What We’re Shooting With: Sony FS7
As a small production company specializing in authentic storytelling with real people, the equipment we purchase needs to work in a very specific way. Namely, it cannot get in they way of gaining access and intimacy with the people we film. This presents some unique challenges when selecting a camera package. It can’t be too large or cumbersome to set up, lest we miss an important moment or the subjects of our films get intimidated by a huge camera. Many filmmakers have successfully shot intimate stories with larger cameras, but we’ve found that we work much quicker, quieter and closer when our camera system is as unobtrusive as possible. Enter the Sony FS7.
