Conservation-themed film features usage of the Sony Burano digital cinema camera.

World-renowned Conservation photographers Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen, co-founders of SeaLegacy, and three-time Academy Award-winning cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki traveled to Western Australia with Sony’s new digital cinema camera, the BURANO, to create an important film on the ocean and the future of the planet called “The Knowing.”

To help tell this story, the filmmakers used the new Sony BURANO, a digital cinema camera that combines the image quality of the flagship VENICE camera system with the size and flexibility of a smaller camera – perfect for wildlife filmmakers or small crews. With its compact size and incredible image quality, the BURANO met their needs in lowlight settings, allowing the filmmakers to film the endangered Southern Right Whale underwater with their newborn calves – showcasing the recovery of a species that was considered critically endangered just ten years ago.
