Counting wildlife in Alaska using our Cineflex V14 HD: ZatzWorks has been capturing images for cinema and broadcast for two decades. Our Alaska-based Cineflex V14 is now also being used to help wildlife researchers who are working with sensitive species. Combined with our helicopter- one of the quietest machines available today– our Cineflex can capture [...]

In August ZatzWorks flew to Akutan and Dutch Harbor with our Cineflex HD and helicopter to shoot Alaska aerials for NHK. Shirou Kagawa from NHK Enterprises is producing three programs about the geography and wildlife of the Aleutians, and ZatzWorks traveled there to help create amazing aerials of the land and wildlife. Outfitted with marine [...]

We continue work on the Katmai program using the HDCAM and our Alaska based Cineflex. The bears are magical, and we are reminded again how nice it is to work with animals that are use to living and feeding in high food-density areas. The bears of Katmai are not so much use to humans as [...]

It’s the single busiest fishing day in more than twenty five years. Our Alaska-based Cineflex is filming the event from our helicopter and capturing this amazing and strange human spectacle for several clients. Recorded on HDCAM SR, the event is important because it illustrates the commercial value of the fishery and supports efforts by Alaskan’s [...]

Along with a crew working for PBS Nature, ZatzWorks traveled to the Arctic in search of Alaska’s largest caribou herd. The Western Arctic Caribou Herd is almost never captured in film or video because their range is so remote. We traveled to Kotzebue, Alaska with the ZatzWorks helicopter and Cineflex to find and film the [...]

This month we began a two-year project to capture aerials and ground shots of the natural beauty of Katmai National Park, Alaska with the Cineflex and F900. The Park is one of the best places in the world to view brown bears, salmon, and towering volcanoes that help make up the Ring of Fire. Working [...]

ZatzWorks is helping walrus scientists assess the size and composition of Alaska’s walrus population. Using our Cineflex from over 3000′, we are capturing images that allow researchers not only to count walrus, but also determine the composition (males,females, calves) of the population. Our Cineflex provides unmatched resolution of the animals- even better than NOAA’s latest [...]

Ever wonder what a bald eagle flying over Alaska sees? From our experience shooting cineflex aerials all over the State of Alaska, we can tell you it’s different every day but always incredibly majestic. But you don’t have to just take our word for it– check out our latest demo to see for yourself. We [...]

April was a busy month for the ZatzWorks Cineflex and helicopter in Alaska. We captured aerial footage ranging from air to airs of migrating swans and humpback whales in Southeast, Alaska to Walrus haul-outs in Unalekleet, Alaska. We put our cineflex and helicopter package together for a variety of clients including National Geographic TV and [...]

Most producers know about our Cineflex aerials and wildlife cinematography in Alaska. We also build robotic camera systems that operate over long distances. It’s not our primary work, but several producers have recently expressed interest in using our technology, so we thought we’d post a link to some of that work. The link below gets [...]
