ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

The veteran cinematographer is known for his work on indie features such as The Chicago Eight, starring Gary Cole, Danny Masterson and Orlando Jones; Montana Amazon, starring Olympia Dukakis and Haley Joel Osment; and the upcoming thriller Brake, starring Stephen Dorff.

Also known for his work on documentaries such as The US vs John Lennon, Mathers serves as the president of The Digital Cinema Society, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the industry’s informed integration of new technologies.

“Anton/Bauer stands alone when it comes to maximum battery performance, superior reliability and versatility,” said Mathers. “Whether shooting with digital cinema cameras from Red, Arri, Panasonic or Sony, Anton/Bauer has continuously provided me with dependable, trouble-free power.”

Throughout his career, Mathers has worked on a wide variety of film and TV projects, each necessitating a different type of camera. One constant, he stated, has been Anton/Bauer. “I’ve relied on the brand to provide me with one power solution that can be used for many different types of equipment, from cameras to lighting instruments, on a variety of projects. This versatility is crucial in motion-picture production and especially important to the owner/operator who can get a faster return on investment by sharing a single power product.”

Mathers typically uses Red One, Epic or Arri Alexa cameras with Anton/Bauer HyTRON 140 batteries, as well as the high-power Dionic 90, which is helpful when camera rigs need to be lighter.

Mathers also said he is impressed with the Anton/Bauer signature Gold Mount system, which ensures that a camera is securely locked to a battery despite any rough and tumble the camera might endure while filming.

Providing power requirements ranging from 7.2V-28V, the  Gold Mount system is a widely used battery-mounting system by professionals in the industry. Owing to Anton/Bauer’s strong relationships with key camera manufacturers, the Gold Mount is available as factory-standard equipment on many models, including Arri, Thomson, Hitachi, Ikegami, JVC, Panasonic and Red.

Mathers concludes: “Filming is a fast-paced, sometimes chao­tic experience, so when a piece of equipment needs attention, either for repair or upgrading, I need the problem solved as quickly as possible so as not to hinder production. Anton/Bauer has come through again and again in this area. Anton/Bauer has been my go-to battery throughout my career, and will remain so for my upcoming projects.”
