Juxx989 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I was looking at the latest SNL skits and some of them are really high production quality... This has to be Blackmagic or Red Cameras... I doubt they use ALEXA. What do you guys think? I believe the Second one is anamorphic because of the oval bokeh. anyone know what they are using? any BTS just curious....

Inazuma Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Even collegehumour was using RED last time i looked at their BTS videos a few years ago. So yeah, its very likely SNL are too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Alex Buono is a guy to search for if you're curious about some of this. They've used arri and RED and canon 7d's. Sometimes a cast member shoots something with a friend on a dvx100 and Lorne lets it in. Since they've been going for a hundred years, and don't care if the official crew is leading the way (and even they experiment), they've used everything.

AaronChicago Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yeah Alex Buono was the DP for their shorts for a long time. I think he left last season to co-direct Documentary Now. He used to show BTS stuff on twitter. They used everything from 7D's, C300s, Alexa, RED, and actual film. The intro of the show from 2010 to 2015 was shot on a 7D. They also made custom aperture mattes to put in the camera that turned bokeh into the letters SNL. Juxx989 and Liam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
