Blackmagic Design today announced that Pocket Cinema Cameras were used by DP Chris LaVasseur and Second Unit Director/DP Mark Vargo, ASC, to shoot action scenes and stunt work for Spike TV’s television event series “Tut.” Produced by Muse Entertainment and directed by David Von Ancken, the three-night, six-hour, limited series event recounts the astounding saga of one of history’s most extraordinary rulers, King Tutankhamun, his rise to power and his struggle to lead Egypt to glory, while his closest advisors, friends and lovers scheme for their own nefarious interests.
“We chose the Pocket Cinema Cameras because we could put them in places that standard studio cameras couldn't go,” explained LaVasseur. “For example, we designed a scene where a chariot flips over during a battle. Because the Pocket Cinema Cameras have such a low profile, we were able to mount them on the chariot. The horses, who were attached to the chariot, were very sensitive to their surroundings, but the stunt coordinator approved the camera positions because the horses couldn’t see them.”
