THE SONY VENICE - THE ONE CAMERA THAT SATISFIES ALL STAKEHOLDERS Knowledge Inside


Producers and directors are always in the pursuit of excellence; from a compelling script to inspired performances and the best possible cinematic expression of their work. It’s the driving passion behind every great drama or film. The possibilities that higher resolution and HDR bring to the viewer experience also creates ever-greater demands from multiple stakeholders when perfecting that realisation. From capturing 4K 16bit linear files with Sony’s revolutionary X-OCN recording format that also saves considerable money on data storage and overheads to exceptional low light performance, more flexible shooting arrangements and greater colour control in the grade... Only the Sony VENICE brings all of these imperatives together in one camera


The three main stakeholders


The producer has three considerations when choosing a digital cinema camera. The choice is often lead by the cinematographer who always wants to capture the very best possible image and shoot the best work they can. The studio and post house have exacting camera, codec and technical requirements working backwards from VFX, the final master and their own deliverables. While the production company wants to manage costs - from data storage and overheads to more flexible shooting arrangements - that would be better spent on creative execution.
