A discussion we had on-site revolved around gimbals mounted on helicopters, airplanes, and automobiles and how those systems, even \u201cthe best\u201d still experience some jitter\/vibration which is often stabilized which causes the footage to be cropped in.<\/p>\n<p>The technology built for Big Sky helps eliminate a massive percentage of this vibration, and even without it, the sheer amount of resolution the camera offers can provide a ton of space for post-production stabilization. This alone could be a game changer for Hollywood when capturing aerial and \u201cchase scene\u201d footage from vehicles allowing for even more detail than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Big Sky\u2019s premiere experience at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespherevegas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener\">Sphere in Las Vegas<\/a> is set to open on September 29 with the first of 25 concerts by U2, as well as many other film and live event projects that will be announced soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sphere Studios has developed a brand new type of cinema camera called The Big Sky.
