Zak Bagans Unlocks the Secrets of the Paranormal World with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro

The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro of Blackmagic It has been the choice of photography director Justin Brooks to shape the series ‘Destination of the Damned With Zak Bagans’, which follows documentary teams all over the world in their research on real stories of paranormal events and cursed enclaves.

Throughout his exciting first season, Destinations of the Damned with Zak Bagans Walk more than 12 countries investigating the paranormal activity of a Colombian site marked by a volcanic eruption; Portales to Mundo in Malaysia and Chile; Avengative islands in Singapore and Canada; a delighted Czech castle; an abandoned hotel in the Philippines; A road restaurant in Canada, and an asylum in Italy. Each of the enchanted places presented their own Filming challenges: “The size of the equipment was important because we had to transport them around the world and had to occupy the least possible space. This is why it was clear that we should use the model Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. I knew that this camera was compact, versatile and would give us an amazing image quality, ”explains Justin Brooks, director of photography.

The Max series team benefited from camera functions such as its Dual native iso value, un componente clave dado que muchas imágenes fueron rodadas en ambientes nocturnos con una iluminación limitada: “Rodar el programa casi exclusivamente de noche implicaba que la cámara tenía que ser capaz de filmar con poca iluminación. Además, por lo general no usábamos ledes Fresnel de más de 60 vatios, por lo que tenían que tener un gran alcance. El valor ISO nativo dual de la Pocket nos brindó la confianza de que siempre conseguiríamos imágenes de calidad cinematográfica. Given the paranormal nature of situations and places, we often entered the buildings only with the camera mounted to a stabilizer and a flashlight, and those images used to be my favorite of the series. ”

Brooks, beyond the visual fidelity of the camera, it could benefit from its Compact size: “When recording in these abandoned places, we often did not have much space. It was important that the equipment was light and compact to be able to manipulate them and for a matter of security, in addition to getting dynamic and interesting compositions. The reduced size of the Pocket Cinema Camera 6k Pro was excellent to follow our ghostbusters. In turn, it gave the recreations a cinematographic appearance, indistinctly filming ”.
