Film cameras and Lens used for
'Fantastic Beasts The Secrets of Dumbledore'
With artwork by artists Jack Dudman, Eva Kuntz, and Dermot Power providing the foundation for the film’s look, Richmond settled on a large format sensor and a return to anamorphic. "I’m a fan of the way the Alexa curve reads the image,” reveals Richmond. “The way the highlights roll off a bit easier. There’s more of a curve in the way it sees the light – a little bit more similar to film. It’s also something I'm familiar with."
