VR Experience In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats wins at VR Awards
Another fantastic VR experience from East City Films, ‘In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats ‘ scoops the Best Location Based Experience at the VR Awards. Congratulations to all those involved. TX are proud to have been involved with this project, providing the team and equipment to shoot VR video, fly drones and provide motion control rigs.
Winner of IDFA’s DocLab Award for Immersive Non-Fiction, In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats is a visceral, ecstatic ode to a time when what mattered most was chasing that next dance-floor high.
“Akin to a time machine – or at least the closest thing we have to one so far … Surrounds you with sound, senses and the thrill of being young.” – Why Now

BBC Doctors comes to an end after 23 years, 24 seasons
It is unfortunate news to many, that the long-running and hugely popular daytime TV drama BBC Doctors has not been renewed by the BBC after 23 years. On 18th October the BBC has confirmed Doctors will not be renewed for 2024, citing “super inflation in drama production”.
With over 4,500 episodes shot and produced to date, and Transmission TX are immensely proud to be a part of this long running drama, providing Crew, Equipment and Vehicles for every season since it started in 2000.
We have always seen BBC Doctors as a proving ground for hopeful Technical crew (Camera, Sound and Electricians amongst others) as well as many other departments, to ‘cut their teeth’, giving them a chance to work on a television set, whilst learning the ropes and getting vital experience for future roles on other productions in their careers.
Shadowing also allowed many an eager trainee to experience the thrill and drama of being part of a technical crew while learning essential skills and set etiquette.
Understandably, this has raised a number of queries and concern from many people and sectors in the Midlands, and how axing BBC Doctors will affect the jobs and livelihoods of many in and around the Drama Village at Selly Oak in Birmingham.
You can read the BBC press release statement here: https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/statements/doctors
There have been a number of petitions setup, the most popular currently setup by the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain who have vocally criticised this decision. You can show your support and try to save the show by signing one of these petitions, the most active currently being the one set up by the WGGB:

Enjoying Wimbledon?
Here’s a 360-degree experience we shot in 11K 360 Video for this Wimbledon inspired Vodafone Commercial featuring Emma Raducanu:
Filming in 11K Provides it’s own challenges, having to make sure everything in the shot is meant to be there (across all 360-degrees!) and of course stitching together to present the footage best as possible once captured.
A great production to work on, and an interesting alternate angle into Wimbledon Tennis via 360-degree experience. TX provided 360-degree cameras, kit and crew.

360 Degrees Video for Hamlet!
360 Degrees Video? He’s behind you! No, it’s not the Christmas pantomime that came early…
SphereVision and Transmission TX have workied together on a VR City Production, to capture William Shakespeare’s Hamlet in 360-degrees for a fresh take on theatre.
Using a complex 360 camera system (a combination of both Odyssey and Omni camera systems), along with a Laser Scanner. The captured footage then is augmented and enhanced by the use of overlaying the 3D model, converted from a point cloud (using Pointfuse’s rapid point cloud to vector software).
Once in post, this allows the use of depth maps to aid the editors to add some pretty cool effects. Enhancing what is already an interesting take on a standard theatre production!
Check back soon for a link to the finished piece. We love these innovative ways of utilising 360 degrees video, it’s going to look great.
A great project to work on!

TX Films Multi-Camera Advert for TalkTalk
Over the festive period, Transmission TX were tasked with installing a multi-camera rig and assisting with the capture and shooting of footage, for a series of adverts by TalkTalk.

Rigged in a relatively short period, as covertly as possible, to avoid interaction with the family. This allowed us to capture raw, ‘fly on the wall’ footage of your average, everyday family in the UK living their day-to-day lives, capturing the spirit of TalkTalk’s message ‘This stuff matters’.

TX help capture high quality imagery of Exeter Shopping Centre
Using SphereVision Systems, TX have helped capture high quality imagery of the Exeter Shopping Centre to aid in the multi-million pound redevelopment.
Working alongside Chartered Land Surveyors M J Rees, Arithmetica captured a mixture of both 360 degree panoramic and handheld images, which were then linked with original survey drawings. The combination of traditional and high tech surveys will allow the end client to review and compare the condition of specific areas of the high profile development project, pre- and post-construction.
"Having agreed a project brief with our client, we then approached Arithmetica to discuss the integration of high definition imagery with more traditional survey plans," commented Sarah Hurley of Bristol based M J Rees. "The inclusion of both 360 degree imagery and handheld stills, registered to the original plans, was seen as crucial to the brief in order to ensure quick and easy navigation of complex drawings, and allow for comparison of the site pre- and post-construction."
MJ Rees was commissioned to survey an area pinpointed for development within the Guildhall Shopping Centre. The area, part of the Grade 2 listed shopping arcade, included former offices and retail units as well as ornate facades and other architectural features, all at ground, first and second floor levels. Working alongside M J Rees, Arithmetica captured more than 100 360 degree panoramic images supplemented with more than 700 high resolution SLR static images. Using SphereVision Project Builder, they delivered an interactive dilapidation record of the site to M J Rees who, using the surveyed position of the camera systems, referenced the high definition imagery to the project drawings and produced a schedule of images for use alongside the plans.
The Guildhall Shopping centre is located in the heart of Exeter's historic quarter. The £7 million revamp by owners Aviva Investors will see the reintroduction of shop fronts which were blanked out in the 1970s, the creation of terraced seating around the 12th century Saint Pancras Church, as well as additional retail and leisure space, improved walkways and toilets. The plans approved by Exeter City Council were described by Councillors as 'beautiful architecture' and 'a great improvement'.

Transmission TX & SphereVision Reveal Henry VIII’s Excesses in Stunning 360 Degrees...
Forming part of the Historic Royal Palaces Tudors on Tour event, the 360 degree interactive cinema experience explores the working kitchens, wine cellar and fine decorations of Hampton Court, inviting the audience to gather evidence of the King’s excessive spending for the treasury.
Created by specialist production company TX, using a SphereVision 360 degree recording and production system, the fifteen minute film was first debuted at Tatton Park in Cheshire, where nearly 4,000 children immersed themselves in the digital 360 degree pop up cinema from Igloo Vision on the first day alone. Tudors on Tour, including the SphereVision film, will return to the Tower of London from 23-26 July 2015.
“Working in 360 degrees allows us to create an environment that really interacts with the audience, in this case immersing them in Henry VIII’s extravagant Hampton Court,” said Tracey Manasseh, a specialist 360 producer working with SphereVision. “From the moment they step into the Palace’s courtyard until they outwit the King’s guards to make their escape, the audience is captivated and engaged by the 360 degree scene.”
The 360 degree representation of Hampton Court was filmed by TX using a SphereVision recording system in just three days on location at Hampton Court. The opening scenes feature a lone Tudor nobleman who conspiratorially invites the audience to collect evidence of Henry VIII’s excessive spending. The film transports watchers to the Palace’s kitchens where they turn meat on a spit and help a struggling kitchen hand identify exotic ingredients such as lemons, apricots and peppercorns, before whisking them into the King’s palatial wine cellars. Aimed at four-six-year-olds, the interactive experience continues with the audience learning how to bow, curtsy and even dance, before ending with the nobleman testing them on what evidence they have uncovered.
“The SphereVision 360 video recording, production and playback system is easy to use, from onsite filming to the end user sitting at his computer or, in this case, watching in a pop up cinema,” said Manasseh. “It has enormous potential for a range of applications beyond the tourism and heritage markets, including security, site management, risk assessment as well as health and safety management and training.”

Large parts of the Thames Valley have been seriously affected by the recent poor weather with houses, shops and roads being left flooded and inaccessible.
The need for Insurers, Environment & Government Agencies plus First Responders to gain on the ground awareness of the extent of the damage and to assess and archive the extent of damage to properties has never been higher.

TX Augments Bristol Proms by Remote Camera Control
Jan Lisiecki enlisted the help of TX technology to bring a new digital twist to the orchestration of an updated version of the ‘Bristol Proms’. Honouring the original Bristol Proms that was originally staged at Bristol Old Vic in the 1840's.
On Monday 29th July, the 18-year-old piano virtuoso, Jan Lisiecki, found himself surrounded by a host of HD remote-control Bradley PTZ cameras, a virtual reality camera (Microsoft Kinect) and various slow motion cameras. The whole system provided an incredible visual background that complimented Jan’s masterful renditions of Chopin. The presentation included slow-motion video of the keys being struck, water glasses vibrating and massive wireframe models projected above the piano.
