Many of Domestika's shoots are structured around three cameras: “As a rule, we provide a long shot combined with a shorter medium shot on the same axis and another from a higher angle. Then, if more details are needed, we complement it with a closer side shot.” The capabilities of the Pocket Cinema 6K Pro are perfectly suited to this production format, according to Esteras: “It was essential to be able to find a set of cameras that was lightweight and versatile, but at the same time did not compromise quality. In general, we use an ISO value of 1250 and overexpose the images. This provides significant headroom in post-production to recover detail in the shadows and black areas of the image, while using false color controls to prevent loss of information in the highlights.”

It's really revolutionary to be able to have everything in one program. Not only is the delivery of the material accelerated, but it also helps to achieve better quality of the finished product,” Esteras concludes.
