Film Master Supports Oscar Winning Documentary

 Posted: 16/03/2010
Oscar winning documentary The Cove follows an elite team of activists, filmmakers and free divers in a covert mission to penetrate a remote and hidden cove in Japan, where they uncover a horrifying microcosm of devastating ecological crimes; a massive slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises every year and the subsequent sale of their mercury tainted meat. The unforgettable story of The Cove, directed by renowned photographer Louie Psihoyos and produced by Paula DuPr Pesmen and Fisher Stevens, is inspiring audiences worldwide to take action.  The film puts viewers in the water and in the drama with the filmmakers with breathtaking impact. 
 
The Cove is the first nomination and win for Louie Psihoyos.  It was edited by award-winning editor Geoffrey Richman.
 
Utilising state-of-the-art techniques, ingeniously camouflaged and planted equipment, the production purchased Sony PDW-F350L, HDR-SR1 cameras, thermal imaging, and night-vision cameras.  Some of the footage was also shot from unmanned aerial drones and a blimp equipped with a remote-controlled camera. Sony HVR-A1U HDV cameras were used where the filmmakers had to stay lightweight, as well as Sony HVR-Z1U for the covert underwater filming.

Raising awareness of dolphin abuse

 Posted: 15/03/2010
Sound Devices recorders helped the crew of the Oceanic Preservation Society bring to light the suffering and killing of wild dolphins in Taiji, Japan in its new documentary, “The Cove.” The film, which has been nominated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the Best Documentary Feature category, chronicles the annual round up of dolphins in Japan to be sold to the captive dolphin industry. Disguised and sold as more expensive whale meat to school lunch programs and as part of the general food supply around the country, the film stresses the health effects and environmental causes of consuming dolphin meat, which has extremely high levels of mercury.
 
An essential element of the story was, sadly, the audio which captured the sounds of the dolphins screaming and thrashing as dolphin hunters banged poles to frighten them and drive them into a secret cove where they would be hunted and killed.
