Special Screening of “Indy 500: The Inside Line”

Sun., Jan. 20, 2pm – Indy 500: The Inside Line

The world’s first 3-D coverage of the Indianapolis 500 gives viewers an in-depth look at the event preparations and the action of race day as seen through the eyes of today’s most dynamic drivers. Produced for 3net, a joint venture 24 hour 3D channel combining Sony Pictures, IMAX, and Discovery Channel.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director of Photography/Stereographer Bruce Schultz and members of the 3-D crew:
“We spent 8 days on the track, infield, and Gasoline Alley covering all aspects of the race from preparation to the finish line.  Many interviews were shot with the top Indy car drivers – past and present including A.J. Foyt, Al & Bobby Unser, Will Power, Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan, and others.

We had the full cooperation and partnership with the officials at IndyCar who run the race, which provided full and complete access to all of the activities at the track.  Since it was the 100th anniversary of the race, there were many varied events that took place to commemorate the date, and we were allowed to film anything and everything. For the main 3D camera, I used a brand new Hurricane Rig from Genus Manfrotto equipped with two Sony F3 cameras and matching Red 17mm – 50mm lenses, recording out to a Nano Flash 3D recording system.  For B camera, we had a Panasonic 3DA1 also set up with a Nano Flash 3D unit, and C camera was a new Sony TD10 3D camcorder which we sent out for “color” shots of the crowd and in the garages where access was somewhat tight.  To round out the camera packages, we had 2 new GoPro 3D camera systems for mounting on cars and racetrack rails to get those impossible-to-otherwise-get shots.”
