We’re thrilled to finally share Hero with the world! We shot this short in the summer of 2017 and have been on the festival circuit since the fall of 2017.

Our primary camera was the Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro 4.6K and a few pick up shots with the Sony A6300. Aerials were captured using the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. We edited and colored in Davinci Resolve using basic correction and Impulz Luts.

Looking back, we wish we had access to the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K) with Blackmagic Raw (BRAW) during production. We just picked up the BMPCC 4K and are stoked to use it for our next short!
