News—February 2010;

Star Street Video supplied Sony HDW 790 equipment to ASA Productions for the filming of “The Long March to Freedom” a programme that tells for the first time the story of thousands of British and Commonwealth prisoners of war forced to march from Poland to Germany in the winter of 1945 to evade the advancing Soviet Army. Filming involved interviewing the dwindling group of survivors of this march.

D.O.P Richard P Hill used the HDW 790 in 25P and lit the interviewees using Kinoflo “Diva” lights and Panther “Romy” lights also supplied by Star Street Video.

The choice to make this production in HDCam was an obvious one said ASA Director Stephen Saunders:
“Most Broadcasters ask us to deliver in HDCam these days so it made sense to originate all material in the same format. It also future proofs the interview material. The veterans are all in their 80’s now so getting the interviews done reasonably quickly was a must. “

“The Long march to Freedom” will broadcast in 2010.
