does anybody know where I can find bts footage of Hollywood movies?

I see China Lanterns! haha

Thanks that was really informative.

Yes, Robert Richardson uses china balls. He used it at least twice more in the film according to the pictures in the December 2011 edition of American Cinematographer magazine. I'm sure they were used even more than that though. Likely 36" or larger chinese lanterns.

I have a friend who also uses them like they are spacelights on a major television series. They are extremely useful. Check out the capsule china balls too, they are easier to wrap with gels if need be!

This kind of thing is unfathomably instructive. I wish there was a resource of bts footage like this, no music on top, no quick snippets of a certain part; just a birds eye view if you will, of an entire scene as it's shot from beginning to end.

I love stuff like this.

Lol'ed real hard when the operator let lose at the end. Kudos!
