Design and development of a special heavy lift remote aerial video drone

无人机（无人机）的使用在许多工业部门正在上升，并在电影摄影领域迅速普及。因此，迫切需要开发一种可靠的系统，用于以超过高清晰度的分辨率捕获非常高质量的图像，以用于戏剧电影制作。四年前，加拿大还没有一家公司能够专门为电影和电视行业提供可靠的遥控航拍视频，并配备电影级摄像机。一些公司尝试在无人机上使用较小的摄像头，但结果非常不稳定，不适合高端叙事或电影项目。如今，市场上充斥着针对普通消费者的小型轻量化系统。虽然这些新系统帮助无人机获得了普及，但高端电影工作的解决方案仍然是一个利基市场。 SkyMotion Video是Cine Panache ltée公司的商标。该公司成立于2011年，旨在开发技术，使电影和电视行业能够从遥控无人机中获得稳定，高质量的电影镜头，此后，该公司已在17个国家的大型制作中运营无人机，从寒冷的北极风到炎热的沙漠，潮湿的热带雨林到开阔的海洋。然而，他们已经成功地操作了携带电影级相机的无人机，但没有电影级配件。由于重量的限制，制作仍然局限于重量轻的静态摄影镜头，而不是超高质量的电影镜头，通常比相机更重。该系统应适应远程跟随对焦系统，甚至允许需要两个相机机身的3D钻机飞行。 通过这项提案，SkyMotion Video和谢里丹学院先进制造和设计技术中心旨在开发一个强大、安全、可靠和灵活的无人机平台，能够容纳一系列专业的电影级电影摄像机和配件，同时提供完全无抖动和振动的镜头。这将为制作人员提供前所未有的灵活性，以选择合适的电影摄影工具，获得上级效果。

The use of UAVs (drones) is rising in many industrial sectors, and gaining rapid popularity in the world of cinematography. Thus, there is urgency to develop a reliable system for capturing very high quality images in resolutions exceeding high definition for theatrical film production. Four years ago, there was no company in Canada capable of providing reliable remote-controlled aerial video specifically for the film and television industry with cinema-grade cameras. Companies experimented with smaller cameras on UAVs, but the results were extremely shaky and not suitable for high-end narrative or film projects. Today, the market is becoming flooded with small lightweight systems targeted to the average consumer. Although these new systems helped the UAVs gain popularity, solutions for high-end cinematic work is still very much a niche market. SkyMotion Video is a trademark of the corporation Cine Panache ltée. Created in 2011 to develop technologies allowing the film and television industry to obtain stable, high-quality cinematic footage from a remote controlled UAV, the company has since operated UAVs for large productions in 17 countries, in extreme conditions from frigid Arctic winds to scorching deserts, humid rainforests to open seas. However, they have successfully operated UAVs carrying cinema-grade cameras, but not cinema-grade accessories. Due to weight restrictions, productions remain limited to light-weight still photography lenses instead of ultra-high-quality cinema lenses which often weigh more than the cameras. The system should accommodate remote follow-focus systems, and even allow for 3D rigs requiring two camera bodies to be flown. Through this proposal, SkyMotion Video and Sheridan College's Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies aim to develop a powerful, safe, reliable and agile drone platform able to accommodate an array of professional cinema-grade motion picture cameras and accessories, while providing completely shake- and vibration-free footage. This will give production crews unprecedented flexibility to choose the right cinematography tools for superior results.
