British cinematographer Ben Saffer and director Charlotte Peters chose the Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 with Cooke Panchro 65/i spherical lenses to shoot their 1970s period film ‘To Fly or Float’. The whole concept was to create a layered look with interesting contrast ratios.
Because this film is set in the 1970s, they wanted to use a camera and lens setup that carried the emotional closeness of handheld 16mm, but translated into the sculptural space of the 65mm format.
