Titled ‘Making a Show of Yourself,’ the next to zero budget ad tells the emotive story of a group of athletes who overcome obstacles in their field through sheer determination and persistence in training.

The ad was filmed using the Sony FX6 camera and recorded directly to the Shogun via SSD. This enabled Michael to utilize the ProRes 422 HQ format, preserving the visual quality of the footage and allowing his team to experiment with the dynamic range of the shots.

The Shogun quickly became an on-set staple providing a wide range of benefits. It’s large 7-inch display with 2000nit brightness proved invaluable when shooting content in low-light environments. Built-in features such as focus peaking, false color and anamorphic squeeze enabled the team to get the best out of their images by checking exposure and focus levels in real-time. In addition, the Shogun’s intuitive, lightweight design enabled them to access external ports easily without the interference of cables.

Reflecting on the finished project, Michael said: “I’m delighted with the way the ad turned out. It’s the story I wanted to tell, delivered in the way I wanted to tell it.”

Golpe Filmes take us behind the scenes of Fake Snake’s music video. Check it out

Hear from the crew at Golpe Filmes about their experience shooting the music video ‘Skull n Bones’ by Fake Snake. The entire video was shot in ProRes RAW directly from the Sony FX6 combined with the Atomos Ninja V Pro Kit. They also talk about their experience with the new Sony camera and shooting and editing in ProRes RAW.

The Ninja V Pro Kit has been designed to bridge the gap between compact cinema and mirrorless cameras that can output RAW via HDMI or SDI. Pro Kit also pushes these cameras’ limits, recording up to 12-bit RAW externally on the Ninja’s onboard SSD. The Pro Kit also provides the ability to cross covert signals providing a versatile solution for monitoring and play-out/review.

Check out some of the things Chapman said about the V90 cards.

I hadn’t ever used the ProGrade brand before and their pricing almost seems too low. But I decided to purchase one to test. Well I have not been disappointed.  The card performs very well and has no problems at all with all of the XAVC-I frame rates up to and including 60fps.

If you try to use it to record UHD at 100 or 120fps you will get an “unsupported media” warning but the camera will try to record to the card. Most of the time the recording will be OK provided you keep the duration short and don’t try to stop and then restart recording too quickly. Of all the SD cards I have tried this seems to be one of the best.

The Prograde SDXC V90 Memory Card has been designed with the V90 Video Speed Class rating, which guarantees minimum write speeds of at least 90 MB/s, allowing the card to be used in DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, and digital cinema cameras that produce rich data streams, including 6K, 5K, 4K, UHD 4K, and high bit rate MPEG-4 video. It is also well-suited for raw photos and rapid-fire bursts.
