Comments for VINTAGE MOVIE CAMERA FOR FILM PRODUCTION? »
Posted By samlongoria 1 year ago in Arts & EntertainmentA classic 1926 Mitchell studio camera is an antique. Could it still be used, in today's modern film production?
Yes, and in fact, many are. No modern movie camera is more precise than those early pin-registered film movements. They really knew how to build them in 1926, and the cameras still work, millions of feet of film later.
There is much recent talk about new digital movie cameras. Filmmakers line up at seminars and shows, just to see one. Nevertheless, digital cameras still only provide 6% of the footage for feature movies. 94% of movies still are on film.
