Very sad to see that the single most-utilized film camera in the history of the American motion picture and television industry, not even mentioned. That would be the Mitchell BNC. Additionally, this company also made the intermittent movements for the three-strip Technicolor cameras and the horizontal transports used for VistaVision cameras. In 1952 George Michell was awarded an Academy statuette for 'the design of the camera that bears his name.' The company deserves to be remembered in entertainment technology history.
it's sad that some good content creators have very few subs and views.
Thanks for your comment
Would love to see more about what movie cameras where used in the 70s like taxi driver and the cameras used on the 90s the romantic comedies
The Sony Venice "J" Camera has help innovated with its smaller sized used in 2022's Highest grossing movie Avatar:The Way Of Water & Top Gun:Maverick .
DV Mini is of interest- thanks!
Yes
There could be palm size cinema camera in future..
No mention of George Mitchell and his 35 mm Motion Picture Cameras that supplied the film industry with what most major movies were shot on for decades ?
If it were up to me I would revise and expand this video with a few additions.
The Bell and Howell 2709 revolutionized movie camera engineering and built Hollywood from the mid silent era onward, at least into the 1980s.
Today they are associated mostly with old 8mm cameras but this company laid the engineering foundation for the modern cinematography and they began before the First World War.
Bell and Howell also designed an accurate film perforator (which punched sprocket holes used to move and locate the film during a take and became used by Eastman Kodak, Agfa and other film stock manufacturers) that together with their model 2709 camera gave absolutely rock steady pictures. The slap-gate movement from this camera was too noisy for talkies but formed the basis of optical effects printing used for visual effects until replaced by digital methods in the 90s. Bell and Howell also developed the continuous contact printer that enabled much faster bulk film printing (for cinema intermediates and release prints), then went on to adapt this for optical sound printing then went on the develop their additive color lamp house which revolutionized how motion pictures were colour corrected. Motion picture cinematography is not only about cameras. Ultimately it's about what gets seen.
The Mitchell BNC, BNCR and Mitchell Standard were the mainstay of Hollywood in the 1930s until the 70s.
They were the cameras that made Hollywood sound pictures possible and shrunk the soundproof camera booth (a small portable soundproof room with a window that could accommodate a camera operator and an assistant but pretty much killed camera moves) into a case around the camera called a 'blimp'. I can't understand why Mitchell didn't rate a mention.
Where is are the 2 colour and 3 strip Technicolor cameras that finally brought shockingly realistic colour to a black and white cinema? It's hard to imagine the impact of these on audiences stunned by the beauty of "The Wizard of Oz" or "Gone With the Wind. "
No mention of Arnold and Richter's Arriflex which introduced spinning mirror single lens reflex viewfinder which later became adopted by most movie camera after the war. Today I understand that most film and digital motion picture cameras in use are made by Arri, especially the Arri Alexa (which is discussed).
This company began making movie cameras in 1917.
No mention of the remarkable history of French movie cameras after Lumiere, including the Debrie Parvo family which was the mainstay in Europe and the Eclair CM3, NPR and ACL which introduced fast interchangeable magazines and the idea that a handheld camera could be more steady and less fatiguing if balanced on the shoulder rather than held in front of the operator's face. Also worth a mention here are the Aaton 16 and 35 film cameras.
Where is CinemaScope, Todd AO or Panavision?
As for video camera where are the ancient image orthicon style B+W cameras that enabled early TV and the plumbicon / vidicon video cameras that reduced the TV camera size and weight to something that could be hand held for electronic news gathering and field production?
With respect, there really is a much more fascinating history here.
Your version is extensive and informative. Thank you.
Nice Information.
Glad you find it nice.
🇮🇳❤️💥
Film is still in use.Imax70 mm and panavision 35mm film.real film not film looks by digital
Thanks for your information
IMAX is 65mm projected in 70mm and yes film is still used today, but most productions wanna use digital for speed, because you can slap it from a SD card straight to a hard drive or straight from the SSD to the computer. But true cinema is on film.
@@JanWilliamsBailey latest jamesbond shot in imax film.and they use practical effects i just saw the behind the scene
IMAX DIGITAL CAMERA WILL BE THE NEXT CHANGE INCINEMA CAMERAS with 120mm cmos censor
1900s camera: huge complex machine now: p h o n e
Sadly today standard is digital just to mimic film look.
Ultimately digital is the way to go. But we still love the "film" view
@@camerazone_ true. Film movies is OBSOLETE as it is hard to take care and maintain
8:07 that’s not even the right camera. Plus you totally forgot about the Panavision Genesis & F series from Sony.
Thanks for your input
JESUS IS COMING SOON
Yes, but he might be a little late
This Sunday at the civic center!
