William Rexer’s Equipment List on “The Hunt”
William Rexer is shooting The Hunt, a TV series in New York for Amazon Studios. This article first appeared in June 2019 FDTimes, but now it’s updated with his comprehensive equipment list.

Panasonic S1H Full-Frame 6K
Panasonic’s Matt Frazer describes the S1H as “a camera that speaks three languages: still, video and filmmaking.” Let’s begin with its compelling capabilities for filmmaking since the S1H has also been called a DSLM (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) with “A” camera image quality. The S1H offers 6K Full-Frame 4:2:0 10-bit, 4K Full Frame 4:2:2 10-bit, and 4K Super35 4:2:0 10-bit internal video recording (among many other choices.) An HDMI Type A connector outputs 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 60p/50p and other things that we’ll get to in another story. read more…
