Moving Stories highlights the importance of high-quality gear for documentary filmmakers
Bright Tangerine (UK) has recently released a new short video in partnership with the Project Zero documentary production. Moving Stories: A Bright Tangerine Behindthe-Scenes Film explores where creativity and practicality meet: why the Project Zero team chose Bright Tangerine’s camera accessories for their journey.
Featuring filmmakers Dom Gould and Kitalé Wilson, Moving Stories highlights the collaboration between Bright Tangerine and Project Zero for the documentary’s journey across Iceland.
Initially started in 2023, Project Zero is a long-term documentary project exploring how climate change is affecting our planet’s natural landscape. Using sustainable travel and energy practices, the documentary is completely carbon-neutral.
Project Zero shot primarily on the Sony FX6 using Bright Tangerine’s Axl EVF Mount and Misfit Kick Mk II matte box. The documentary also made frequent use of the KASBAH Ātman Shoulder Rig for mobile storytelling.
“Efficiency is paramount in the field, where every second counts. For this documentary we were inspired to approach it with a more ‘shoot-to-cut’ ethos: an idea encouraged by renowned documentarian Werner Herzog. We kept our camera rig lean and purposeful – relying on the increased usability of the FX6 Plate Mk II and Mini Axl Arm. Gear selection plays a huge role, and the Misfit Kick Mk II allows us to quickly change filters and keep rolling, even in tough conditions.
The KASBAH Ātman Shoulder Rig was indispensable, allowing seamless transitions from shoulder-mounted immediacy to tripod stability, ensuring every shot served the story.” – Kitalé Wilson, Project Zer
The short film is available to watch on Bright Tangerine’s website and YouTube channel.
