Filmmaker Phil Holland got his hands on a brand new RED Weapon 8K camera and put it straight to work, documenting master blacksmith Tony Swatton forge a modern take on a Roman Gladius Sword featuring Damascus steel.

For those interested in the lenses used, lighting, post workflow, or some behind the scenes stills; Holland has written up an informative behind-the-scenes post here: http://phfx.com/articles/forgedIn8K/
