Zodiac filmed in Digital edited in FCP. Say What!

[Sven]

Just thought i'd start a topic on "Zodiac". just found out it is the first feature length motion picture filmed on the Thompson Viper Filmstream camera, all digital and edited on Final Cut Pro. 9.2 million pixel frame transfer. Shoots 4:4:4. Native 16x9 plus shoots 1080p and 720p at 23.98, 24, 25, 20.97, 50 and 59.94fps. Wow!

I don't think its the first feature length film filmed with the viper. But, I do know it was the first feature length film to be shot all uncompressed HD, 4:4:4 He didn't use tape at all, everything he shot went straight into a computer. Here's the article from this months Film Maker magazine:

I heard that Michael Mann really likes to use the Vipercam.

Here's the technical aspects of
Collateral (un poco Viper)
Miami Vice(almost all Viper)
