Patrick Cooper Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I hope many of you are familiar with a French made film called Microcosmos which focuses on the life of insects. It reminds me very much of Baraka. When I saw it at the cinema, I was blown away by how clear and sharp it looked. The close up photography in particular was incredibly sharp with amazing detail and clarity. I was wondering if this film was shot on 70mm (actually 65mm.) The only information regarding the cinematography I obtained at the time was the fact that years were spent developing the lenses for this film.

Premium Member Phil Savoie Posted December 2, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted December 2, 2006 35mm - I was unaware that 'special' lenses were used - does anyone have some information about the optics? Many thanks, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
