 The
significantly larger 65mm film format – which has lately been used on
several films including "The Tree of Life", "Mission:
Impossible-Ghost Protocol", and the upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises",
among others – was again brought into action by Fraser. “The 65mm stock is
absolutely incredible and it has no rival now,” exclaims the
cinematographer. “It is simply the best format we had to work with. We used
it on certain key wide shots and second unit shots. From a technical point
of view, wide shots and resolution don’t always go hand in hand. Sometimes
the wider anamorphic lenses don’t appear to resolve the best. We found that
with a wide shot in 65mm, you get the absolute finest resolving power. Then
we would do the coverage on 35mm anamorphic, and it worked quite well.” The
large format scenes were done with Panavision’s System 65 cameras.Read full article on Kodak's page | More in 70mm reading: Super Panavision 70 "The Tree of Life" in 65mm - no 70mm prints Internet link: Kodak |
