As mentioned before, LA Times has unveiled the very first set shot, for Marvel Studio's next film, Thor. The image is a shot of director, Kenneth Branagh cheesing away at whatever the camera behind him, is facing. But my attention is to the camera.
Looking at this, SHH Forums user, "
SpiderByte", seemed to recognize the first camera, and says that it's used for 3-d filming. "SpiderByte used a pic of a 3-D camera to backup his claim, and it strangely resembles the one in the set pic. I did a little more research, and found a detailed description of the exact 3-D camera.
The description read:
"Up until now, there’s only a few high-end facilities offering 3D rigs for Red One cameras and they’re very expensive. So we set out to create a quality 3D Red system most filmmakers could afford. We’re interested in proliferating 3D production by making it accessible. The result was the 3D-BS Pro Rig, a great 3D rig for the Reds, that shoots incredible 3D at a fraction of the cost,” said company president Karl Kozak. I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, considering everything now-a-days is filmed in the gimmicky 3-D. Marvel Studios proving how smart they are with their films, hopefully this technique fits with the film, and not the other way around.
