Tommie Rekstad of Pink Elephant recently provided three Polecam's to two of the largest TV stations in Denmark, to capture highlights of the parliament election.
The IndiePOV, a major advance in ultra-compact cameras, will be introduced on the Polecam stand (10.C49) at IBC2011.
Designed and built by Vienna-based Indiecam GmbH, the IndiePOV incorporates a high-grade 2/3 inch CMOS imager and delivers 1080p HDTV at up to 30 frames per second in 10 bit uncompressed 4:2:2 or RAW modes. The camera measures only 40 x 40 x 100 millimetres and weighs just 170 grammes.
The RSPB invited Steffan Hewitt, cameraman and founder of Polecam, to film gannets at Bass Rock in late June 2011.
The shoot was planned to include a stint actually on Bass Rock where we could get up close and personal with the nesting gannets under the watchful eye of Maggie Sheddan from the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick.

What brings an innocent young Swede into the competitive high-adrenalin business of television production? In my case, it all began at school. I developed an early fascination for photography and created slide shows that were presented as end-of-semester happenings to my fellow students. Unlike television, you can actually watch a live slide-show audience. My productions were received with appreciation.
