Menlo Church, with campuses located around the Bay Area, also has a dedicated online audience for their weekly services. Recently, we completed an integration project in partnership with Diversified to build, configure, and integrate a new Sony multi-camera system into their Menlo Park, CA campus. The system featured Sony BURANOs in conjunction with FR7 PTZ cameras. Below, Harold Escalante, Broadcast Video Director at Menlo Church, gives more insight into why they chose these models.

Netflix's The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox is a documentary series that gets up close and personal with the 2024 Red Sox, following the ups and downs of a roller-coaster season. As the first major project to shoot with the Sony BURANO, we sat down with Director of Photography Terry Zumalt and his long-time First AC Devin Keebler, to discuss in more detail.

Sony has released the long-awaited version 2 firmware update for the BURANO cinema camera (available as version 2.01 on the Sony website). The update provides new recording formats, new cinema-friendly features, exposure tools, and a host of other updates.

Sony’s newest full-frame CineAlta camera, BURANO, came to market earlier this year to great fanfare and robust sales. The combination of an 8.6K sensor, similar to the one found in Sony’s flagship VENICE 2 CineAlta camera, combined with a smaller, lighter body and a compelling complement of codecs, has proven popular with a broad swathe of customers.

Recently DPs Bill Winters and Rick Siegel had the opportunity to spend time with the Sony BURANO. After capturing some test footage, they shared their thoughts and images with us.
