Red Digital Cinema
Ateles Films has used RED cameras since 2008 and was the first to shoot a wildlife documentary on RED for Dutch TV (2012) and Dutch cinemas (2013). RED cameras are their main workhorse, offering strong creative flexibility with a wide range of lenses and gear.They also provide compact field packages to reduce transport costs and simplify global production logistics.
Post Production
Ateles Films has extensive experienced in editing and delivering in 4K, mastering high-resolution workflows and advanced post-production techniques. Our experience grows with each project, ensuring the highest quality in every production.
Tree Climbing
Ateles Films has extensive experience filming from the canopy, achieving unique perspectives in Guatemala's jungles and Morocco's forests.
Whether with a small crew or a larger team, setups can be achieved with single cameras or complex motion control systems with dollies and gimbals.
Drones
Ateles Films are highly experienced with drones, from building large models to using advanced RTF drones with 4K+ cameras in diverse environments like cities, jungles, mountains, and deserts. Drones offer new filmmaking perspectives, reaching previously inaccessible places, and are lightweight and easy to transport globally.
Macro
Using custom-made lenses, Ateles Films' macro lens captures unique footage of the natural world.
Ateles Films has developed a special "macro scope" that attaches directly to their RED camera, creating a large depth of field and providing a bug's-eye view of the world.
