Epic story, Epic camera...
The BBC is to screen The Gospel of John this Easter. Filmed by Shoot HD DOP Ben Hodgson, it’s scheduled to be shown as three one-hour features from Good Friday morning and on Netflix from April 7th. Ben chose to shoot Red 4k with Zeiss lenses.
Epic choice
The initial format decision was taken when the project started in early 2010. A lot has happened with cameras since and opting for the then relatively new Red 4k proved to be a wise future-proofing decision at a time when other realistic camera options comprised Arri’s D21, the Silicon Imaging Si 2K, Super 35mm, Super 16mm and HD/pro-35 tape formats.
Trans Atlas
Having a complete shooting package that could deliver cameras and lenses as well as pulling together transcoding and offer production immediate 2k playback review was also a key requirement. A fully kitted out, air conditioned Love Film camera/wrangling vehicle travelled overland from the UK, over the Atlas mountains to Quazazarte Film Studios, Morocco.
