Blackmagic Design today announced that actor and director Damon Gameau’s new documentary “That Sugar Film” was shot using the Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production Camera 4K. The documentary was also graded using DaVinci Resolve and premiered in competition at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam in November.
“That Sugar Film” is a combination of academia, education, irreverence, celebrities, science and comedy. Directed and hosted by Damon Gameau, known for his roles on “Puberty Blues,” “Secrets & Lies” and the cult classic “Thunderstruck,” the film aims to investigate how sugar has infiltrated our diet and culture, what it's doing to us and how we can develop an arm's length relationship with it. The film’s cinematographer is Judd Overton, who has shot dozens of films, including “Return to Nim’s Island.”
The film follows Damon as he eats and drinks everyday items found on grocery shelves across the world, while at the same time visiting with people in various locations throughout the world, from the Australian outback to New York City’s Times Square. The documentary’s production schedule was broken into two main parts: a global travel shoot with minimal equipment, and an intense set of green screen productions, which resulted in 200 VFX shots interspersed throughout the film. For the travel based footage, the team primarily shot on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, while using the Production Camera 4K for green screen shots.
