American Cinematographer - October 2007 - (Page 11) “Because the F350 has time lapse, slow shutter and over and undercranking, I got more creative options and my client got higher production value for the budget,” Humeau says. “With XDCAM HD, we shot a big show on a tight budget.” Thierry Humeau, director of photography and president of Télécam Films recently used his PDW-F350 XDCAM HD camcorders to create Bombs, Bullets & Fraud, a documentary on the US Postal Service Inspectors for Smithsonian Networks, a new HD TV channel from Smithsonian Institution and Showtime Networks. “They needed a big movie that had to meet their high standards of quality on a fairly tight budget,” Humeau says.“Some scenes we shot movie-style with a big crew, dollies and jibs. Some are ENG-style, following cops at night. Some are highly produced interviews. In every instance, the XDCAM HD camcorder came through.” The show’s producer, Tim Baney of Baney Media is also a fan. He says, “The camcorder is very producer-friendly. You can instantly play back a scene on the LCD monitor and say okay, good, let’s move on to the next take. It’s a huge time saver and safety net that gave me confidence, knowing we got it in the can.” And the Smithsonian Networks’ reaction? “They love it,” says Baney.“In fact, they’re already talking to us about another film.” To see a trailer of Bombs, Bullets & Fraud and find out how to receive up to $500 back on the purchase of an XDCAM HD camcorder, visit sony.com/xdcam. © 2007 Sony Electronics Inc.
