Snow White and the Huntsman

[Jarred Land]

Very cool... Love how the VFX team hid one of their Epics in the head.

 

[Erich Ocean]

They also used 4 Epics running simultaneously to capture the actors for the dwarves heads.

 

[Luc Bouvrette]

Brilliant.

 

[Brian Iannone]

I hadn't known that Snow White and the Huntsman was shot on EPIC. Off to the theater now!

 

[Jannard]

I think 65mm film and EPIC. A perfect match.

I read this a week ago ... epic aside from being a great feature camera is the "goto" vfx/sfx camera ... http://www.fxguide.com/featured/every-trick-in-the-fairytale-book-snow-white-and-the-huntsman/

[Ketch Rossi]

Very cool indeed, 65mm Film and Epic together, very cool indeed too...

 

[Joseph Hutson]

I didn't totally enjoy the movie. It seemed slow at times, but I walked away loving the visuals they had...not knowing it was shot on EPIC. Nice job, guys...

No one seems to be mentioning that the main production format was 35mm anamorphic.

Yes, Epics look like VFX cameras mostly. IMDB lists Panavision Super70 as part of it's tech specs http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735898/technical

Overall, didn't care for the movie much... but loved the anamorphic cinematography and the visual style

Epic were used primarily for VFX use on this production.

 

[Paul Ellington]

But they also hid an Epic in the Mirror-Man to shoot Charlize who was not being VFX'd. In short, The Epic can hang with 65mm Film is the final word? Pretty dope!

The epic footage was blurred and distorted to be almost unrecognizable as an image. They could have probably gone with an iPhone without any loss of quality if they didn't want to cover their bases.

In other spots of the movie the red was used and mixed with film at very high quality ... from that link I gave before ... here's some more info:

“Once the original scene lighting is programmed into the dome, we bring in the hero actor,” continues Williams. “The hero actor sits in a stationary chair (with slight head restraint) and recreates the performance that is being played back on a reference monitor. The recreated performance is recorded with four RED EPIC cameras placed strategically around the dome. The final step involves projecting the RED footage back onto a cyberscan of the hero actor’s face that has been 3D tracked back into the original scene.”
