"The Battle of Culloden" - Nobles Gate (for National Trust for Scotland)

A major re-enactment of the Battle of Culloden, shot on Panasonic HDX900 cameras, will form a 360º projection to be displayed at a new National Trust visitor centre opening November 2007 at the original battleground, near Inverness.

Craig Collinson, director for the shoot:
"Dramatically recreating the Battle of Culloden for the National Trust's new Visitor Centre with 300 cast, horses, cannons and 40 crew in 2 days was always going to be a challenge. Luckily we had the full support of Hammerhead and the team in Edinburgh who suggested using the Panasonic HDX900. They couldn't have given us better advice - we ended up using 2 on the shoot and got fantastic results. Cheers Hammerhead, we couldn't have done it without you!"
