    For real? Why?

    source
    • TachyonTele@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Too bad there’s no article that immediately explains why…

      Price/performance ratio usually

      Cheaper to get 20 iPhones on a custom rig vs some other solution

      And you can just sell them for 80% of purchase value after 😀

        It’s literally explained in the article that 80% of commenters here clearly didn’t read

      It’s used only in certain scenes, and he said the minor shifts in perspective will be used in editing to create certain effects.

        Can’t they use better cameras to achieve the same effect?

    It’s only used for certain shots. They shot most of the movie with a single iPhone.

    What he is creating is a shifting effect where the camera moves quickly to the right and the left while the zombie is running to create this chaotic feeling while it’s sprinting.

      The Matrix originally did this to get that crazy frozen-in-the-air spin shot

        IIRC the question was, ‘can we put a camera on a rocket?’

        And then the solution was Victorian. The same shit Muybridge did for a galloping horse, one hundred and twenty years earlier.

      “My god, what’s affecting those customers?!”

      “Rage.”

    I can’t fucking wait for this film

    I just hope it’s not another super close up, motion sickness inducing, shaky-cam puke-fest like 28 Weeks was. I really wanted to like that movie but that style of action filming makes me car sick. I don’t get how people enjoy shaky-cam movies

    Sounds like absolute fucking dogshit, cool Danny Boyle invented new shakycam i can’t wait to have absolutely no idea what’s going on in these “frenetic” and “violent” scenes. That’s my favorite part of a movie, having no fucking clue what’s happening

    • LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Its not a shakicam at all. Most of the shots were just a single iphone with a 60,000$ lens attached. Other sequences had a few of the same setups at once, and others were filmed very much the same way the bullet time setup from the matrix was shot.

      You haven’t even seen it and it’s already having the desired effect.

      my favorite part is when he looks at the camera and goes “its been 28 ___ since someone called me that…. 28 ___ later…. i still dont like it…”

    That means it should have some sick original Matrix style slow-mo shots, right? 😃

    I’ll be in the Teather to see the 20-iPhone camera set-up.

    28 Decades Later will be shot in 13:1 surround vision, captured on the director’s watch. And still win twenty awards.
