Capturing the look and feel of life aboard a spacecraft on a six-year mission through the solar system requires imagination, creativity and a flexible camera system. The production team behind the TV series Defying Gravity used all three, including Sony’s F35 high-definition camera system. According to producers for the show, which premiered Aug. 2 on ABC, the F35 camera and Sony HDCAM SR cassettes delivered “a rich, clean quality” and were a perfect match for the heavy amount of visual effects used in many scenes. “The F35 was the hands-down winner for Defying Gravity,” says Executive Producer Michael Edelstein. “It had the best image quality and great 35mm depth of field. We had a tremendous amount of visual effects, and the F35 is a fantastic digital camera for heavy greenscreen VFX work.” During preproduction, the team conducted extensive side-by-side comparisons with many competitive high-end digital cameras and found that the dynamic range and color rendition of the F35 made it the best choice for the show, according to Edelstein. “This camera rendered the most attractive flesh tones on our actors, which is an area where most other digital cameras fall short,” he says. “The F35 gave us a beautiful ‘filmic’ look. The shallow depth of field made our actors and sets look fantastic, and the variable speed performance gave us a great deal of flexibility to achieve the weightless look of outer space.” The camera’s ramping capabilities are notable in several scenes and played a key role in creating very dramatic effects that were used to reveal elements of the characters’ backgrounds. For example, one scene shows a character flashing back to her childhood, standing alone and abandoned in the middle of a train station.
