Capturing HD video of skiers in treacherous alpine conditions places unique demands on both people and equipment. For this reason, Varuna Entertainment chose the compact, fixed zoom-lens convenience of Canon’s XH G1 HD Camcorder to shoot its new series Ski Patrol: Crystal Mountain, which debuted on truTV this past October.
"It was a hazardous shoot", Ball explains. "We followed and filmed a ski patrol as they rescued people and blew-up potential avalanche sites all over the mountain for the entire season. The XH G1 HD Camcorder really helped us out a lot because of its compact size, ease of maneuverability and its durability. They were absolute warriors on the mountain."
"The XH G1 HD Camcorder worked out great for that series", agrees Varuna Entertainment director of photography Chun Ming Huang. "The XH G1’s 20x zoom lens is fast. And you can start off pretty darn "wide and go in pretty darn tight, so you get that good variety right there.
