Premium Member Brad Grimmett Posted April 18, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 18, 2007 Not taking sides but... how do you figure? You can't put a mag on top of a 535! The picture you linked looks more like an Arricam ST. Of course we all know that extra camera (and crew) bodies are brought out on large projects, and aren't always given the credit they deserve. Good point. When I first looked at the picture I thought it was an Arricam, but I don't believe the Arricam was available during the time Band of Brothers was shot, so......assumptions were made. I obviously wasn't thinking. A quick glance at the picture and, "Nope, not a Moviecam". I'll try to actually use my brain next time. The only point of posting that picture was the point that IMDB is often wrong. I guess I proved that by being fooled myself....or am I just a fool? Good point about extra (uncredited) cameras on jobs as well Michael. My bad. Thanks for correcting me. I'll shut up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush took office, thus the name appeared to be less stupid at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
