Apocalypto

February 21, 2008 by paul

We watched this last night – well worth watching, but I don’t want to say too much about the plot besides the fact that Mel Gibson is still obsessed with brutality. :)

The image was really… interesting. When it moved slowly, it looked very good – excellent detail, decent good shadows, but it didn’t feel ‘perfect’. And when things moved fast (there’s a battle scene fairly early on) it stopped looking like a film entirely. I leaned over to Crump and asked, “Does this look odd to you?”

Crump said, “Yes…”

I said, “I think this might have been shot on digital…”

And lo and behold, it was shot with a Panasonic Genesis camera (which was used for Superman Returns and a few other big budget films). They still have a way to go for me to be comfortable with the look – fast moving objects don’t blur in the same way that I’ve become accustomed to. It’s not bad, it’s just different. Maybe people will think that film looks ‘wrong’ in 20 years time?
