On a trip to Cyprus in February, we filmed a sequence with a football coach for IMG Media on a Sony F3 and Canon 5D. To give grading options in the edit we used the S-Log recording option on the F3 and to help with clarity, we worked with some mint Angenieux lenses which made our day.
London
Also in February Sweet Pictures worked with London based NZ band 'Melic' to shoot a music video for their single, Nowhere I'd Rather Be. This was shot on 3 Canon 5D's and a Canon 7D and edited by Kieran Humphries.
Korea!
The camera is a similar size to a Sony PMW500 and about the same weight. This made it perfect for Steadicam work.
Hong Kong
Working for IMG Media once again, Don headed to Hong Kong to help cover the 50th Rolex China Sea Race. A yacht race that starts in Hong Kong and finishes in Subic Bay in the Philippines.
We played around with some Canon tilt shift lenses which worked well for timelapse photography in a big busy city like Hong Kong.
Don sailed on the a Dubois 90 named Genuine Risk, taking with him a Canon 5D kit and a Sony HXR-NX70U.
Ukraine
Shooting in the Ukraine for UEFA was next on the agenda where Don was producer for some pick ups of newly finished stadiums for the UEFA EURO 2012 competition.
We filmed the stadiums with a cineflex ball and although the weather let us down, we managed to capture just enough footage to get the job done.
