We caught up with DP Markus Mentzer who was an early adopter of the . After working on a yet to be released documentary, Mentzer shares his work on a new comedy, The Napa Boys, which premiered at TIFF.

For this, Mentzer leaned on a documentary style of filmmaking and chose the Sony BURANO, which he used in a pair to double up on focal lengths or cross shoot when the need arose.

"Using the BURANO in a more documentary approach just gave me endless flexibility," Mentzer said. "In comedy, if you're going to suddenly roll on a take for 20 minutes and at the last minute, they decide that this is going to work better in handheld, we just don't have the time to create the ultimate handheld rig. We just need to pull the camera off the tripod and start rolling."

We caught up with DP Scott Cunningham ASC to find out more about his recent music video with , one of the best-selling groups of all time to find out how he created the look and his experience using the .

"The reason I shot with the VENICE 2 on this project was, for me, it's the most flexible of the camera options that are out there right now," Cunningham said. "I can shoot large format and get 8.6K resolution.

"We shot with the Leitz HUGO lenses, which are a large format lens, for our prime work. For our zoom work, we were shooting Angénieux zoom lenses, which don't cover full frame. But on the VENICE 2, there's plenty of resolution if I go into a standard Super 35 mode," Cunningham added. "So, I can shoot that camera on large format and quickly swap over to Super 35, and I still have plenty of resolution to give post-production choices and give editorial choices.”

We caught up with Emmy-nominated cinematographer John Conroy ASC to explore the look of Zero Day, which saw Conroy mix the with the and Here is an excerpt from the article:
The visual language of Zero Day built upon the narrative tones that not only explored the dangers of cyberterrorism but also the effects that such weapons can have on the mind and memory. Conroy and Lesli crafted this tension and anxiety in-camera as much as possible, balancing composition and lighting to create pressure and discomfort in the frame.

"We did a lot of top shots. We wanted to always have that downward pressure. That it was very hard to escape this pressure that was building up the whole time," Conroy explained. "And of course, with the memory of it all, we wanted to do it in-camera as much as we could."
