With Technicolor no longer processing film, I wonder how Nolan will get this film finished the way he prefers (photochemically)

Panavision? I could see him doing some stuff in IMAX as well.

I was watching a featurette on the Blu-Ray for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and I saw then using 435s for some high-speed shots and they mainly did it handheld/Steadicam. But from what I understand, the 435 wasn't designed for handheld/Steadicam and/or is too heavy for that purpose.

Those were shot w/anamorphic lenses though. Although then again, the third one was shot on the F35, which has a 3-Perf sized sensor.

There are some slo-mo shots in the film, would he happen to know what camera was used for that?

Couldn't have said it better on both counts, especially regarding Carrey. I honestly think this is his best performance so far period.

Does Epic Dragon do 120 fps in ANA mode?

120 fps am I correct?

I know I'm probably alone, but I actually prefer this film to the first one. I just thought when someone like Dave's father died, you actually felt bad for him. As opposed to Big Daddy's death where I felt it was very cheesy. This was lensed by Tim Maurice-Jones and used Arri Alexa Studio/Plus cameras with Zeiss Master Primes, Angenieux Optimo lightweight zooms, and Fujinon Alura studio zooms. There are some slo-mo shots but I don't know what they used for that. Surprisingly, not only did Henry Jackman return as a composer, but Asa Shoul from Molinare returns as colorist.

True. But does the original Epic (not the Dragon) have high speed capabilities in ANA mode?

No, I mean, what kind of VFX work would one use the Epic for?

What do you mean by VFX work?

Couldn't they just use the Arri Alexa M instead of switching over to an entirely different camera system? Also, is it possible to match Alexa and Epic in post?

How could they reframe if they're using anamorphic lenses? Or was that just you telling me another use of the Epic?

Don't people usually use compact zooms to fill in for a number of primes? In which case the only Leica Summilux focal length that would be used is the 100mm. But I'm probably wrong.

But why would someone use two different camera systems other than for size and/or HFR?

iMDB is not to be believed because I wrote that. Don't ask me why.

I think that'll probably end up being the case.

While you can't see what lens they're using, this image clearly shows the cameraman holding an Arri Alexa Plus. Wheras this image shows a camera with a Red Pro monitor which from my understanding, can only be used with the Red Epic. The lens is labeled "E100" making me think that it's a Panavision E-Series anamorphic prime, which Trent Opaloch used on Elysium with the Red Epic as well. Now, Marvel seems to want to keep the workflow of their films streamlined by using the Codex Vault. And while the Codex Vault does accept footage from the Epic, Marvel Studios' senior vice-president of production Bruce Markoe stated that they bought both Codex Vaults and Recorders/Capture Drives (which makes no sense since they're bound to become obsolete in a few years when Codex comes out with something more advanced, oh...wait...they already did)

Was it the B-Roll footage? I have to take a second look at that.

Anybody know what zooms, if any, they used on this? All I know is that they used the Leica Summilux primes for a lot of it.

Wow, I really need to start elaborating and stop being so vague. I was actually referring to the cost of renting them. Sorry.

Absolutlely, although I believe that both can be done.

Thanks for the info.

I read in another thread that both this and the PV HD video tap suffer from light loss, is this true?
