FLIR Thermal Cameras used by Thirty Seconds to Mars at MTV Video Music Awards

L+R has completed some very special and industry-leading assignments for our friends and partners at FLIR Systems. Recently FLIR’s hardware was featured at the VMA’s this year!

Original Post titled “Thirty Seconds to Mars Uses FLIR Thermal Cameras in MTV Video Music Awards” by Vatche Arabian, Senior Manager, FLIR Systems

American rock band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, made history Sunday night at the 34th annual MTV Video Music Awards with a live performance of their new single “Walk on Water,” filmed with FLIR’s high-definition (HD) thermal imaging cameras.

Using FLIR’s HD Science Cameras and powered by software from FLIR distributor, MoviTHERM, the Los Angeles based band gave MTV and their fans something they’d never seen before – a display that visualized the heat and energy of the performers using the infrared spectrum.

Thirty Seconds to Mars integrated the FLIR SC8300 and A8303 science cameras, typically used for research and development, into MTV’s broadcast to capture the performance in thermal. Watch this short video to learn more:

We spoke with Thirty Seconds to Mars lead singer, Jared Leto, about the performance, and why he wanted to leverage FLIR technology for the live MTV performance.
