Just saw “days” and “weeks” recently. Both solid films, the first being the best, but not by a huge margin. Anticipating “years”.
28 Decades Later will be shot in 13:1 surround vision, captured on the director’s watch. And still win twenty awards.
Isn’t this just an upgraded Matrix rig?
Its a downgraded one
Exactly:
« Boyle says the 20-phone setup helped them create “poor man’s bullet time.” »
Poor man’s? Those things cost more than what they originally used in the matrix. That’s rich man’s bullet time.
Even if you buy them used? Idk
Yeah, they were using Nokias back then
Is that true?
No just a joke they use Nokias throughout the series because its a late 90’s/early 00s film
I feel bad for the people having to carry that setup.
Pretty lightweight compared to the traditional alternative, no?
Boyle uses low budget guerilla film techniques for feature films sometimes. 28 Days was the first feature shot on consumer tape cameras, Canon X1 I think, and they compensated by using a lot of them at once.
Most expensive scene was an empty bridge in London at 5:30AM, IIRC, and they only had a few minutes to pull it off. Lots of cheap cameras gives you options, if you can work with resolution and lens and colourspace issues.
I’ve always wondered how such a moderately budgeted movie pulled off the empty bridge
Knowing which palms to grease cuts costs significantly
