“Let us pray together that war never again disturbs the tranquility and beauty of this place…”
In the summer of 2024, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands celebrated eighty years of peace after the Battle of Saipan. I filmed coverage of the event for the Northern Marianas College, who intended to include the footage in a future documentary about World War II and its effects on the islands.
The footage was captured on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k with a 24-105 Canon lens with image stabilization. I graded the following stills in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
