Film camera and Lens used for
'Red Notice'
DP Markus Förderer: "Whenever I'm trying to determine the best format to shoot a project on, I always start with the lens before picking a camera. At Panavision I saw the vintage Panatars, which Robert Richardson had used for The Hateful Eight. These lenses were the perfect fit to capture the large-format look. They create gentle skin tones with natural high resolution, and are reminiscent of the classic anamorphic look." About the camera, he adds: "Because the lenses have a 1.25x squeeze, they're very subtle in their anamorphic quality, and it's beneficial to have a wider sensor like the Red Ranger Monstro 8K".
CAMERAS
Red Monstro
The RED Monstro 8K is part of the 2018 unified DSMC2 lineup and is designed to be built up the way you want, to tell your story in almost any way possible. The MONSTRO 8K full-frame sensor boasts up to 17 stops of dynamic range and can record the full image circle of full-frame 35mm lenses. You can also use Super35 lenses with a windowed capture area for high frame rate recording. Sitting in front of the full-frame sensor is an interchangeable PL mount. This way you can use industry-standard cinema lenses right out of the box or exchange the mount to use alternative photo and video lenses.
LENSES
Panavision Ultra Panatar
Panavision Ultra Panatar lenses capture a soft, glamorous, classic-looking image with a 1.3x anamorphic squeeze ratio that produces the artistic qualities associated with anamorphic lenses while using more capture area with modern digital sensors. Ultra Panatar lenses focus with cylindrical components, accentuating the anamorphic look much more than an anamorphic lens with spherical mechanisms.
The elliptical bokeh has been manipulated to look like that of a higher compression ratio lens. Ultra Panatars fit any camera that can accommodate Panavision’s System 65 camera mount.
