Capturing The Amazon Traveling and shooting in the Amazon required that Johnson and his team travel extremely light. The entire work f low included a peli case for the 20 megapixel camera gear, several drones, a laptop and Blackmagic eGPU Pro. With the Blackmagic eGPU Pro, the SeeBoundless team can bring desk top level graphics with them any where. Once on location, the team mapped out the areas for shooting and built a grid and dome map. From there, they were able to map out how to photograph every ten degrees of space. "The challenge facing us was how to capture the trees and deforestation on a large scale and how to shoot from just above the tree line when the trees were constantly in motion," Johnson said. "Every day we would get between 1,000 to 1,500 images, and we were able to stitch them altogether on site thanks to the Blackmagic eGPU Pro's power." " With the eGPU, we were able to fly a pattern, and by the end of the day, the stitch was ready. Shooting in the Amazon is incredibly difficult , and we knew that we had to get these huge panoramic shots and stitch them quickly because any thing could happen. We even had birds at tacking the drones, so every second I could save with the Blackmagic eG PU Pro was important ," he concluded.
