When the Kinefinity Mavo LF was announced last year many people had the same reaction: disbelief.
How could this relatively unknown company from China produce a full-frame cinema camera with specifications that compete with the top manufacturers and sell it for less than half the cost of the nearest-priced competitor? Will they be able to actually ship the camera with these specs?
Kinefinity gave me the honor of creating the launch film for their newest marvel, the Mavo LF, a full-frame cinema camera capable of shooting 6K resolution with more than 14 stops of dynamic range. Their only requests were that I shoot with a small crew, show the camera’s low-light capabilities, and use a variety of skin tones. Game on.
