Evolve's Award Winning Work: Behind The Scenes

The Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography

Breaking the Silence - Trailer here: https://vimeo.com/35612877

Shot by Joel & Jesse Edwards, Bill Roach, Mike Bove.

Produced by Kory Kozak. Executive Producers: Victor Vitarelli & Valerie Gordon.

Shot over six weeks from the streets of Dallas to the hills of Norway, the piece begins with a nightmare sequence envisioned by Monika herself. Supporting images were built via a studio art department, and extras were cast to depict Monika's own fears. The opening sequence creates a powerful beginning to a story with an equally powerful message. The story then transitions to the safe and peaceful fjords of Norway, where Monika grew up and trained.

The TV feature was shot on a AbelCine http://www.abelcine.com high speed Phantom V65 package and Sony F3 Digital Cinema cameras, complimented by Angenieux zoom primes, Zeiss primes and Canon 5D Mk 3 cameras with Canon L Cine Mod lenses.

At that time, the Phantom cameras were still being modded for remote field use. They were much more studio friendly, so remote fjords in Norway presented some real challenges, added Jesse Edwards, co-founder of Evolve. Mike Nichols at AbelCine was key to the shoot and worked closely with us to help put together numerous solutions, like the Phantom PCU control system and several remote power options.

Kessler mo-con system was used for several of the shots in this feature to yield highly elaborate motion control moves. Multiple scenes incorporated specific movement photography utilizing Kessler camera Jib arms, dolly sliders and Steadicam. Finally, an elaborate mix of point-of-view, van to subject filming, statics and handheld shots were incorporated to add perspective.

Joel and Jesse Edwards also edited the piece with Final Cut Pro 7, Adobe After Effects, mocha Pro Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite and Davinci Resolve.
