Full Onfilm Article on Peter Jackson’s “Crossing”
Published by Matthew Jeppsen July 29th, 2007 in Art, Cameras, News
RED 23 blog has a link to the full Onfilm “PJ and the Mysterium Chip Affair” article (PDF link) that talks about his test shoot with the Red Digital Cinema beta cameras. It’s a nice long writeup including pretty pictures and a lot of shoot-related snippets of info that I hadn’t read yet. Like the following quote:
“The shoot went largely without a hitch, except for the footage shot from the helicopter on the first day, all of which was lost due to the hard drives not being able to withstand the vibrations (and issue the solid state RED RAM will overcome). The problem was solved by running the maximum length of cable possible from the camera to the drive, which was placed in the helicopter’s cabin, and having someone lie on the floor to nurse the drives through the shot.”
The entire article is full of nuggets like that one, and a lot of FCP related info on the post side of the production. A fantastic look at one of the early triumphs of a new era in digital cinema.
(Thanks for the heads up, Ajit!)
