Blackmagic Design today announced that indie filmmaker William H. Baker used Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K digital film camera to help recreate shots from the 2024 Academy Award® Best Picture Nominees for his viral YouTube video.
Known on social media for his shot breakdown and recreation videos, Baker has amassed more than 700,000 followers across his Instagram (@william.h.baker), TikTok (@william.h.baker) and YouTube (@WilliamHBaker) channels, with his Best Picture Nominees recreation video at more than 900,000 views and counting.
After finding success on TikTok and Instagram with a series called “30 Shots in 30 Days,” Baker has built a global following around his shot recreation videos, which break down complex shots into doable steps. Inspired by his “Oppenheimer” practical FX recreation video, Baker knew he wanted to do something around the 2024 Academy Awards, eventually settling on a shot from every Best Picture Nominee. From recreating the snowy French Alps in “Anatomy of a Fall” and the iconic shot of Barbie stepping out of her shoes, to tackling an underwater shot from “Maestro,” a field lit on fire in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and reapproaching the nuclear explosion from “Oppenheimer,” Baker relied on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K.
