Blackmagic Design today announced that Filipino feature film “Sinagtala” was shot with the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K digital film camera in Blackmagic RAW, with color grading and visual effects (VFX) completed in DaVinci Resolve Studio. A companion music video, released alongside the film’s premiere and featuring live performances by the lead cast, also utilized the Blackmagic Design acquisition to post workflow.
Directed by Mike Sandejas, DGPI and shot by DP Dom Dycaico, LPS, “Sinagtala” follows estranged bandmates navigating adult life after the death of their lead singer, Paola. Her prerecorded inspirational videos act as a spiritual guide, prompting each member to confront their past and rediscover their purpose through music.
“The feature blends intimate storytelling with stylized concert sequences, with performances that hold their own visually and emotionally,” explained Sandejas. “We aimed for distinct visual contrasts to drive the central arc, so Paola’s videos had a bright, angelic feel to them, while the band members watch them in darker, interior settings.”
