About the project

  • Launch film for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
  • Shot on one of the first prototypes worldwide
  • Written, directed, shot and edited by Christopher Schlierf

The brief

In 2018 Blackmagic Design launched a camera meant to disrupt the market, and gave Directors Duo one of the earliest prototypes to show what it could do.

The approach

Christopher Schlierf created, directed, shot and edited a film aimed squarely at filmmakers. He found new ways to move the small camera, such as a monopod boom with a one-hand gimbal while riding a skateboard, for fast, dynamic boom shots.

The result

The film supported the camera's launch and showed that its images could compete with high-end cinema cameras.
