I still can't believe he used a super 16mm camera.

@kerplunka409 I know, and it looks fine! The picture does have a certain grittier quality, but I don't mind that. I run a film school and we use the Arri SR3 and the Canon 5Ds. I will expect more from my students from now on!

[kerplunka409]

@EFFANDJEFF a Canon 7D was also used on Black Swan (for the subway scenes, they shot with no permission)

where's your film school?

@kerplunka409 omg I just watched the movie yesterday and OMG love it!!!

but wait, why did they use a 16mm camera? and why a canon 7D? what do u mean by they shot with no permission?? :)

[kerplunka409]

@PianoGirl555 exactly, the shot with no permission in the NYC Subway!! Haha, it´s great, isn't it??? for more info, check this out the Matthew Libatique interview on alexandrosmaragos(dot)com

they shot 16mm, one because of budget limitations, but also as an artistic choice. they also shot the subway scene with a 7D because of it's small size and portability. Just imagine if you went onto a subway with a big film camera, lights and a 10 man crew, they would attract so much attention they wouldn't get anything shot, but with the 7D they are able to get in, get the shots they need and get out without attracting any attention to themselves.
