"Cloverfield" thesp T. J. Miller's handling of a lightweight Panasonic HD HandyCam accounts for about an eighth of the final film.

The film starts out with the Panasonic, then moves into transitional sequences shot with a 3-lb. Canon for about a third of the film."

Видимо, некоторые пиндосы все-таки знают. Кстати, статья на КГ - это всего лишь перевод с Variety. Не думал, правда, что сей очевидный факт потребует дополнительных объяснений.

Кстате, а если в "Экспресс-газете" завтра напишут, что снималось всё на "Красногорск", тогда каг? Тожэ верить?))))))

С сайта Sony:
...
Nick Theodorakis, digital imaging supervisor for “Cloverfield,” knew the exact production tool he needed when he signed on for the movie blockbuster that opened this past weekend.
The movie’s scenes were shot mostly at night using only a hand-held shooting style envisioned by producer J.J. Abrams. Theodorakis used Sony’s F23 camera to capture nearly all of the movie’s New York exteriors.
.....
“We needed the look of the movie to be very immediate, like ‘found footage,’ so a YouTube aesthetic was the look we were trying to achieve,” Theodorakis said. “The F23 provided latitude without sacrificing any color imagery, allowing us to stay as strict to reality as possible while generating that warm look of New York City’s streets with its sodium vapor lights.”
To mimic a Handycam® camcorder’s look and feel with the movement and image quality of a studio camera and to satisfy the tremendous visual effects demands, Theodorakis said he placed the F23 camera’s deck inside a backpack to make the shots seem more mobile.

Теперь почетаем Википедию, тож, кстате, пиндосовскую:
...
The casting process was carried out in secret, with no script being sent out to candidates. With production estimated to have a budget of $30 million, filming began in mid-June in New York.[9] One cast member indicated that the film would look like it cost $150 million, despite producers not casting recognizable and expensive actors.[7] Filmmakers used the Sony CineAlta F23 high-definition video camera to film nearly all of the New York exterior scenes.[14] Filming took place on Coney Island, with scenes being shot at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park and the B&B Carousel.[15] Some interior shots were filmed on a soundstage at Downey, California.[16] The film was shot and edited in a cinéma vérité style,[17] to look like it was filmed with one hand-held camera, including jump cuts similar to ones found in home movies. T. J. Miller who plays Hud, has said in various interviews that he filmed a third of the movie and mostly half of it made it into the movie.[18][19] Director Matt Reeves described the presentation, "We wanted this to be as if someone found a Handicam, took out the tape and put it in the player to watch it. What you're watching is a home movie that then turns into something else." Reeves explained that the pedestrians documenting the severed head of the Statue of Liberty with the camera phones was reflective of the contemporary period. According to him: "Cloverfield very much speaks to the fear and anxieties of our time, how we live our lives. Constantly documenting things and putting them up on YouTube, sending people videos through e-mail – we felt it was very applicable to the way people feel now."[20]

Вот ещо нашол. Под замечательным подзаголовком Rumors smashed))))

.....

For those who've seen the unique monster movie Cloverfield, you know that the story is supposed to have been shot by the aptly-named character "Hud" with a cheapo handheld consumer camera. You know, something you could grab at Best Buy next weekend, use once and forget about forever. Convincing the audience of that point was one of the movie's most successful angles, since much of the film (yes, a few other cameras were used, too) was really shot on Sony's flagship, absolute top of the line CineAlta HD camera, the F23.

It's a 1080p camera that shoots anywhere from 1P to 60P a second, so 24P shooting (the exact framerate of film) is no problem. As for what it records to...the movie claims the video was captured on an SD card.

That's not quite the case, since such a puny card could never write an uncompressed 4:4:4 (full color space) image in real time. Instead, filmmakers probably used Sony's SRW-1, which can hook directly to the camera to allow both easy shooting and recording speeds of 110MB/sec (versus an SD card's 20MB/sec).

А вот ЭТУ статейку советую прочитать полностью, поскольку тут ЯВНО указывается на ошибки Энн Томпсон из Вэрайети:

Ok, enough messing around…while the Sony F23 WAS in fact used for much of the filming, there may actually be some truth to the camcorder rumors. Officially, Cloverfield was sourced with a mix of the F23, Grass Valley’s Viper and a few “handheld and intermediate cameras.” This article in Variety references a “lightweight Panasonic HD HandyCam” (can you say HVX200?) used for 1/8th of the film, and a “3-lb. Canon” used for about a third of the film. So perhaps Best Buy figured in there somewhere. UPDATE: Videography has a feature article on the production process, apparently the HVX was used quite a bit, and the F23 and Viper mainly for VFX shots (of which there were plenty).

“The HVX 200-shot images could look as genuine as everybody hoped, but if they weren’t robust enough to hold up to the heavy digital effects work required in post, all the realism gained would be lost. Oscar-winning character animation expert Phil Tippett’s company would be creating the CGI monster and Double Negative would create significant set extensions and backgrounds. And Banks wanted to give them the purest, cleanest images possible to start with and let them match the look of their completed shots to the lower-end footage after completing the composites. Footage from the Viper or F23, laid down to HDCam SR tape, would ensure the most flexibility possible in post and yield the most believable composites.”

Here is a Sony press release on the subject of the F23. And you can find out a lot more behind the scenes information in this extensive interview with Director Matt Reeves. Here is an interesting excerpt:

Also, in most films you have all these shots that are like a small shot here, a few seconds there, and it would all be very containable and the visual effects people would know exactly how many shots they’d be working on. But, with this film since we were doing everything in continuous takes, we’d shoot a scene and I’d ask them “How many effects shots is that?” and they’d say, “Well, we don’t know.” Instead of doing many shots, we did one long shot that would basically take in all the effects of many shots.

It was also really different for the crew, because I was having the camera operators run the cameras as unprofessionally as possible. And the focus pullers as well… focus pullers lose their job if they’re not dead on when someone walks into a room and hits their mark. I’d be saying “No! You’re too dead on! This is autofocus on a handheld consumer camera, it has to go past them, and come back.” They’d say, “Well, this is the kind of thing that gets me fired.” I told them, “Not on this movie!”

Несмотря на то, что я в цитате поставил ссылку на videography.com, ещо раз, видимо не помешает.http://www.videography.com/articles/article_15469.shtml

Canon упоминается там только в одном предложении:
...
The Viper came from Panavision's Plus 8 Digital, as did the Zeiss DigiPrimes and Canon zooms-the optics that would be subsequently used on the F23 as well.....
Вод таг.
В общем и целом, измышлегния Энн Томпсон можно смело оставлять на её совести. Тем более, что ни в одном другом издании, кроме Variety, мною не найдено не только упоминаний о "задействованных Кэннонах", но и вааще про лайтуейт хэндхелды никто ничего не писал)))))))
Поскольку люди грамотные понимают, что, к примеру, ночь снимать не обязательно снимать именно ночью (может, кст., ваще ничего не получиться)), достаточно только правильно выставить свет и грамотно подобрать фильтры))).
В опчем, каг ты говоришь:

Уж поверь опыту человека работавшего какое-то время в продакшне...)))

ОК, допускаю что Variety облажались. Но для меня это не повод втаптывать их в "Экспресс-газету" или "СПИД-инфо" . А вообще имхо тут спорить больше не о чем, поскольку фактов предостаточно, чтобы каждый для себя сделал вывод.

Delirium Tremens

дык и я о чём.))))

ну это у мну шутке такие))) не принимай близко к сердцу.

Собственно, я только это и хотел донести. Невозможно, чтоб продакшн такого уровня бюджета был исполнен на handheld'ах. К тому же, задело, что Томпсон постоянно ссылалась на Ривза, типа это он ей про Кэнноны сказал. Вот это и выбесило больше всего. В Ярославской журналистике это в порядке вещей, но колумнист такого уровня мог бы быть и пощепетильнее.
