FILMING TECHNOLOGY
[edit]Why can't someone who knows put a small category on type cameras and film used. I think these were studio 16mm? Arriflex? Not sure. Anyone have this information?--2603:8090:1300:F468:106A:8D20:C8D9:48D5 (talk) 09:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- I can't say with authority exactly which brand of camera was used, but I am confident that production used 35mm film. Lost In Space was a high budget series. At that time 35mm was the standard for such productions. Even Star Trek was shot on 35mm, and it was produced on a much smaller budget. It's also safe to expect that they didn't use Arriflex. Here's a fan site with some production photos: https://www.iann.net/lis/behindscenes/gallery/ There are a few pics of cameras in use. They're quite large, definitely not Arriflex. I think probably they used Mitchell cameras. Mitchells were very sturdy and had excellent registration of the sprocket perforations during film transport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.102.146.203 (talk)
- Indeed, I believe you are correct, they appear to be blimped Mitchell 35mm studio cameras. In those days, cameramen were often called upon to do repairs, and were intimately familiar with their Mitchells. A number of cameramen were amateur machinists, and they would construct required mounting equipment for the blimps and cameras and also adapt random lenses found around the studio to fit the Mitchell blimp. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:24 (talk) 00:29, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
Citations
[edit]There are some more citations needed. However, the statement about numerous guest stars needing a citation is ridiculous when you look at the documented list of guest stars following immediately after the statement, which certainly qualifies as "numerous". 2600:1004:B10D:9D01:803D:4385:9F15:DF43 (talk) 00:02, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- It's the individual claims, not the numerosity, that needs citation. TJRC (talk) 00:06, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
