Amazon Prime Video’s Making Their Mark Shot With @blackmagicnewsofficial Cameras “Making Their Mark,” the hit Amazon Prime Video series that gives viewers access into the Australian Football League’s top teams, was shot using Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 and Pocket Cinema Camera 6K digital cinema cameras by Melbourne’s JamTV. Color correction for the series was completed using DaVinci Resolve Studio. “Making Their Mark” is a seven part series that follows six teams in the Australian Football League, giving viewers a never before view into the league’s teams, players and coaches. Shot during the Covid impacted 2020 season, the series mixes game footage with footage from inside the clubhouses, executive rooms and the player’s personal lives. To get close to the action on the field and up close to the players and coaches, Melbourne’s JamTV Australia chose to use a number of URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 as the main cameras for the production. Pocket Cinema Camera 6K cameras were used for gimble and off speed shots. DP Matt Koopmans explained: “The reason we went for the Pocket Cinema Cameras and URSA Mini Pros was because we needed to shoot high speed and both these cameras had the ability to do that and were at a price point that worked for the production. For some of the games, we used up to a five Blackmagic camera set ups, with two on ISO, two in the team rooms and one shooting for color commentary.” Shooting over the entire 2020 season, Jam TV captured more than 2,500 hours and 650+ terabytes of footage, all shot in Blackmagic RAW 8:1, and used more than 20 camera operators across Australia. To capture all of the various types of shots in those 2,500 hours, they relied on the Blackmagic OS’s ability to let them easily switch between frame rates quickly and on the camera’s ease of use. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTDoVqCh-xn/?utm_medium=tumblr
