Guinea Pig Commando Soldiers & The Snorkel

The Kenworthy/Nettmann Snorkel was selected out of all other optical systems on the market to complete numerous VFX plate and P.O.V. shots for the new Jerry Bruckheimer movie G-Force.

The Snorkel, a periscopic camera system, won the hearts of director Hoyt Yeatman and cinematographer Bojan Bazelli because of its inherent special optical principles and the ability to get within millimeters of the ground for P.O.V. shots of the cute little armed and dangerous, "licensed to kill", guinea pigs.
