Chimney Group Chooses
ioGates Portal Platform
i

oGates, a provider of cloud-based
tools for sharing, converting, and
distributing professional media files
in a simple-to-use Web interface, has
installed an ioGates-powered portal
at Stockholm-based Chimney Group,
Scandinavia's largest private media
organisation.
The portal will make it easy for
Chimney Group - which has 10 offices
and more than 300 employees
throughout Europe and in Sydney and
Singapore - to share and exchange
audiovisual content among its various
offices, departments, and content
partners.
Chimney Group CEO Henric Larsson
said: "We offer a wide and diverse
range of production services, from
conception and development to
production and post-production. At
the same time, the people involved in a
project can be just as widespread and
diverse, with several people or groups

of people needing to see the content
and give input.
"Given the fast-paced nature of
media production today, we need
something that lets us share media
immediately with whomever needs
to see it - including clients - and do it
with the utmost security."

The Blacklist Employs Vitec Gear
C

inematographers Eric Moynier and
Michael Caracciolo shoot NBC's
hit series, The Blacklist, with support
from Anton/Bauer batteries, Litepanels
fixtures, and OConnor fluid heads.

On the set of NBC's drama The Blacklist

Mostly shot on location - including
Manhattan, the outer boroughs, Long
Island, New York's Rockland and
Westchester counties and the stages
of Chelsea Piers - the show's dramatic
storytelling is a perfect match for
the tools.
The Blacklist stars James Spader
as ex-government agent Raymond
'Red' Reddington, one of the FBI's
Most Wanted fugitives.
Three Sony PMW-F55 CineAlta
4K digital cinema cameras are
deployed on an average day,
but as many as six cameras are
sometimes rolling. They are

outfitted with Panavision Primo prime
lenses and zooms, and Angenieux
Optimo zooms.
Moynier estimates that OConnor
2575 fluid heads, rented from
Panavision New York, are used 80% to
90% of the time.
Litepanels 1x1 panels are used
extensively on the series powered
with Anton/Bauer DIONIC HC batteries,
which he values for their long charge
life. Anton/Bauer lithium-ion batteries
also power the F55 cameras.
The popular crime drama's second
season is currently airing, and NBC has
renewed the show for a third year.
