Weisscam’s recent Global Success Stories

Weisscam products and productions are works of passion. We cannot think of a better industry to be a part of. So when we receive compliments and stories of how our systems have helped others in this field, we are always (modestly) proud.

Here you find out how colleagues and peers are experiencing Weisscam products:

In Great Britain, camera rental firm Movietech has named Weisscam high-speed systems as their “system of choice” since 2009; after extensive testing and continued satisfaction with their results. DoP Gary Holder was one of the first directors to work with the new WEISSCAM HS-2 during his shooting of Jaguar automobiles and became “completely convinced” of the camera’s quality and potential to realize his directorial visions and customer’s needs.

“We recently used the WEISSCAM HS-2 from Movietech … the results were amazing! The light sensitivity of this high-speed camera is the best I‘ve experienced to date, with absolutely no compromise to the definition! I have no doubt I will be using the WEISSCAM HS-2 for many more productions to come.“

In the USA and Canada, one of our longest and best partners, Denny Clairmont – he laid the foundation for Weisscam’s presence in the USA and has been an invaluable supporter and contributor ever since – brought the first WEISSCAM HS-2 to Hollywood in 2009 and has successfully added 3 locations in Canada. As a result of Denny’s great contributions, Weisscam now offers adjected to South  Amercia camera systems for rental in New York as well as in Atlanta. 

„You can shoot up to 2.000 fps and see it right back in slow motion in 1080p without rendering it first - very cool”, Denny Clairmont, President of Clairmont Camera

“The WEISSCAM HS-2 signal records onto P2, SxS and HDCAM - it is the first high speed camera that fits YOUR workflow. And the remote control Hand Unit HU-2 knocks me out - it’s so simple to use”, Tony Tamberelli Sr., Tamberelli Digital, New York

“The WEISSCAM HS-2 offers solutions above and beyond the competition, like easier workflow for our clients and more options in the camera”, Paul O’Daniel, PC&E, Atlanta, Georgia

“We trust the WEISSCAM HS-2 as the best option for high-speed. It combines superb image quality with a friendly interface system without losing its professional range of image control”, Jonas Pagazaurtundua, Camaras y Luces, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Stargate Studios puts the WEISSCAM HS-2 to the test:
Earlier this year, Stargate Studios set out to see exactly what the WEISSCAM HS-2 was really all about. Challenging it with a variety of shot situations, lighting and camera speeds and even multiple cinematographers.

“Most amazing high speed camera I have ever shot with. It has held up to underwater, high-speed, wildlife, low light, minimum focus, maximum depth. It really is an amazing piece of equipment", ASC Sam Nicholson

Cameraman Stephen Williams finally finds “a benefit for going digital” after experiencing the WEISSCAM HS-2 for the very first time. “From what I saw on set, it’s the first time in 30 years that I have shot digital and the production benefited from it. I found the camera 100 % reliable and had no issues with noise or banding from the sensor.”
