David Fincher shooting with Viper

How are they legally able to repost that clip? I saw that some time ago when it was posted on Apple's FCP site. I believe it's an Apple production.

It's a wild web out there, isn't it?

Nah, it's just going to transform into the force.

Mourn not, miss it do not. Patience young padowan.
 
I take it your not a big Star Wars fan? Yoda references can be a bit cerebral. ;)

Hi John 'the film hater' Hudson!

:)
 
Oh, I get it now

(Film is dying, not dying but turning blue and ghosty looking ...)

Slow today

I don't hate film Elton. Just eternally happy for Digital filmmaking in my lifetime.
 
They just finished shooting parts of the Zodiac down the street from where I live (Napa, CA). Seemed like a strange location - They took over this crappy little underdeveloped, almost abandoned 'retail' area (that really needs to be bulldozed) and were shooting inside VERY SMALL buildings - a one room barber shop and a one room local bank for about one week. It's about 50 yards from the freeway, so I saw them setting up and breaking down every day.

I was always trying to get a good luck at the gear, but couldn't. I had no idea he was using the Viper. That's very cool news.

I asked one of the guys on set about the schedule and he said they were in Napa for five days, on to Reno for 10...Not sure if that's the entire schedule, but still, sounds like the beauty of digital to me!
 
Hopefully Fincher does a better job of showcasing the Viper. Michael Mann certainly didn't make a good case for it.

The only thing missing from Digital is the slight sense of mystery and happy accidents that film can invoke. Telecine felt like some kind of birthing process that you just don't get with video technology...but it's a nostalgic notion at best.

35mm cost me dearly to shoot when I was in film school, but given the choice today there is absolutely no reason to learn on film. It was an expensive canvas to make mistakes with. And to this day all I have to show for it is my negative and a DV master copy of the finished product.

he already has, he's shot a bunch of commercials with the viper for a few years now and they all look amazing. He's hasn't used film since Panic Room, in fact he wanted to shoot Panic Room digitally and Sony said no. Since then he grabbed a Viper and didn't look back.
 
i worked on this project in San Francisco and in L.A.. It was pretty amazing. One night we shot in the Tenderloin with one 10 k light up., Rain birds working and Jake Gyllenhaall did 72 takes of one shot. He was pissed. It was a run down the street in the rain, no dialogue. He and David did not get along.....
 
Directors Label (or any other) should do a "Work of director..." kind of thing with comercial directors too. I'd love to see David Finchers' early stuff...him and a bunch of other cool comercial directors.
