AntonBauer Dionic 90 packs on set of new Sci-Fi Action Film Hero Punk

Cinematographer Ferguson Sauve-Rogan Selects AntonBauer DIONIC 90 Batteries to Power the All-Digital Film's Production

When faced withOn-location of Hero Punk the task of recreating writer/director Kanen Flowers' cyber-punk superhero world on screen for the upcoming all-digital indie film Hero Punk, DP/Cinematographer Ferguson Sauve-Rogan knew he would need a lot of peripherals to power up his rig. That's why Rogan relies on portable power solutions from Anton/Bauer®, part of Vitec Videocom, a Vitec Group company and a premier global provider of batteries, chargers and other mobile power systems for the professional broadcast, video, film and healthcare technology industries.

Hero Punk, a soon-to-be released independent feature film from Flowers (produced by Scruffy.TV), is a futuristic sci-fi thriller that takes place in the year 2042 and tells the story of a dystopian society in which authorities look to eliminate people with mutant powers. More than half of the film is being shot on a 1,100 sq. ft. green screen and the director heavily relies on post-production VFX tools to bring the complex digital world to life. During filming, Rogan selected several Anton/Bauer DIONIC® 90 batteries, as well as a few Gold Mount® solutions, to power the three monitors and Zacuto Z-Finder EVF that accompany the Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera he is using for production. Rogan's kit also includes RED EPIC cameras, Canon DSLRs and 35 mm film.

"Sure, we could run cable, but there are so many already in the studio that I don't want to add the cable clutter on the floor," says Rogan. "I have recently been finding myself shooting more on the Blackmagic Digital Cinema Camera, which has an internal battery that can't be removed. Since it has a shorter life span than what I require, this forces me to go after a more professional battery solution. On Hero Punk, the Anton/Bauer DIONIC 90 batteries allow me to power a ridiculous amount of accessories on my camera so that the director and his staff can have a video village."
