“CAMERAS USED IN THIS PRODUCTION: Sony FX6: Sony A1”

“If I could only grab 1 light, the Nanlite Forza 500 II Bi-Colour would be it. I've used this light on every single production this year”

“my favourite Nanlite Product of 2023, in this case it's 100% the Forza 500 II B”

“The Atomos Ninja V has been out since 2018 so why on earth would I put it up on this list? It works amazingly well as an on-camera monitor”

“I used the Internal ND on the FX6”

“I've used the newer G-Master many times”

“except for the Heli shots I actually used the LiDar Rangefinder with the DJI Focus motor in Autofocus.”

“For Focus I used a Smallrig MagicFiz paired with the DJI Transmission”

“except for the Heli shots I actually used the LiDar Rangefinder with the DJI Focus motor in Autofocus.”

“Lens wise I shot everything on a set of DZO Vespid Primes except for some shots of the Pilot in flight”

“filmed by my friend Louw Lemmer on the 24-70mm F/2.8 GM.”

“CINEMATIC LIGHTING with Nanlite Forza 500 II”

“Here I used 3 lights. First a 500 Mono colour on the outside to boost the overall ambience in the hanger”

“for warmth we only used a Nanlite Bulb in this lamp as a practical set to 2700 KELVIN.”

“For some balanced light in the middle we put a longer 30 X Pavotube at 5600K as a top light.”

“I added some cooler Pavotubes in the background because they reflected nicely on the floor”

“this was on a 1.5 meter softbox just out of frame also on a 500 BiColour.”

“The warm light in the back room was created with 2x small Pavotube 6C's set to 2700K.”

“a Pavotube at the same Kelvin at low intensity did the trick.”

“Second I had a 500 MK1 on the projector attachment inside out of frame”
