Title: Swingers shot with an XL1???
Post by: SoNowThen on December 22, 2003, 01:02:48 PM
I read this in Moviemaker...

it was an article on digital features, and they talked about Full Frontal, and the Spy Kids movies, and Dancer In The Dark, and on their list they had Doug Liman shooting Swingers with an XL1. Now, Swingers always looked kinda shitty, but film shitty, y'know? If this is true that he used this camera, then fuck it, I'm doing a feature next year with the thing...

Nah, that was 35, baby! Or super16 at best. I don't think the XL-1 was even released when they made it.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't shoot a feature with it...

IMDb says 35: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0117802/technical

The magazine just fucked up, they were referring to this movie: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0284534/

Edit: It's sad that I found that in about 5 seconds. I should work for a damn magazine, dammit!

It says 35mm, but I'm pretty sure it was super-16.
