Tokyo Zokei University / Faculty of Zokei, Department of Design
I am Muneyuki Okamura in the Camera Operation Department and have been working here for 23 years.
I work as an aerial camera operator on a helicopter.
The images of aerial filming can leave the impact that gives you an “Oh” feeling, from a wide shot for the opening to action such as a car chase, and I think this is the strength of aerial shooting. Then, to film those videos, realizing the images of a director or photographer and supplying techniques is my work. More specifically, that work is varied, without saying the operation of the stabilized gimbal, from choosing the camera and lenses and setting up, to the meeting and suggesting the camerawork. The moment when I capture the footage that might bring goosebumps while operating is pretty enjoyable.
I have always liked watching movie/drama-making videos, then got to know the field of grip, and I entered this company. So now, after all that, I am working as an operator, and supporting the creativity from the back by craftsmanship is, I think the attractiveness of this work.
