@cobrakaiseries season 5 is set to start streaming on #netflix And @theicgmag has a nice write up. Since joining the series in Season 2, Guild Director of Photography Paul Varrieur says he’s tried to pay homage to the original film (which is seen occasionally in flashbacks) but also modernize its look. However, the updated version of the All Valley Tournament presented its own problems. “First, we were shooting in a practical high-school gymnasium,” Varrieur explains, “where not one light existed. Second, I wanted to update the photography, using tools that didn’t exist in 1984.” The original feature was shot on film, of course, while Varrieur’s capture system was the #sonyvenice , sourced from Panavision Atlanta. Varrieur’s Local 600 camera team shot in a 1:78 aspect ratio (the original film was 1:85), using the Super 35 portion of the sensor. “That means it was a 17-by-9 with a 16-by-9 extraction for 4K,” the DP continues. “Panavision Primo primes, 14.5 millimeter all the way to 150 millimeter, are my lenses of choice. Anything longer and an 11 to 1 Primo zoom with extender was utilized.” The new/old sequence required a coordinated effort from everyone. “I won’t lie – there was some nervousness and apprehension when we read the script for the Season 4-ending All Valley Tournament,” Varrieur concludes. “Paying tribute to a sequence that’s beloved by so many people, while trying to do a modernized, updated version with new story points, could prove difficult. But armed with a bevy of new film tools, an experienced crew that knew how to use them, and a supportive production team, we more than accomplished the task.” 📸: Curtis Bonds Baker @cobrakaiseries #sonyvenicecamera #sonyvenice2

In honor of the holiday weekend, we feel inspired to share the trailer for ‘Get Away,” a cinematic horror that was shot on the #sonyfx3 and #sonyairpeak by DP/Gaffer Ryan French @drunken_frenchman and Director Michael Gabriele @michaelgabrieledirector The short was inspired by the realization that so many high-end filmmakers have started incorporating the compact FX3 into their shoots. From Emmy-nominated series like "Dopesick" to an upcoming feature film, True Love, shot exclusively on the FX3 by Academy award-winning DP Greig Fraser and Oren Soffer. "Most filmmakers on a professional film set are going to have access to $100,000 cameras and lenses and everything," says French. "Yet the FX3 is a camera I've seen used on professional film sets with the VENICE. It's a little camera that punches above its weight class. I feel like Get Away is a proof of concept if anything. Any filmmaker can afford to get a cinema camera at an entry-level price. Beyond that, it's just storytelling."

09.06.22 Cinematography meets robotics.

We caught up with #cinematographer @littlemadd to discuss season two of AMC’s “Kevin Can F** Himself,” which was shot on the #sonyvenice The series alternates its storytelling between the look of drama and a sitcom. “The VENICE is the perfect camera for Allison’s single-camera world because it has this look that is super flattering on skin tones. And it has the dynamic range we really needed, due to keeping her world on more of the darker side. Plus the framing we wanted to achieve needed to be from a full-frame sensor. “ Read the full story on sonycine.com

We caught up with @jkniest to get a look inside #americanhorrorstories @ahsfx - which was shot on the #sonyvenice Swipe 👈to see behind the scenes and screenshots of the different look in every episode. To create the different looks, Kniest relied on the Sony VENICE paired with the Canon K35s and a MasterBuilt Zoom. This camera package alongside a host of specialty tools, from macro lenses to underwater shots, allowed Kniest to customize the look of each episode. “For speed and flexibility, I have to say the VENICE is just amazing. It gives me a lot of comfort knowing I can light to it pretty quickly without having to worry so much about resolution and light sensitivity with dual native ISO of 500 and 2500.” For a look at Kniest’s episodes, visit sonycine.com #sonyvenice #sonyvenice2 #filmmaking #filmmaker #venice2 #sonyvenicecamera
