Press Release

 "forsenses" combines amazing HD-shoots of the elements with a specifically composed 3D surround chill-out soundtrack on a Blu-ray Disc. The result is an audiovisual symphony which opens up a whole new dimension: Never before has film been such an intense experience. The HD-shoots originate entirely from Framepool and reflect a technical standard which is state-of-the-art.

Behind "forsenses" lie the endeavours of notable film specialists, high-speed cinematographers, underwater filmmakers and helicopter camera experts. All of them portray the elements of earth, water, fire and air in a unique and amazing way: beautiful sunrises and sunsets, impressive volcanoes, massive mountain ranges, the fauna and beauty of the ocean, cityscapes by night and a whole lot more. All film material originates from Framepool.com, the footage collection run by filmmakers. Including breathtaking shots never before seen by the naked eye, created using highly sensitive specialist equipment. Thanks to exceptional HD-footage, spectacles such as a raindrop splashing onto a leaf or flower can now be witnessed on Blu-ray.

"forsenses" has been produced by BluElements, a production company exclusively founded for this project by Philipp von Kap-herr, owner of Selectfilm, and the composer and music producer Ivo Moring (ALANAproductions). Since the very beginning, Framepool has been included in the project. For more than five years a huge amount of material has been scanned and carefully screened for content and quality. But not only existing stock material was used: licensors from Framepool’s broad network also shot to order.

"In close cooperation with Framepool, ‘forsenses’ came to life. Intensive collaboration and close consultation played an important role for the success of this project", says Philipp von Kap-herr of BluElements. "This disc combines the experience of filmmakers from all over the world, unified under Framepool’s umbrella. Never before has High Definition been realised so intensively. We are really proud of the result."

"One can’t imagine professional filmmaking without High Definition today. The majority of our collection represents this quality already", underlines Ulf Remy, Senior Account Manager at Framepool. "All the more, we are really pleased, that ‘forsenses’ now enables all consumers to experience the fascination of High Definition in such a comprehensive way. The combination with perfect 3D surround sound is really magnificent".
