Woohoo! We just received our new Camalot vests! You can get one of these and also support a good cause! Why and how? We are aiming towards lowering our carbon footprint to (almost) zero. That's why we will be compensating all our energy consumption by planting trees. We will do this together with Carbon Karma (www.carbonkarma.nl) who will plant the trees for us in Spain. Farmers in Agroforestry projects restore the landscape by battling desertification while meanwhile increasing their production. This way all our CO2 emissions will be compensated and we will be indirectly supporting the local economy. Do you want to support us? Come by our office to get one! Available in all sizes! 👍

New at Camalot Amsterdam: the Cmotion Cinefade. This camera accessory allows cinematographers to gradually transition between a deep and a shallow depth of field in one shot at constant exposure. This way the cinematographer can accentuate a moment to make it more dramatic or make a client's product stand out in commercials. ▶️ Check out our demonstration video to find out how this works exactly.
