Broadcast Tech News – Sony’s next-gen camera system used for principal photography on political thriller Official Secrets

Sony Electronics’s next-generation motion picture camera system, VENICE, has been used for principal photography on Entertainment One-produced political thriller Official Secrets, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Designed for high-end cinematography, VENICE’s full-frame sensor can capture images with a resolution of up to 6048 x 4032 in almost any format, and offers flexibility and creative freedom to match a filmmaker’s shooting requirements – from aspect ratios to bokeh and lenses.
