VAN NUYS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 2000

COPTERVISION, the leader in close-range aerial cinematography, recently received a call from ABC Sports.

It seemed that ABC just might want to try ROLLVISION, the dynamic cutting-edge technology created by COPTERVISION, in its regular Monday Night Football lineup.

ROLLVISION, the three-axes, gyro-stabilized camera system designed for helicopters, is the most recent groundbreaking technology from COPTERVISION. ROLLVISION, which can be adapted to fit Steadicams, camera cars, cranes, dollies, tracking and rail systems, features a 360-degree roll, 360-degree pan and 180-degree tilt.

After educating the ABC executive about the nearly limitless capabilities of ROLLVISION, a deal was struck to shoot a few college games.

Mounted on Innovision Optic's RadCam (a remote-control miniature car), the ROLLVISION team shot the USC vs. Oregon game at the Los Angeles Coliseum. During the live broadcast, the team captured dynamic shots of the bumpers for the game, the goal action and the all-important great shots of the cheerleaders.

Currently, ABC and COPTERVISION are in serious discussion on how ROLLVISION can be utilized on an ongoing basis with an eye toward participating in the upcoming XFL, slated to commence in February 2001.

With several successful collaborative efforts utilizing Innovision's RadCam, COPTERVISION has now struck a worldwide distribution agreement with that company. Innovision President Mark Centkowski, a former cinematographer and director, is excited about the access and flexibility that ROLLVISION offers filmmakers.

"ROLLVISION is in keeping with my company's mandate -- to offer filmmakers cutting-edge technology to help them get a shot in locations that are normally off limits," stated an enthused Centkowski.

"With Innovision representing ROLLVISION, we are looking forward to a larger international client base with someone that shares our company's philosophy," added COPTERVISION's president and chief executive officer, Sarita Spiwak.

COPTERVISION and ROLLVISION have been used in a variety of feature films, commercials and music videos etc., both domestically and internationally.

Recent credits include: "Driven," a Sylvester Stallone film directed by Renny Harlin; "Disney Animation," a feature film by Xingu Films; Laguna Seca Formula Car Races; ESPN; ABC Sports; "L.A. Zoo," Animal Planet; Aaron Spelling's hit television show, "Charmed;" and Korn's newest music video directed by Mark Weisz.
