Blackmagic Design today announced that independent film “Touch the Water” was shot using a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K digital film camera and edited with DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, color grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software. “Touch the Water” champions the Native American community and along with its ongoing theatrical run, plans to tour more than 100 reservations across the United States and Canada.
“Touch the Water” tells the heartwarming story of when an intern at a senior center teams up with an elderly Native American woman to fulfill her lifelong dream to see the ocean again and this time touch the water. “Touch the Water” was written and directed by filmmaker Travis Holt Hamilton as part of his focus on telling and elevating Native American based stories.
Captured with a Pocket Cinema Camera 6K in Blackmagic RAW, “Touch the Water” was shot in the hot deserts of Arizona and the wet beaches of California. Hamilton explained, “We battled some extreme environments when shooting. The majority of the film was shot in Arizona in the summer, so heat was definitely an issue. When working with older cast in extreme temperatures, time is paramount. The camera’s versatility and usability allowed us to quickly get the shots we needed, and it never faltered, even when shooting through heat and wildfire smoke warnings in temperatures above 115 degrees Fahrenheit for days straight. Similarly, it performed great for our wet ocean shots. Whether there was sand, micro dust or moisture in the air, it kept going.”
