Jon-Hebert Barto Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 A lot of the "nature" shots, with available light. Max knows much about this, I think. I know he likes Malick very much. Maybe he can be of some help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kukla Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 A selection of what they termed "hyperreal" shots, often with the intention of accentuating an epiphany or unspoken moment, were shot in 65mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Aguilar Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I haven't seen a direct quote from anybody involved in the production regarding which scenes/specific shots used the 65mm format and I believe that I've read every technical article on this film. I may be wrong, but I think Lubezki just talked about "enhanced" moments between Smith and Pocahontas on the AC article, or something like that. Nothing about the ships or other sequences. Anyway, I saw the film twice at the theater and I couldn't discern any large-format shot. It was very, very sharp, but nothing looked like real 65mm footage.

My source is the post house that actually worked on those sequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think ,they were going to shoot whole film in 65mm , then changed their minds , dont think anything was shot in 65mm, stuck with Anamorphic . John Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kukla Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 The AC article confirms that a very small percentage of the film was shot on 65mm, although you are right that Lubezki originally was looking at using it for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano Nante Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Really? Can you use a steadycam or shoot handheld with a 65mm camera? I thought those weighed too much to be carried around just like that... (Malick and Lubezki agreed not to use tripods or cranes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted September 15, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted September 15, 2006 Panavision have a lightweight 65mm camera which can be used for steadicam and handheld. As far as I know it is an MOS camera though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Making of... short has a couple of shots of them being hand held. They look so compact. I tried one on once, a bit on the heavy side but not as awkward as an NPR. Can you find the reflection of S.Kubrick using one in '2001'? Apparently all the dialogue in 'The New World' was post-synced because Malick was giving directions during takes.
