FOXTEL HD+

2008 launched with a flurry, with Matt helming shoots for Foxtel’s HD channel launch reel. With four shoot days in Sydney & Melbourne, the job required the rapid acquisition of HD content to serve the short turn-around project.

Elements included a two-camera shoot at the NSW/WA 20Twenty cricket, and a three-camera with jib coverage of an A-league football fixture. Both were shot on the Panasonic Varicam using variable speed. Other content included Foxtel’s Melbourne Call Centre and a Foxtel Installation sequence, both shot on the Sony HDcam F900R.

Produced by Dei EL-AYOUBI, with the Area 51 inhouse Producers MARSHY & RALPHY. Cameramen Rob JOSEPH, Warwick BROWN, and Grip/Jib Chris DAVIES.
