GX-P1: Panoramic Camera by Batmobile Designer Ash Thorp Eyes Year-End Crowdfunding
GXAce, led by photographer and filmmaker Casey Cavanaugh, is preparing to unveil the GX-P1, a compact digital camera designed for 65:24 frames. This fixed-lens anamorphic camera has already taken close to 3,000 photos. Cavanaugh noted the absence of established manufacturers willing to produce such a device, highlighting the necessity for a camera that embodies artistry. The GX-P1 remains a genuine prototype, with ongoing advancements in software, electronics, and production. Collaborating with Cavanaugh are illustrator Ash Thorp, recognized for his contributions to The Batman's Batmobile, and systems engineer Matt Bernath. GXAce plans to initiate a crowdfunding campaign by the end of the year, sharing the development process through video updates.
