Anton/Bauer rides along with indie film BRAKE

CINEMATOGRAPHER JAMES MATHERS CASTS POWER SOLUTIONS FROM ANTON/BAUER TO RIDE ALONGSIDE ACTOR STEPHEN DORFF FOR INDIE FILM BRAKE Anton/Bauer Batteries Helped Resolve Unique Filming Challenges

STUDIO CITY, CA, JUNE 7, 2012-To meet the needs of his wide-ranging career as one of the most in-demand cinematographers in film, James Mathers is always on the lookout for dependable, long-running batteries. Thats why he counts on Anton/Bauer , part of Vitec Videocom, a Vitec Group company, and a premier global provider of batteries, chargers, lighting and other mobile power systems for the professional broadcast, video and film industries, for power solutions. For his most recent shoot, the indie thriller Brake, Mathers once again used Anton/Bauer batteries and accessories, with great success.

Brake, starring Stephen Dorff and directed by Gabe Torres, posed unique challenges for Mathers. Dorff stars as Jeremy Reins, a Secret Service agent who is held captive in the trunk of a car and endures mental and physical torture as terrorists attempt to extract information for their plot against the U.S. president. Since the film is shot almost entirely inside what appears to be the trunk of a moving car, Mathers chose the RED ONE digital cinema camera to capture the dramatic events of the film.

The RED ONE has a good appetite for power, especially when youre running accessories like the zoom motor and monitors, says Mathers, who equipped his two RED ONE cameras with six Anton/Bauer HyTRON 140 batteries. The Anton/Bauer HyTRON 140 dependably powers the camera for well over an hour. Another thing about the HyTRONs in particular is that there are no air travel restrictions. The HyTRON 140 is a 140 Wh NiMH battery, designed for the power demands of todays HD gear and on-camera lighting systems. Offering excellent counterbalance for lens weight, it is ideal for a high-current draw and can be used with portable HMI lights. On Brake, Mathers took advantage of the HyTRON 140 to also power his 1x1 Litepanels when working with water necessitated using only DC power for the safety of the actor..
