With the storyboard in place, Culprit Creative only had a six-hour window to complete this short yet intricate production. “In under ten seconds, we had to dolly up through the window and then all the way down over Santa Claus’s shoulder,” commented Director of Photography Colt Seman.
To accommodate his needs, Colt paired his sleek RED Weapon Dragon with Anton/Bauer’s CINE 90 Gold Mount® battery. Having Anton/Bauer batteries on hand, he was able to give his workflow a consistent supply of reliable power. Especially with the battery’s LCD that accurately displays its run-time in hours and minutes, Colt could avoid unnecessary schedule delays.
You’re always doing a bunch of guesswork with other batteries and their run-times; it’s never really clear. On the other hand, the run-time display on the Anton/Bauer battery tells you exactly when you need to switch it out and that convenience alone made a big difference

To help power his SmallHD 702 monitors on set, he would also utilize the battery’s convenient P-Tap®. And since it’s located on the side towards the back, Seman found it easy to access extra power during his production.
