Java Post Aerial Photography is working on some aerial camera tests for our friends at Talking Dog Studios, who are specialists in augmented reality, virtual reality, and interactive 3D visuals. In preparation for some test flying, Java Post's UAV technician and camera operator, Trevor Bennett, was tasked with replacing our UAV's usual 3-axis stabilized gimbal and camera package with a…

Why hang one camera from your UAV, when you could hang six? Our friends at Talking Dog Studios are big into virtual reality, augmented reality, and interactive 3D. They approached our Java Post Aerial Photography crew about taking one of their virtual reality camera rigs into the sky. Talk about a bird's eye view! If a bird had six eyes, that is. So our UAV technician, Trevor, made up a…

Whether it be stills, film, or video, if you're a fan of vintage photography gear and you happen to find yourself in Bangkok, Thailand one day with nothing to do, here's a tip from one of our Java Post Production staffers who was recently there: Get thee hence to the the BMK Mall in downtown Bangkok.

Recently, our Java Post Aerial Photography pilots, Jack and Trevor, found time to slip out to our private aerial test facilities and run our new Freefly ALTA UAV through its paces.

This…

Everyone here at Java Post Production and Java Post Aerial Photography hopes you have a knock-out Boxing Day! Enjoy the crazy sales in the stores and the leftover turkey! Hopefully, you're not enjoying crazy sales of leftover turkey in the stores. That would be weird. And likely violate food safety regulations.

The newest addition to the Java Post Aerial Photography squadron is our Freefly ALTA multi-rotor UAV. The Freefly ALTA was chosen by Java Post to be our heavy lift UAV - flying cameras such as the Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera and the soon-to-be-released RED RAVEN camera (being delivered to Java Post in February, 2016) - and delivering cinema-quality aerial images for feature film, documentary,…

Today, the Java Post Production and Java Post Aerial Photography crew did the thing we love to do almost as much as creating great video productions. Yes, we mean eating and drinking. It was our staff Christmas lunch and so, in celebration of the season, we stuffed ourselves silly with delicious Jack Keaton's barbecue. God bless us, everyone...and pass the brisket! Clockwise from lower left…
