Downton Abbey
Director: Michael Engler, DOP: Ben Smithard
DOP Ben Smithard wanted to shoot with the Sony Venice for the aerials, matching what they were using on the ground. Our Super Heavy Lift MFD5000 drone carrying the DJI Ronin 2 gimbal enabled us to fly the Venice with Kowa anamorphics, RT Motion lens control and Teradek 3000 VTX with 12 minute flight times
Equipment Used
Super Heavy Lift Drone
Super heavy lifter designed to carry heavy camera set ups. The ideal set up for BITB proved to be the Mini LF with short zooms, allowing long flight times and flexibility in the air when shooting the rowing sequences.
