So shaky cam confirmed?

So shaky cam confirmed?

Not when you look at that tripod

 

[Tams]

If you're going to attach it to rigs like that, why?

Just use a normal, decent camera.

If budget is the concern and hiring Alexas or REDs is too much, Sony have great choice and Blackmagic very good cheap cameras.

That violence and gore thread just made me think of one of the opening scenes in the Sequel where they have the zombie strapped down. I just remember it being super gory and a little unsettling.

I'll have to rewatch it.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Totally off topic but my phone can take photos in jpg, raw and super raw. Video can be shot up to 8k @24fps. What the hell is super raw?

Give it to me super raw baby

I love how they are sticking with the 28 _____ Later sequence

28 Days Later
28 Months Later
28 Years Later

28 Decades Later might be cool, but I think futuristic zombie fiction is something that isn't really explored so 28 Centuries Later might be quietly the best one someday

Unfortunately 28 Years Later was announced as a trilogy, with the followup to 28 Years Later being called "28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple". Absolutely terrible name IMO.

Oh, a callback to the 480p camcorder he used in the first one. The London scenes were shot guerilla style IIRC. With that big rig, shooting won't be anything the first one. Only the final scene was shot on film. Will we even notice this new one is shot on an iPhone? I doubt it.

I wonder if apple tried to get him to have a few "Accidental" message notifications pop up so audiences would know

Maybe they'll have a scene where he gets a green bubble txt on his iPhone XXVIII he throws it to the ground in disgust then a swarm of zombies attack him and he gets eviscerated because his phone is smashed to bits and couldn't call for help.

What’s even worse is “28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple“ will be directed by Nia DaCosta of “The Marvels”

Failing upward applies to everyone....

 

[Musashipan]

I'll skip it

 

[Puscifer]

No that just a mock up.

Here is the first (and I think only) photo from the actual set.

You can see the iPhone 15 on the right - However, its on a whole entire rig. Its not like they just used a phone in their pocket to shoot the movie.

These marketing guys are frauds.

Sounds like that movie I love, tangerine. Yes it was on 3 iPhones, but 3 iPhones with a ton of gimbles and equipment

Well, we know Part 2 will flop now...

She went from making a movie funded through Kickstarter and raising about $5000, to then making the Candyman 2021 spiritual sequel with Jordan Peele to then making "The Marvels".

I've never seen someone rise so far up the ladder career wise as quick as she did. Shit has to be a record.

To be fair Spielberg only had 1-2 movie credits before Jaws (and a fair amount if TV) so it's not like you can really predict where folks will go, bit yeah, this lady ain't Spielberg.

 

[Hookshot]

this lady ain't Spielberg.

Have you seen them in the same room together?

 

[Z O N E]

I mean, he already had A LOT of stuff under his name before being given the Jaws chance and Jaws wasn't some big household name for the novel compared to the movie.

The Marvels on the otherhand is literally a big ass IP. Lol

 

[Trilobit]

I hope the sequel captures the tension of the intro sequence in 28 Weeks Later. I rewatched 28 Days Later and was surprised to see how campy it was. But that intro sequence was insanely scary.

 

[diffusionx]

iphone 15 Pro attached to $20,000 worth of equipment, wow

It was 28 Weeks Later. They skipped the months, sadly.

 

[RaduN]

....yeah, with a 100k $ + lens attached
They could have used any smartphone from the past 5 years or so, that has a good video rec bit rate and hdr.

 

[ShadowNate]

I watched 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later back to back a few days ago, and while the first one still is a great movie (bad quality of filming aside), the second one is ...oof... a very frustrating experience.

But I never did like the abuse of the shaky camera filming and that film goes to town with it and then some, for minutes at a time. It can get to "movie ruined" levels for me.

And then also there were the complete idiot characters and the tired genre tropes throughout the plot. The opening sequence was cool though. And the introduction of the island where the rebuilding was happening. It prepared the viewer for a much greater experience before taking a nose dive as soon as "the kids do something incredibly stupid and they get away with it" nonsense is employed.

I hope this new one does something more interesting.

 

[BadBurger]

Damn. I remember like a decade ago two film directors got into a Twitter fight because one asked the other "So, was this shot on the 6 or 6 Pro?".

And now here we are.

[Bashtee]

It looks like they're strapping a cinema lens on top of an iphone. But why? The iphone image sensor is tiny compared to a full-frame sensor and now the images they shoot will have to go through two different lens systems before they reach the sensor in the IPhone.

Camera and film people come up with the coolest looking shit. All of that looks more sci-fi than anything else.

 

[BlackTron]

I'm out.

if you cant afford to buy a real camera for your movie, im not paying for it either. Wont stream it for free because my time is more precious than whatever money they saved.

They may have spent more on all the stuff bolted on to the iPhone to make it a movie camera than they would on a movie camera.

But then Apple helped pay for all that so

 

[Days like these...]

The biggest camera sensor currently available on smartphones is 1" and only Chinese phones have those. That's why theirpictures and video are better than the phones we get in the west they should have gone with one of those but then again those companies werent going bankroll this film. I just hope it's a good movie
