2. HOW? | Custom Gear

Not a GoPro Vlog. But Human Eye Replication.

Eschewing wide angle GoPros, we’ve employed a custom camera system designed to replicate the human eye’s perception, offering a true-to-life experience. The gear is crafted to immerse viewers in Elon’s world without distortion or rapid movements.

Our ultra-light, low-key body cam system ensures unobtrusive filming, while capturing stabilised footage up to 6K resolution. Remotely guided under the watchful eye of our DP.

An additional cameraman captures Elon’s head and shoulders from behind, offering an alternate first-person perspective. This unique blend of perspectives helps prevent motion sickness for the viewer.

Director & DoP Genius. In one person.

Laszlo Kadar is that perfect hybrid – a Director and also a DoP. His work shows off his exquisite cinematic sensitivity both with terrific imagery and storytelling ambition. Laszlo is best known for his beautifully shot car commercials on all the top marques including Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, Porsche, VW and Bridgestone. But he’s that extremely rare breed of DoP who also has a light and human touch in directing talent from professional actors to real people and stars.

WHY?

Real-Time POV Documentaries will Survive AI Film Disruption

As filmmakers, we’re driven to challenge the impending AI-dominated movie landscape. We think authentic human POV experiences will thrive alongside AI Cinema.

WHY? | Our Duty

Living A Day as Leonardo Da Vinci: How would it change you?

We believe in learning by experiences. Imagine walking a day in the shoes of Leonardo da Vinci, Steve Jobs, or Albert Einstein. How would that impact your life? For us, just thinking about it isn’t enough.

It’s our dream to capture an entire day in Elon’s life from his perspective for future generations. Now is the time to start with one day. We believe Elon’s POV documentary could empower millions to take meaningful action in their own lives.
