Creating a Hollywood horror movie without fearing the horrors of an unusual camera setup for this kind of production? The creators of “The Possession Of Hannah Grace” had the guts to employ a Sony a7S II (a bunch of them) full-frame mirrorless camera for their feature film. This is a Hollywood first! BG Image credit: izayah ramos | unsplash.com If you’re not into super scary horror movies (I am not.. at all!), the headlining movie of this post, “The Possession Of Hannah Grace”, isn’t for you. But, since the whole movie was shot on a Sony a7S II –along with slick lenses and a lot of accessories–, this might be an interesting development for future productions. Hollywood vs. Small Cameras The Sony a7S II is a very capable camera. It’s tiny, yet sports a full-frame 4K sensor, offers Slog 2 and 3 and an incredible low light performance. And it’s relatively cheap in comparison of many other full-fledged digital cinema cameras. In conjunction with Vantage Hawk 65 anamorphic lenses, the crew was able to pull off amazing shots on a budget. See the trailer below but mind you: It’s super scary and definitely not for everyone: We’re still talking about a Hollywood movie here. So even though the crew was working on a somewhat tight budget, the actual camera setup doesn’t look very low-budget. That’s mainly because the giant Hawk 65 anamorphic lenses and a varitey of outboard monitors, wireless transmitters and lens controls. Can you spot the Sony a7S II?...
