Blackmagic Design today announced that the Pocket Cinema Camera was used to shoot concert, event and behind the scenes footage for the award winning hit band Thirty Seconds to Mars. Videographer and DP for the band, K.C. Lauf, used the Pocket Cinema Camera to capture every possible moment, both on stage and off, during the band’s recent 25 show Carnivores Tour co headlined with Linkin Park.
“Our motto is, ‘if you didn't film it, it didn't happen,’ which is why we film absolutely everything on tour. From the moment we wake up in the morning, we are shooting B roll of the crew, the stages being built, the instrument prep, planning meetings, band arrival and prep, interactions with fans, artist relations, VIP events, performances and meet and greets. We are busy all day, every day,” explained K.C. “Distribution for the footage is endless. In addition to using video and frame grabs across social media, all footage is archived for use in documentaries, TV promos, band promos, Internet streams and more.
“For this kind of workflow, simplicity, mobility and reliability while maintaining quality are key. We don't have time to deal with cumbersome drives, extra cables, slow speeds and a hassled post process,” he continued. “It’s why we chose the Pocket Cinema Camera. It was a snap to get high quality footage off the SD cards. Not to mention the sensor provides huge dynamic range, which let us get all the details in one shot.”
