"Least likely...."

[Robert Kurhajetz]

I don't know how common this custom is in the rest of the world but in North America we have a tradition in our high school year books in which we tag our friends and classmates with a 'Most Likely…." Or "Least Likely…" label like "Most Likely to need bail money before reaching age 21" or "Least Likely to be invited to a MENSA meeting".

Anyway I was wondering…if you had to name a prominent Director or DP that you would list as "Least Likely to ever shoot a project with a RED camera" who might that be? Just wonderng...

Is there a limit for "least likely BY A CERTAIN YEAR"? We have only seen the fruits of RED's progress in their approximately 6 or 7 years of business. We have a lot more to see of what they can develop...

 

[Mark Allen]

Oddly enough a project I directed called "The Least Likely" was the last project I shot on film... www.leastlikely.com I wish the RED had been available back then.

But to answer the question - I have a feeling Christopher Nolan will be a major hold out.

A long-term Scorsese collaborator conceded the collapse of film was “impossible to fight”.​

I'm sure there was a day when people were having this discussion on which filmmakers were least likely to shoot in color... or with sound. Not to say this is totally analogous.

Five years ago, 90% of Hollywood probably wasn't too interested in 4k+ digital acquisition. The times are changin'...

Spielberg. The day he shoots live-action digital will pretty much be the real end of film as we know it.

Totally, hasn't he just stopped using Steenbecks?

Not even that. From what I recall, Warhorse was his first film where he ATTEMPTED to use an AVID instead of Steenbeck but he didn't like it and from what I understand will return to cutting on Steenbecks for his future films. Could be wrong though.
