Can You Guess How Many Sundance Films Utilized Blackmagic's Cameras & DaVinci Resolve?

Blackmagic had a great showing at Sundance this year, with four different films having used Blackmagic cameras for their productions, and two dozen who used DaVinci Resolve for color grading.

While we mentioned “Being Evel” yesterday, there were three other Sundance films that used a variety of Blackmagic cameras. It’s interesting that of these four, three different Blackmagic camera models were used between them, with the older Cinema Camera coming out on top. As Blackmagic mentions in their release below, their family of cameras have become a worthy option for the independent filmmaker. It’s very cool to see their presence within the industry continue to grow alongside their cameras.

The films at Sundance shot on Blackmagic Cameras are:

Being Evel, Director and DP Daniel Junge: Blackmagic Cinema Cameras as well as Blackmagic Design’s Teranex 2D Processor and DaVinci Resolve;
Bob and the Trees, co DPs Chris Teague and Danny Vecchione: Pocket Cinema Cameras and DaVinci Resolve, Colorist Nat Jencks of Outlier Post;
The Strongest Man, DP Tom Garner: Production Camera 4K and DaVinci Resolve, Colorist TJ Nelson;
Things of the Aimless Wanderer, DP Kivu Ruhorahoza: Blackmagic Cinema Camera and DaVinci Resolve; Colorist Joseph Bicknell

Also worth noting are the whopping twenty four films graded in DaVinci Resolve. This is not as surprising, given Blackmagic and DaVinci Resolves veteran status in the color grading industry. That substantial list of films include:

3 1Ž2 Minutes, Colorist Greg Fisher of Company 3;
Best of Enemies, Colorist Andrew Balis at Different by Design, with Blackmagic Design’s Teranex 2D Processor also used on the film;
Call Me Lucky and The Overnight, Colorist Aaron Peak of Tool + Dye;
City of Gold, Finders Keepers and The Hunting Ground, Colorist Brian Hutchings at Different by Design;
