Blackmagic Design today announced that Los Angeles based full service production and post production house RKM Studios recently produced a series of music videos using Blackmagic Cloud, Blackmagic Cloud Store network storage solution and DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software.
When musical artist Nick Phoenix contacted filmmaker Ryan McNeal about a series of videos for his new album “Underdog,” McNeal was excited. “I really was intrigued by a couple of ideas Nick had for some fantasy themed music videos,” said McNeal. “As I looked at the album list and listened to the tracks, I felt a strong through line with three of the pieces, and had this idea to create a three part music video narrative following a young woman’s journey into a fantasy world where she is nearly consumed by revenge.” Phoenix loved the idea and the two set out to produce the project in Ireland, taking advantage of the epic scenery that fit the narrative of the videos.
While the concept was expansive, the budget was not, and McNeal was looking for the best ways to streamline every part of the process, including the combination of production and post production. “We knew we would be shooting various file formats, including Blackmagic RAW on the URSA Mini Pro 12K,” added McNeal. “We had a three day shoot, all on location, and wanted to be able to review dailies each day. We discovered the Blackmagic Cloud Store units and realized they not only provided fast, reliable storage but were also portable, as opposed to something mounted in a rack server. Additionally, we had an editor who would be working remotely while traveling, so suddenly the full feature set of Blackmagic Cloud, collaboration and the Cloud Stores became really appealing.”
