Blackmagic Design today announced the new Japanese feature film "Hibi Rock" was shot on Blackmagic Cinema Cameras, Production Camera 4K and Pocket Cinema Cameras, as well as was graded using DaVinci Resolve. The film was recently released in Japan and to DVD this June.
"Hibi Rock" is based on a popular comic by Katsumasa Enoki. It is the story of bullied young boy, Takuro Hibino, who starts his own band and tries to seek his dream. Two young acclaimed actors, Shuhei Nomura and Fumi Nikaido, starred in this film, and a number of popular rock musicians in Japan participated in this film, both for music making and acting.
"A lot of things happen in the story so we needed many cameras. We had to find a camera that was not only affordable but also capable of shooting in RAW or Log to ensure the right look for a feature film, which is so important," said Sohei Tanikawa, the film’s DoP. "The tone that Blackmagic cameras capture is something that filmmakers need."
