It's used only in certain scenes, and he said the minor shifts in perspective will be used in editing to create certain effects.
Can't they use better cameras to achieve the same effect?
I'd assume they went this route for weight saving. Quite possibe that the end effect doesn't need cinema quality cameras either. I think he even mentioned this as like a mobile poor man's bullet time rig.
The original was shot on handycam video cameras to give it a raw feeling. Danny Boyle says he was shooting it all on iPhone to get a modern version of that.
yes
Thanks 👍
More expensive though.
Not really, you would need multiple cameras from multiple perspectives to do the same thing regardless. There is no camera of any quality that can take a picture from 5 feet to the left of where it's sitting.
