Sony Cine Camera Reports

This 80-page FDTimes Special Edition began at the beginning of the year when colleagues called in with stories about recent jobs that happened to be filmed with Sony VENICE, BURANO and FX3 cameras.

These are not eulogies or reviews or production paeans. Instead, they are somewhat technical, sometimes nerdy, always artistic discussions about interesting films and series with lots of details about lenses, lighting, LUTs, peppered with long discourses on Director-DP dynamics, crew management, psychology, color science, career beginnings, film schools, first jobs, and all the other tales told on location waiting for the sun to rise, the clouds to part, or the next shot in a glass after wrap. read more…

Sony BURANO Camera Report

Burano, Italy is s a 45-minute vaporetto ride from Piazza San Marco in Venice to the north end of the Lagoon. Buildings are painted in beautifully bright colors that could work as an on-location color chart.  Burano is known for its seafood. Try the risotto de gò, but better to taste it in a Burano restaurant than try to catch the spiny grass goby (gò) fish yourself.

BURANO is the new camera from Sony. Its Full Frame 8.6K sensor can capture every nuance and color painted on the houses of Burano island. BURANO, the camera, is the latest addition to the Sony Cinema Line.

With in-body image stabilization and in-camera variable ND filters, BURANO is unique, ergonomic, and extremely mobile. BURANO could fit in a backpack on a documentary about the Venetian Lagoon. BURANO might also work as a companion camera to its larger sibling, VENICE.  Let’s take a tour in this BURANO Report. Most of it is also in the September 2023 Edition of FDTimes.
