GoPro, Inc., (GPRO), enabler of some of most immersive and engaging content, is proud to declare a partnership with legendary Hollywood director, Ridley Scott, on the production of 20th Century Fox’s The Martian. Scott’s use of GoPro cameras in the production of the film represents the biggest cinematic integration of GoPro cameras in a Hollywood release, unlocking creative perspectives of what life on Mars would be like and drawing the viewer closer to the story.
“We used GoPro cameras in several of our biggest scenes in The Martian, and they really allowed us to capture not only the intensity and suspense of these moments, but also the intimacy of the characters themselves,” said Ridley Scott. “New technologies like GoPro give filmmakers the opportunity to really push the language of cinema forward and introduce audiences to new perspectives and layers of storytelling that can really be quite engaging.”
The use of GoPro cameras in the production of The Martian began with Scott using the camera as prop throughout the set, counting as a standard piece of the astronauts’ space suits. However, as Scott reviewed the resulting footage, he discovered the unique perspectives that the GoPro cameras unlocked, enabling a new way to showcase the intimate struggle of astronaut Mark Watney’s life on Mars. As a result, the GoPro cameras became a much larger part of the production than was initially intended.
GoPro, Inc. produces mountable and wearable cameras and accessories, which the Company refers to as capture devices. Additionally, the Company develops and provides desktop editing software and mobile applications for free to consumers.
