Ferdi is an experienced Action-Director, Stunt-Coordinator, Stuntperformer and Action- Cameraoperator with many international Credits filmed all over the globe. Together with Daniel Leavitt he invented the original "Warpcam" in 2012. Inventing this unique system was necessary in order to capture shots in a way never before possible. Because of their history in the stunt-business it gives them the ability to put the camera in the action and move it in a way not possible with traditional camera systems and traditional operators. They have been working with warpcam prototypes for 7 years now. While Warpcam can be used to achieve standard, Russian arm, steady-cam, movi, techno-crane, cable-cam, and dolly style shots. It can also do many things that these technologies cannot. It can be quickly attached or detached to drones, or cable-cams. It can be used to go through tight spaces that other camera systems could not. And because of the nearly unlimited freedom of movement, and perfectly stabilized image. It allows us to shoot in a style not possible before. Utilizing this style we can do full scale fight scenes with actors, establish locations in seconds, travel large distances seemingly instantly, and much more.
