Patrick Barry Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Here is a link to a photo on the set of Apocalypto. Can anyone identify what kind of camera this is? http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0472043/Ss/...?hint=tt0472043 Thanks.

Patrick Barry Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 I personally love film. Only shot 16mm though. What are your opinions on this camera, and video in general? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Bonomo Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 higher resolution picture here. Anyway, didn't they say this movie was going to be entirely shot with the Genesis? I saw an Arricam on a Steadicam in the behind the scenes featurette... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Stephen Williams Posted December 4, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted December 4, 2006 Anyone else notice that they're missing the bottom lens support in that picture? Hi Brad, There seems to be a mid support to the matte bars on the far side. Never used a PV with a heavy zoom myself. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Erd Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Does this mean that PV had to scrub out the lens aperture with soap when they got it back? :P Well... I don't know if they use soap, but they should at least swab down the eye cup with some isopropanol :lol: All kidding aside, you can get pink eye and other infections that way. It's a good argument for brining your own donuts to the set, and for the director to have their own view finder.... at least IMOVHO B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George White Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Anyway, didn't they say this movie was going to be entirely shot with the Genesis? I saw an Arricam on a Steadicam in the behind the scenes featurette... There was an article in the LA Times over the weekend about the "making of" which said that film was used for about 2% of the footage primarily for some slow motion shots because the Genesis couldn't go fast enough. Also talked about Mel Gibson teaching the cast how to run in slow motion, how cheap the extras were, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tough to see in the smaller picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Is he really crazy enough to shoot at 30FPS (see high-res picture)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Brad Grimmett Posted December 8, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted December 8, 2006 Is he really crazy enough to shoot at 30FPS (see high-res picture)? I noticed the same thing, but it says "30FR", not "30fps", which is the standard way to denote the framerate, so maybe "30FR" means something else. Or maybe it does mean 30fps, but they could have been shooting slightly overcranked for that particular shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
