NBCUniversal
News Group Purchases Panasonic AVC-ULTRA Camcorders for Worldwide
News Operations
As
part of its longstanding relationship with Panasonic, NBC News
assisted Panasonic in the development of the feature set of
the PX5000G and its next generation of ENG cameras. "The
design and functionality of the PX5000G makes it well equipped
for today's fast-paced and competitive news business,"
says Leonard Venezia, NBCUniversal Vice-President of Field Operations
and Engineering. "The camera weighs a mere 7.5lbs, uses
CMOS sensors, has very low power consumption (29W), great sensitivity
and S/N. We used the camera for a Telemundo production, La Voz,
and the production team was impressed with the quality of the
picture. We also value the microP2 media for its reasonable
price, durability and speed."

C300 Mark II Camera and XC10 Camcorder Capture
Short Films "Trick Shot" And "Battle Of The Ages"
in 4K
"Trick
Shot," directed by Evan Kaufmann with cinematography by
Gale Tattersall (Grace and Frankie, House M.D.), is
a classic con movie with a twist. Reformed pool shark "Eight
Ball" Bobby is forced to play one more crucial billiards
game to save his son Devon, who got mixed up in the wrong crowd.
Shot on location in Nevada, Tattersall utilized the EOS C300
Mark II camera to capture the menacing darkness of a seedy pool
hall, the stark beauty of the barren desert, and the tense drama
of a clever heist film.

Yourd, and DP John Pope have documented his efforts in their
forthcoming film, "Crocodile Gennadiy," relying on
