The entry of the Fujifilm GFX100 II model into the Turkish market was announced with a promotional film shot in Istanbul!
Fujifilm has added a new one to its Fujifilm GFX series cameras, which have undertaken many artistic projects from feature films to music videos, from fashion to advertisements and short films. We worked with award-winning directors to show the innovations offered by the GFX100 II model, which attracts attention with its new features, in the field of cinema.
All images in the promotional film, which was shot in 4 days in Eminönü, Karaköy, Bahçeköy and Beykoz with a team of approximately 40 people, were shot with GFX100 II, including drone images. While Ahmet Bayer, one of Turkey’s leading names, was both the director and cinematographer of the film, the second cinematographer and creative producer was award-winning cinematographer Arda Yıldıran.
Fujifilm’s new flagship GFX100 II has been introduced!
A brand new era begins for professional cameras. Fujifilm will bring a brand new breath with its new flagship GFX100 II.
The promotional film, which is about a man and a woman who do not know each other, escape from the bad guys together for an unknown reason, was designed with scenes consisting of action scenes, motorcycle and vehicle tracking, actual shots and low-light atmospheres to push the limits of the camera.
“GFX100 II managed to show us the dynamic range and color space it promised”
GFX100 II received full marks from both Ahmet Bayer and Arda Yıldıran at the end of the shooting with its anti-vibration feature in handheld shooting, its ability to track moving objects without losing focus, its high dynamic range and cinematic images.
Ahmet Bayer made the following statements about the camera: “We wanted to shoot a video on how we can use this camera in the field as a cinematographer working with traditional cameras. It gave us great pleasure to see how much freedom the light perception and depth perception created by the large sensor of the camera gave to our film and signaled how impressive images could be created.
Additionally, the camera has an in-body image stabilization system that is not available in traditional cameras. This feature successfully prevented unwanted shakes and provided the movement we wanted for the action. We also used the object tracking feature in motorcycle scenes. He had no trouble following even the engines intertwined at high speed throughout the entire plan.
In addition, we were able to create the atmosphere we wanted even in candle and match light environments that required us to go up to 6400 ISOs. As a result, the camera managed to show us the dynamic range and color space it promised.”
