Aerial footage shot in 4K with RED Dragon for the film “Gotthard”

Aerial filming in the Alps

To celebrate the inauguration of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in 2016 the broadcasting company Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen produced a two-part fictional film in collaboration with Zodiac Pictures, co-produced by ZDF and ORF. The Cineflex and the RED Dragon in 4K configuration were used to capture the aerial footage.

The historical film “Gotthard” about the back-breaking work on what was the construction of the century is of particularly special significance for us at Valair. For us, this filming work completes the circle, albeit as a journey back in time since we have been documenting the progress of building work on the construction project of this century – the NRLA – with the Cineflex V14 for years.

It may be assumed that the film footage of the NRLA construction will become a contemporary history document – and who knows, maybe in the distant future it might also be used in a fictional, historical film?
