born into brothels shot on...

[c.g._eads]

...what?

some sort of digital video camera. not sure which.

 

[BLUESPIDER]

I think it was sony Hi8. Not sure, but maybe a google search?

i've tried a google search. I asked the same question while back and someone responded saying it was shot with a sony. I believe they said sony-pd150.

On another thread someone said they new one of the filmmakers and was going to get some info. but i haven't seen anything posteda about it.

 

[c.g._eads]

that's too bad. i thought it looked pretty darned good. I'd love to know the answer.

Pantagraph.com (last paragraph)

"Though only Briski appears onscreen, with co-director Kauffman wielding the high-definition video camera used to shoot everything..."

 

[c.g._eads]

this sounds like people who don't know the difference between high-definition and high school. This film was shot 6 or 7 years ago. Would portable high-def even have been available then? And if so, wouldn't it have been ridiculously expensive?

oh no, Neil is a mod now? there goes the neighborhood...... lol, just kidding buddy. Cool to see.

Yeah, in the bonus features there are some production stills and you can see they are using wither a pd100 or a trv900. I'd say it was the pd100. Great flick by the way
