Feature Length BTS Of A Multi Academy Award Winning Film Shot On A Camera You Can Now Buy For £2K

At the 2010 Academy Awards, The Social Network was nominated for eight Oscars and won three of them.

It was shot on the at the time newly released MX version of the RED ONE, a camera that you can now readily pickup in a full kit including EVF, batteries and media for around £2K.

There are a boatload of different options available now so, of course, I'm not suggesting you rush out and buy one but, nonetheless, this is an interesting time capsule of how it was no hindrance to making a very successful film then and likely wouldn't be now either if you did fancy buying one.

Just make sure you budget for a decent tripod.

And budget for several lighting trucks. 

And budget for a six figure sound package. 

And budget for all the crew, and actors. And feeding them. 

And budget for all the locations.

Yiiiikes, that doco starts out harsh

"There is no reason this shot ever has a boom shadow", the director shouts while pointing an angry finger at the Boom Op. 

Poor guy

Fascinating, they used hardwired booms! 😮 Shows how very old this is. 

I guess the Lectrosonics UH400 had only came out about six years beforehand.

Funnily enough, I was mocked on here not so long ago for suggesting any of that trivial shit was required so I was keeping it simple.

Not to mention being in keeping with the other thread on here about making a "real" movie with a cheap camera.
