Blackmagic Production Camera For City Film Production
Whether you want to appear in front of the camera or work behind it, the Blackmagic Production Camera is a revolutionary and easily portable piece of equipment that which offers the kind of range and colour depth that one would expect from expensive film and digital cinema cameras at a reasonable price.
The Camera The Could Make Dreams Happen
For those hoping to become the next Steven Spielberg or Guillermo del Toro, the new Blackmagic Production Camera 4K allows you Shoot Ultra HD TV or 4K feature films. You get a large Super 35 size sensor with professional global shutter combined with precision EF mount optics, high quality visually lossless compressed CinemaDNG RAW and Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)™ file recording for a complete self contained solution. The built in touch screen lets you monitor, change settings and enter metadata directly on the camera.
Ultra HD
New models of televisions and video projectors support ultra HD, which is four times the resolution of regular HD video and the Blackmagic Production Camera 4k also supports the new 6G-SDI video connection out so can be used on live video production. This camera is ideal for music videos, episodic television production, television commercials, sports, documentaries, news stories, interviews and feature films. This camera is designed to be portable and durable, with an internal battery and all standard connections. A dense rubber material covers the front, back and one side that allows a sturdy grip. On the top there are lens strap connections and three threaded holes for mounting accessories or integrating into. A large spring-loaded door on the right side covers the SSD bay and a USB 2.0 Mini-B port. Most of the connections are on the left side and are covered by rubber flaps. The Blackmagic Production 4K can easily withstand location work.
Great for Short Film Work
This new equipment is becoming increasingly popular for short films and music videos. Kansas-based hip-hop artist “That Kid Ty” has recently featured in an action/suspense short film called “Disorder” using the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K. The 15 hours of footage was completed in one day.
Music Video Usage
Alternative rock band Placebo have used it to record a live studio set of their latest album ‘Loud Like Love’ and the tracks, filmed at the Rak Studios in London, will feature as bonus material on the album. Producer James Tonkin, working alongside director Charlie Target Adams, used eight fixed camera positions for the shoot including five Blackmagic Cinema Cameras. He said, “When Charlie and I went through tests from previous shoots he really saw the strength in going down this route. Although he is a young director, Charlie very much prefers the look of film in the same way that I do. Knowing that we could shoot and create a look inside the camera meant the Blackmagic camera was the ideal choice”.
