This film was shot on the Sony FX6 in five countries across Africa over six weeks. It was an incredible feat for our 3-person crew. The intention was to create a passion piece that represented the values of our production company Grafton Create on a new cinema-line camera:
Thanks to Sony Australia for your partnership in this project. @sonyalpha.anz
1. Be willing to take risks
2. Capture what we feel, not just what we see
3. Nature is our canvas. Always
4. Pleasure is in the adventure

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed the film. I see a few comments asking what lenses were used. Here they are. - Sony 14mm f1.8 - Sony 35mm f1.4 - Sony 50mm f1.2 - Sony 200-600mm f5.6

@WashingtonMoyo 7 месяцев назад

Changing lenses must have been some serious production, considering wind and sand conditions. Thanks for the share!

I don't think the typical viewer realizes how much work goes into something like this. Subbed, because this was not only beautifully shot by both ground and air teams but because I can appreciate the lengths your team went through to produce this. Bravo

As a documentary filmmaker in Ethiopia, I have dedicated a significant amount of time to my craft. However, witnessing this masterpiece has ignited a renewed sense of creativity within me. I am deeply inspired and salute the creators for their outstanding work. From Ethiopia, I extend my heartfelt appreciation and admiration. Keep it coming, please.

@mickydix 7 месяцев назад

Honestly. This is not about the camera. I understand that the FX6 is awesome. But to shoot this and edit this takes real talent. The amount of work, creativity and dedication you guys put into this is amazing and can be done by only few creators. Bravo. Keep doing this and growing. I am not sure what you guys aim for. But if you bring more user friendly content in this quality. It will blow up. NO one is doing it. Hats off to you guys. Everyone who participated in making this video.

How well you blend the behind the scenes footage with all the beauty of nature is simply perfect!

I always thought a 2 minutes video takes exactly two minutes to create, or a 5 minutes video requires only five minutes. Not knowing anything about cameras and wanting to tell stories here on RU-vid somehow got me started, and it was then and only then that I realised I was wrong the whole time. I can not thank this team enough for all the time they invested in putting this masterpiece together.

Elliot I don't think you understans how mesmerized, impressed and inspired I am. I can't even begin to explain my awe to your colorgrading, composition and cinematography. You are the PINNACLE of an example of how ONE (or a few) person/people with a travel friendly light setup can create mind-boggling hollywood material that surpasses teams of 10-20-30 people and productions with double digit thousands of dollars of gear and camera. If one day I have 25% of the skills and knowledge you have I'll be contempt. This is the type of content and quality I've dreamt of being able to make for nearly 6 years.

It's my dream to have a drone I can strap my camera to. Capturing beautiful shots like this in an FPV style is immaculate. Incredible piloting for the drone shots, something the Mini 2 can never produce even in FPV mode. Great editing as well, it tells a story and that's what filmmaking is. Great job showcasing not what the camera can do, but what you can do. Love my fellow creatives.
