Shake it up, Baby...Twist and Shoot! With apologies to the Fab Four, we're just having too much fun with our latest production tool: the Java Post Steadi-Arm. Using the same solid, GPS stability that makes our Javacopter high-definition aerial footage so stunning and production-friendly, the versatile Java Post Steadi-Arm allows an operator to basically "fly" the camera along the ground, while…

Never wanting to let any excuse for silly costumes and good food get by us, today was the annual Halloween Lunch at the Java Post Production offices. The scary menu reflected the dark side of some of the Java team. We're trying not to read too much into it, since we figure the required therapy (and potential forensic investigation) might take too much time. Better to just leave things alone, not…

If you've witnessed the beautiful shots that Java Post Production is able to achieve using our "Java-Copter," you've probably admired the amazingly smooth stability of the footage. The Java-Copter can capture high definition footage in places that conventional aerial camera platforms cannot possibly go. However, there are still places where even the Java-Copter can't go (or at least shouldn't…

"Safety" Dave Speerbrecker, the manager of safety for Thyssen Mining, approached Java Post with this very interesting project.

  In a recent animated television commercial project for NOW Communications, Java Post Production animators Kevin Drysdale and Tomás Ibar took original 2-D drawings created by artist Sam Bradd and then used those to create 3-D animated characters. The final look was then refined so that the characters would retain some of the 2-D feel of Sam Bradd's original drawings. The…

We here at Java Post Production haven't had so much fun with a new production tool since we installed our fancy cappuccino machine. Our new mini helicopter (AKA "the Javacopter") allows us to capture amazing high-definition aerial images and go places that conventional helicopter-mounted cameras can't possibly go. (Or, at the very least, can't go without scaring the bejeezus out of the…
