Hoje tive a oportunidade de entrevistar Kevin LaRosa. Ele é piloto e atua com uma empresa para filmagens áreas específicas para a indústria de cinema. Kevin tem vasta experiência em filmes como "Os Vingadores", Homen de Ferro e mais recentemente na nova versão do Top Gun: Maverick. Ele contou em uma conversa descontraída sobre os desafios de pilotar os caças para as cenas desse filme que é sucesso de bilheteria. Ele também contou sobre os equipamentos usados na filmagem (caso das lentes Fujinon da Fujifilm). As lentes Fujinon foram importantes porque podiam oferecer essa variação de distância focal com uma perda de qualidade aceitável, mas que ainda sim permitia fazer um filme quase todo em full frame, que pudesse ser exibido em sala IMAX, e que, principalmente, permitia às equipes decolar, filmar e pousar sem problemas no meio do processo. Agradeço a Fujifilm do Brasil pela ponte e indicação dessa pauta via assessoria de imprensa da a4&holofote comunicação.
