Wescam sets out with three separate products and three separate missions to cover the Molson CART race in Toronto this weekend. Toronto is the third in a series of races Wescam has shot for the film. Other races includes Long Beach, Detroit and possibly Chicago.
Footage covers wide aerials of the track and race and tight shots of the cars competing.
Since the track was on Belle Isle off of Detroit, we were able to shoot the cars right down at track level by flying very low to the water just off shore down the back straight-away. We also did some shooting about 300 feet over the race. They've hired Wescam operator Derek Lovie to shoot the race. For over 20 years, Wescam has been the tool of choice in stabilized camera technology for the film and video industry. Wescam images can be seen in thousands of major motion pictures, commercials, music videos and live broadcast events around the world.
