Technology… Taking New Steps

We live in an amazing technological age. So we are always looking at ways of harnessing these new innovations.

As a Sony Supported Production Company we make full use of the lasted innovations including:

  • HDV especially the Z5 and Z7 cameras
  • XD-cam EX- the EX1 and EX3 cameras
  • XD-cam HD- especially the 700
  • HD-cam- especially the 790p
  • HD-cam SR- the one and only 9000

The size and portability of some of these new cameras allow us to reach into people’s lives as never before. Often large camera crews and traditional filming methods can be more intimidating or logistically difficult to use.

We have come to solely rely on the build quality and reliability that the Sony range offers. After all we work in some of the most challenging environments on the planet…

It’s therefore pointless arriving on a location after months of planning only to discover that your camera no longer works- Sony cameras have NEVER let us down!  

New Earth Films also provide Sony with Independent consultancy and development, plus working as an Independent Certified Expert…

or ICE for short.

We are also proud to be working with:

  • Sony Audio Solutions for support in microphones and headphones.
  • Sony Media for support in solid-state memory SXS cards and Master Digital Tapes, Including DV-cam for HDV.

We have used Sony tape media in temperatures as low as –37c with not a single error or malfunction. When you think about it your whole production depends on the contents of a little plastic box. The tape.
