VENICE Captures Downton
Abbey's Majestic Splendour
Director of Photography, Ben Smithard chose the Sony flagship, full-frame camera system for its
durability, flexibility and reliability in capturing emotion in every frame for the Downton Abbey movie...
S
ony's next-generation motion
picture camera system, VENICE,
was used for principal photography
on the new Downton Abbey movie,
directed by Michael Engler, and
produced by Gareth Neame and Liz
Trubridge.
VENICE, with its full-frame sensor,
impressive colour science and userfriendly operation, was chosen by
Director of Photography Ben Smithard
to scale the popular TV series' drama
onto the big screen through impressive
picture quality and greater detail.
Emotion in every frame
"VENICE was the only camera system
that could deliver a larger and more
detailed image to match the movie's
enthralling storyline on the big screen,"
says Smithard. "When shooting, I
discovered and started to appreciate
VENICE's full potential. It's a beautifully
designed camera from top to bottom it looks great and is easy to use for me,
my team, the DIT, the colourist, and
everyone in post-production. Thanks
to its full frame sensor, we were able
to elevate Downton Abbey's action
and emotion from the set onto the big
screen."
VENICE, the versatile next-generation
full frame motion picture camera,
has been created for and with
modern cinematographers in mind. It
Behind the scenes: Downton Abbey
allows creatives to capture
stunning visuals in almost
any format, including full
frame 24x26mm, Super35
and
Anamorphic,
with
a
maximum
resolution
of 6048 x 4032. At the
same time, its usability,
reliability and flexibility
allow it to seamlessly match
any filmmakers' shooting
requirements and support
them in bringing their
creative vision to life. With
VENICE, filmmakers can focus
on capturing exceptional
imagery and stories, rather
than on the camera itself.
Downton Abbey brought to life
"With VENICE, I could fully
concentrate on what I was shooting,
rather than on how to operate the
camera. Its complete range of internal
NDs saved me a lot of time over the
course of this film as I didn't have to
change ND filters in a matte box. I
also didn't have to worry about any
colour shifts. When shooting scenes
at the extended range of 2500 ISO, it
cut in perfectly with the normal ISO of
500. No one will be able to notice the
difference," adds Smithard. "When it
came to shoot challenging frames for
the film, the VENICE never let me down.
It performed well without any issues,
wherever it was put - from being rigged
on camera dollies, tower cams, cranes
and even helicopters."
Compatible
with
ACES,
the
open,
device-independent
colour
management, VENICE features creative
options not only for cinematographers,
but also for any post-production and
colour workflow.
"The use of ACES was proposed from
the very early stages of the workflow
discussions. VENICE and the X-OCN
16bit linear recording format made
it very easy to implement the colour
system and provided results which
preserved the creative intend
through the whole workflow
process," adds Pablo Garcia
Soriano, Head of Colour at
Mission.
Claus
Pfeifer,
Head
of
Connected
Content
Acquisition
at
Sony
Professional
Solutions
Europe, says: "When we
developed the VENICE we
worked closely with our
customers and industry
partners, we wanted to offer
creatives a next-generation,
full frame motion picture
camera system that would be
able to meet the needs of any
production. Our objective was
to create a camera that can
Director of Photography Ben Smithard, BSC
capture grand, vivid outdoor shots as
effortlessly as intimate and emotional
character-driven scenes. Downton
Abbey is precisely the kind of movie
we had in mind when developing the
VENICE, and we are excited for fans
across the world to experience the
magic of this iconic storyline on the big
screen."
Following productions such as the
highly anticipated Avatar sequels by
James Cameron and the upcoming
political thriller Official Secrets starring
Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes,
Downton Abbey is the latest production
to choose the next-generation camera
system VENICE from Sony.
The script was written by the
Academy-Award®
winning
series
creator Julian Fellowes and stars
the original cast, including Hugh
Bonneville, Laura Carmichael and
Dame Maggie Smith.
The
much-anticipated
movie
adaptation of the hit television series
follows the events of the cherished
Crawley family and their staff who are
preparing for a royal visit from the King
and Queen of England.
The storyline is filled with trials and
tribulations of scandal, romance and
intrigue that will leave the future of
Downton in potential jeopardy.
Downton Abbey made its global
debut in September.
