Transformers 5 will be shot on 8k S35 Helium (Custom)

[Curran Giddens]

The "big dog" cameras have truly been optimized for their design desires, wants, and needs. Ours are still the swiss army knife in terms of rigging and compactness.

With OMODs we will be able to get many of the same features too.

Aside from getting a jump on the new sensor, nothing else on the Bayhem camera cannot be had by any common user. The accessories desired by Bay are just encased with a custom outer shell making it look fancy. It's still a Weapon brain inside there, just like Xenomorphs or Millennium DXL's.

If we all had our own CNC mills, we could do the same thing to our own bodies.

Exactly, Bay just loves custom stuff and handles even back in film times.

Jarred has an interesting T-Shirt in the Cinema 5D article. Not sure if anyone was paying attention.

Phew, i'm not alone!

So what do you think the chances are that Helium has duel native ISOs like the Varicam LT?

 

[Antony Newman]

In order for a Helium pixel (3.65 um) to be 'Better' than a Dragon pixel (5 um), I would guess an increase in excess of 2.7dB SNR per unit area on the sensor.

I would speculate that >= ISO 3750 is the new ISO 2000.

With a hypothetical stop of additional SNR - I doubt the (backwards?) step to analogue gain circuits (of the LT?) is likely.

Absolutely insane.

On a side note, does anyone know what battery is on the back of that in the 2nd picture?

Brian:

Those batteries are Sony BP-FL75. Made for the F55 series cameras. I use them in my underwater housings because they are V-lock but don't stick up higher than the camera like most previous V-locks.

Also they are a new lithium technology (olivine) which is supposed to give twice the number of cycles as regular lithium and are supposed to be a safer technology, also they fast charge in an hour with the Sony charger.

Jarred has been using some for a while and they are on the list of tested batteries for weapon that they put out on Reduser somewhere, a little while back.

Take a look at Transformers Chevy Beat car colour

That was a ruse to keep Helium a secret

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

The IMAX Camera and technology that they are referring to in this video is the one based on the Alexa 65, right? At least that's what I think I saw in some of those shots. Or is it the dual Phantom 65 version?

I know it's a marketing thing, but why not shoot the whole thing on the same 3D Setup, whether RED or Arri? Bay sure likes to use a load of different cameras for his movies.

IMAX is the recording method/device I think. it's not camera specific.. in this video by NASA they are shooting on a C300 and DSLRS.

Thanks for the Info. I only read about the camera projects that they had going with Arri and the Phantom Version, but never found more info about what actually makes those cameras different than the original ones.

Can't wait to watch it!
