« ECOBOT » is a 2’30’’ short feature film produced by HD Systems France and directed by Ben Elia.
But it's first a demo film.
The goal: With the combination of the Sony F65 camera with the Leica Summilux-C Cine lenses, with the collaboration between:
- HD Systems for the de-Bayered files and calibration of these files
- Digimage Cinema for calibration, grading and the final 4K DCP
- Leica
- BandPro
We clearly wanted to set up a new image, a new workflow

When using 4K camera with real 4K lenses, the aim is to select which part of the image will the audience stare at.

The bokeh, the aesthetical quality of this blur was part of our research…
