Building Custom VR Cameras : Inside Felix & Paul Studios Episode 03

From their inception 10 years ago, the need to navigate uncharted storytelling territories encouraged Felix & Paul Studios to create-from hardware to firmware-tools that didn’t exist. Delve into the history of generations of custom cameras, each specifically crafted to redefine virtual reality filmmaking.
For the first time ever, the studio’s camera wizards open the doors to the secret “Cam Shop '' where every custom camera has been designed and adapted. Co-founder Paul Raphaël demystifies the intricacies between panoramic and stereoscopic filmography, tracing the lineage of the studio’s camera designs. Learn how the studio adapted the Z-Cam to shoot inside the International Space Station and about the challenges of filming in the vacuum of space. As the episode unfolds, get a glimpse into the future as they ambitiously craft a camera for the moon.
