Author Topic: Baadasss and hidef filmmaking Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 05-24-2005 04:35 PM                     I was looking at the technical specs for Baadasss and was surprised to see it was filmed using SONY HDW-F900 cameras. Probably the most convincing job someone has done in hidef to my eyes. I was actually fooled. I thought it was film when i saw it on Showtime, especially the opening motorcycle in the desert scene.  |  IP: Logged Dylan Marchetti Film Handler Posts: 27 From: New York, NY Registered: Oct 2004 posted 05-26-2005 02:23 PM                        I was lucky enough to see this on 35mm in the Magno screening room in NYC. On film, I was able to tell that it was indeed shot digitally, albeit far less so than a movie like Spy Kids or Star Wars. I will say they did a phenomenal job on the DVD- it's one of the best compression jobs I've seen in a while, and really lets the colors pop despite being from a digital source. Great movie, too...  |  IP: Logged
