Our journey began with a spark of creativity and a touch of inspiration from the iconic 'bullet time' scene in The Matrix. Despite a tight budget and several technical challenges, our team, a close group of friends, set out to craft a metal installation named the "Spinning Camera Rig". Although it had its quirks, this device had one mission: to swiftly rotate a camera around a subject, mimicking the groundbreaking cinematography we admired so much.
What we initially perceived as a fun experiment, unexpectedly caught the attention of an individual from Netflix. Impressed by the raw potential and innovation displayed in our video, they approached us with an exciting collaboration alongside Adobe. Not only did this mark our very first paid video project, but it also paved the way for our foray into the world of professional videography.
With the earnings from this milestone project, we reinvested in our dreams, acquiring a brand-new camera. Bolstered by our initial success and equipped with better gear, we revisited our brainchild and launched the "Spinning Camera Rig 2.0". This video stands as a testament to our growth, dedication, and the endless possibilities that arise from chasing one's passion.
