round frame "rig" and hanging on the arm "ProArm" extending from the shoulder. By the way, if you set RONIN 2 with rig and ProArm as a set, the price isMore than 1 million yenIt is a perfect professional specification model.


It looks like this shooting with this camera. When you see the actual completed movie, you can see that it is a very stable image. Although it seems to be shooting while moving easily, in fact it is full set and the total weight exceeds 15 kg. Actually I tried to carry it under this condition, but it was not such a thing that I could move with a middle waist like this photographer, so it can be said that this is exactly a professional photography.

And finally, DJI's drone "Inspire 2Aerial photographs using 'was done. As you can see at the bottom left of the photo, shooting will be done with two people, responsible for controlling the camera while watching the actual video and the pilot that skips the drone. Piloting and shooting by one person is also possible, but it is forbidden by the law that pilots take their eyes off the drones, in order to reliably keep the picture, two people system is indispensable in the professional photography scene I will not.


The scenery actually shot is like this. Although the performer and the drones are not cut into the same frame, the length has been cut considerably, but it is possible to do the aerial shooting near the performer as in the latter half if it is a drone.

Official DJI video which summarizes the situation of the day is also released.

After the demonstration, the manufacturer's products related to production were also exhibited at the booth installed in the studio.

It is possible to perform editing work on a huge displayDell CanvasIt was also exhibited. Video material and editing functions are displayed on the 27-inch display, and it is possible to perform intuitive operation because it can work directly with a digital pen.



SIGMA announced as a lineup for video equipmentCine LensAlso exhibited with slurry.


When you shoot 4K video and the 8K video in the future, the demand for storage also increases dramatically. So by having shock resistance it will survive even on a harsh sceneG-TechnologyStorage related products ......


Professional purveyor, EIZO liquid crystal monitor was also exhibited.


And, of course, the DJI booth. The latest Inspire 2 and RONIN 2 etc were exhibited.


The transmitter of Inspire 2 is the same design as the Phantom series of the company, but the feeling is completely different as metal is used for the material. Although it is an essential transmitter for straps, its reliability seems high.


This transmitter was set up to operate the camera, and on the right hand side was attached a focus ring with a stopper to adjust the focus.


Also, there are many people who actually carry RONIN 2 and ProArm. I actually brought an editorial staff who visited the interview, but even if walking around, the stable image is exactly professional, but the physical strength necessary for actual photography is also a professional class, so that it is not a professional world It was a workshop that I realized that it was too difficult.


◆ bonus
It is a photo shooter that can not be stepped in easily, so I took a few pictures that I took a lot. Buildings of this size are built like this in the premises.

It is possible to move on casters.


Inspire 2 's intense unmatched feeling of tying down with a poppy village. Even laughter will rise up to the sight which transcended totally "era era".


I had a very good tasteTaigaku.


The set was not so-called "Haribote", but it was built so firmly that there were people who really lived, and even when I changed my eyes to the alley, the scenery like a real village had spread.
