Speaking of LA, it reminds me of a Documentary called Side be Side produced by Keanu Reeves.
I’m sure many of you may have seen it. it’s about the changing technology in the film industry.
It couldn’t be more LA, as Reeves interviews some of the top film makers in the biz.
Scorsese, Cameron, Fincher, Soderbergh, Lucas and more.
I enjoyed watching the film but one thing caught my eye.
The camera they were shooting with.
It looked to be a low priced fixed lens 1/3 chip camera. Maybe the HPX250
Huh??????????
No Red? No Alexa?
This wasn’t some cut away camera, it was the A camera.
It baffled me. The whole film is about some of the best camera’s in the world yet they were shooting with this lower end camera.
I’m sure Reeves has more money and Hollywood access than anybody that would post on a site like this.
He could get any camera he wanted.
But it occurred to me, it didn’t really matter what kind of camera he used.
He told the story well. Whatever he was using
We like to focus on equipment and that’s cool but try to catch that film if you get a chance.
Kind of puts things into perspective $
