Samuel Guitons documentary short Spiral won Nat Geo Wilds RED Challenge at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival Awards ceremony in Wyoming, USA.
Launched by Nat Geo Wild and RED Digital Cinema, the challenge saw 10 filmmakers outfitted with state-of-the-art RED camera equipment and given 15 weeks to create a five-minute short film.
Core SWX was chosen to provide its Hypercore Slim 8 RED battery packs and a GP-2LSJ charger to each of the filmmakers.
Winner of the Nat Geo Wild RED Challenge, Samuel Guiton, said: “The Core SWX batteries did a perfect job. The products provided a seamless connection to the RED camera, allowing the camera to anticipate low power and shut down properly to prevent any loss of data. The large rear screen on the batteries accurately display the life expectancy and helped anticipate switches while shooting, ensuring not missing that shot you’ve been waiting for so long to capture, which is frequent in wildlife filmmaking.”
