Filmmakers Used Atomos Shinobi Monitors to Film a Documentary Across the Sahara
Share
Filmmakers Pascal Schmitt and Luca Prinz relied on Atomos Shinobi II and Shinobi GO monitors to capture their documentary journey through the Sahara Desert, where extreme sunlight and constant movement made on-camera monitoring unreliable. The bright, 1500-nit displays allowed them to maintain accurate exposure, focus, and framing across changing environments, from mountain shadows to open desert. The lightweight, durable monitors helped the duo stay confident and efficient while filming long-form documentary scenes and fast-paced YouTube content in demanding conditions.
