Award-winning filmmaker Ric Burns and his longtime cinematographer Buddy Squires recently premiered their new documentary, American Masters - American Ballet Theatre: A History, in honor of the ABT's 75th anniversary. Indiewire recently sat down with the the two Abel clients for an in-depth talk about the production, including their use of slow motion photography.

With the introduction of the Flex4K from Vision Research, the Phantom high-speed camera lineup offers an interesting and comprehensive range of choices for super slow-motion. The Flex4K, the 2K Flex and the Miro LC320S represent three distinct segments of performance, capability and price.

The Phantom camera lineup continues to expand. It now includes the Phantom Flex4K, the 2K Phantom Flex, and the affordable, ultra-compact Miro M320S. This chart gives an overview of these cameras and compares specs side-by-side.

The Phantom Flex has been surpassing expectations since its release in September. To explain some of the features that make the Flex the most versatile digital high-speed camera available today, we put together a short video featuring our Phantom specialists.

Since its release in September, the Phantom Flex, from Vision Research, has been used on commercial and feature film shoots around the world, capturing stunning images in both 2D and 3D. Already being asked for by name, the Flex is surpassing expectations as it redefines the high-speed camera landscape.

Recently ProductionHUB.com talked with Moe Shore, Director of New Technologies & Strategic Relations for AbelCine, about Phantom Flex, the newest addition to the lineup of high-speed HD cameras from Vision Research.

Numerous cameras available today feature a "35mm-sized sensor." How is this defined? They all vary slightly in size, and some are shaped differently so that, when used for HD shooting, the usable size is dramatically reduced. Our clients frequently ask how to compare these different cameras and how sensor size affects field of view and lens coverage. On this topic, words and numbers can be difficult to interpret, so AbelCine decided to produce a graphical chart to better compare areas of coverage.

Those of us who have been around awhile are marveling at the rate of development our industry is experiencing at the Digital Cinema level right now. It may be that future bloggers (can we call them "Floggers"?) will look back at this time in the history of Digital Cinema and declare it a unique era of technical fertility and creative vision.
