It’s a real win-win for everybody involved in the production.”Īcross the camera team there are a mix of zooms and prime lenses. The post team are amazed by the FX6’s ability to handle any lighting environment, whether its middle of the day sun or a scene lit only with street lamps and they love working with the footage. As a result, all of our principal photography is shot on the Sony FX6. He continued, “With up to eight camera operators rolling for up to ten hours a day the FX6 camera is a true workhorse. According to Wallace their post-production team are constantly feeding back on how impressed they are with the FX6. On a daily basis, at any one time, the crew have eight camera operators shooting with the Sony FX6 which results in a huge volume of content. Put simply, this means when I’m at the monitors I’m always very confident we have hit the visual brief and that is a major plus.” “For me the FX6’s full frame sensor combined with prime lenses is the superior look for broadcast. Our camera department are very familiar with the Sony system so the FX6 was the perfect upgrade. Transitioning from the Sony F5 to the FX6 is seamless for the Warner Bros. The FX6 also slotted in perfectly from a production and post-production perspective. The low light capabilities are incredible which helps us approach the grade differently. He continued, “The FX6 body size allows our DP and operators to shoot off the shoulder, mount on cars, a jib or Steadicam. Wallace and his team wanted a full frame camera that could handle any situation and their significant volume of shooting. The Sony FX6 was the perfect camera for this job.” As the series director and alongside our DP Geoff Thomas, I was tasked with giving the series an overall visual with true cinematic qualities.

Discovery turned to the Sony FX6 Cinema Line camera and its full frame sensor.Īs Warner Bros Discovery Director, Dave Wallace, explained, “As a worldwide brand The Bachelor looked to evolve and rejuvenate the format for Season 10.
