ZEISS ON VICE

"Michael Mann has a very dynamic visual style. His camera is never static. He creates anticipation, a tension in the frame that comes from a feeling that your peripheral vision has been taken away. You are in the driver's seat. Achieving this on Miami Vice came down to a combination of great operators with almost entirely handheld cameras. A critical part of this combination was the Zeiss 6-24mm DigiZoom™. It has a great range, is lightweight and high speed. It responded well to a variety of extreme conditions, from brilliant daylight to very low light night exteriors. It handled the humidity in Miami and, due to its compact size, allowed us to fit into some pretty tight spaces, including the front seat of a Ferrari and the cockpit of a powerboat –— places one usually cannot go with a zoom. This lens lived on the A-camera. Of course the zoom capability was key. Imperceptible zooms were constantly part of the visual storytelling, always pushing in and pulling you closer to the action. In realizing Michael's vision of Miami Vice, the DigiZoom was a perfect fit."
