Those About to Die | Teaser

Those About To Die is an epic drama set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told — the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most…blood and sport. The series introduces an ensemble of characters from all corners of the Roman Empire who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics, and dynasties.

I worked shoulder to shoulder with Director/Photographer Todd Anthony and the team from Peacock to film a series of portraits in super slo-motion. We filmed over 8 days with few cast members in Rome - Cinecittà. The first part was shot with Canon C300 mk3 in 4K 60FPS. The big part of it was shot on RED VV 4K 240FPS.
