Filmmaking cameras
Film cameras and Lenses used for
'Creed III'
DP Kramer Morgenthauchose to shoot with Sony Venice cameras. And certain sections with the Phantom Flex4K, whose high-speed capabilities enabled him to create an ultra-slow-motion recording of some of the major moments in the fights.
Morgenthau opted for a lens package that included both anamorphic and spherical optics (Panavision T-series and Primo lenses) to complement different aspect ratios and filming requirements, aiming to create a visually compelling narrative.
CAMERAS
Sony Alta Venice
The VENICE camera is Sony's first full-frame sensor high-end digital cinematography camera. It is unmatched in the Sony range for the wide array of recording formats it supports, and features Dual Base ISO 500/ISO 2500.
This Sony Venice is meant to provide you with just the amount of camera you need, so you don't have to invest in more than necessary. It features a full-frame CMOS sensor with 15+ stops of dynamic range, but in its basic configuration it windows the sensor to shoot Super 35. The camera comes with a removable PL Mount that supports the Cooke /i Technology lens metadata protocols.
Eight integrated and motorized ND filters range from clear to seven stops of ND in one-stop increments. The camera features a built-in assistant-side info screen, along with a smaller basic info display screen on the operator side of the camera.
Phantom Flex4K
The Phantom Flex4K ultra-high-speed digital camera produces 4K imagery at up to 1,000 fps. Featuring in-camera controls for menu and trigger functions, the Phantom Flex4K offers 64GB of internal storage. Our Phantom cameras are equipped with a Panavision 35 or SP70 lens mount.
