REMOTE FRAMING FLEXIBILITY
Working with Cine-Zoom Lenses
There are many Full Frame and Super 35 cine-zoom lenses with PL mounts available for the VENICE from Angenieux, Cooke, Fujinon, Zeiss and many others. While there is an immediate and obvious benefit in shooting with a longer focal length, this might not always be desirable. With lens manufacturing improving the quality and speed of cine- zoom lenses every year, there were already an increasing number of cinematographers who chose to work with high-end cine-zooms, rather than a full set of PLs, prior to the pandemic. More cinematographers again regularly deployed cine-zooms to second units to act as ‘variable’ prime lenses.
For example, with the Fujinon Premista
28-100mm or 80-250mm Full Frame lenses you would have most shooting options fully covered on one or both of the lenses. Even when working Full Frame many cine-zoom lenses are considered largely indistinguishable from fixed focal length glass recording the same shallow depth of focus beloved by the
modern cinematographer. Angenieux and Cooke even offer a range of anamorphic cine-zoom lenses. The clear advantage is removing the necessity to swap out lenses as often between shots, with more portable, faster set-ups while respecting that lens choice is personal to the cinematographer based around each lens having its own distinct personality and characteristics and the ideal choice for the production.
Many lens vendors WITH THE FUJINON PREMISTA
28-100MM OR 80-250MM FULL FRAME LENSES YOU WOULD
HAVE MOST SHOOTING OPTIONS FULLY COVERED ON ONE OR BOTH OF THE LENSES
have also adopted Cooke Optics’ /i Technology that collects lens metadata captured alongside the main media. This allows a continuous remote readout of the precise focus setting,
depth of focus and even T stop, which allows both the first AC and DIT to receive valuable recording data without having to approach the camera or take measurements while shooting. (The lens metadata recorded by /i Technology is also used to support later VFX and DI calibration work and saves valuable time in post.)
Remote VENICE Camera Control over Wi-Fi
With the addition of the inexpensive Sony CBK-WA02 adapter, that ports into the camera via USB, you can fully control the VENICE camera* from up to 10 metres over Wi-Fi on a tablet or laptop. This allows the first AC or DIT to check and control every aspect of the camera’s recording and other functions from a safe distance including changing ISO, frame rates and VENICE’s 8-step ND Filters.

Share & Review Content Fast from Set to Studio
The Sony CBK-WA100 offers HD proxy recording and reviewing on-set through 3G, 4G, LTE and wireless LAN and at a greater distance. The adapter creates lower resolution XAVC proxy files on to an SD card that can be uploaded to a cloud environment, such as the Sony Ci Workspace, for remote viewing by other members of the production team and the studio as well as for immediate WIP editorial without the need for end-of-the-day transcoding and delivery.
