On this week’s Go Creative Show podcast host Ben Consoli talks to DP Ben Allan ACS about his latest film, Wild Squad Adventures. Not only was it shot in the insanely wide 5:1 aspect ratio, but it was also custom made for only one theater in the world. And that theater was created to play only this one film. Ben discusses the shooting and lighting challenges of the 5:1 aspect ratio, working with Blackmagic cinema cameras, shooting with his custom-built drone rig, and much more.
