DEFINITION’S CAMERA LISTINGS
BASED ON:
Every film that Stefan Ciupek has worked on featured cameras systems that were brought in to do a specific job for that movie. The choice was not just based on the look the camera could produce. For Guns Akimbo , the Red Monstro 8K camera ticked a number of boxes. “I’m always looking for the new things out there,” he explains. “First, I look at ergonomics, especially for a fast action movie where the camera is never going to stand still. I knew the camera was going to be rigged and mounted to ridiculous places, so I needed a small camera, but I also wanted to shoot large format.” Ciupek had a very particular look in mind for Daniel Radcliffe’s character, Miles. “I wanted a very wide look for him, a kind of immersive experience for his journey through the story. But I didn’t want it to feel like it’s a wide-angle lens.” He adds: “That’s the great thing about large format, you can shoot very wide and the distortion you get is much more interesting than on Super 35. You still get the focus fall-off, so you see more of your set and are physically close to the actor.” DOP Stefan Ciupek needed a fast-capture camera for the hectic action movie, Guns Akimbo ACTION RED DSMC2 MONSTRO 8K
