HI-POD NEWS

Bellaire, Michigan, August 22nd, 2004- Filmmaker Evan Jacobs utilized a prototype water boot for the HI-POD while shooting his latest film on location in Northern Michigan. The film centers around a day by the lake for two teenage girls. The waterfront location posed a unique challenge for the director because it severely limited the camera angles that would be achievable using traditional equipment and the skeleton crew. “I’ve worked in and around water before and it’s always a slow, cumbersome process” says Jacobs. The HI-POD provided a flexible, fast solution to an otherwise daunting cinematic challenge. “Using the HI-POD, I was able to set-up and shoot faster than I would have imagined. And the footage looks breathtaking.”
