Types of Cameras used in Film Production
ARRI Cameras and Films
uWith over 100 years under their belt, ARRI has continued to set the standard for cinematic filmmaking. Used from the ’20s through the ’40s, it was only after WWII that ARRI took off in popularity, and Americans eventually got their hands on the compact ARRIFLEX 35 film cameras they had heard so much about. By the ’60s and ’70s, many directors breaking studio norms were turning to ARRIFLEX 35 cameras. The ARRIFLEX 35 BL was used by Martin Scorsese on Taxi Driver and Raging Bull.
uIn the ’90s, the ARRIFLEX 435 and 535 models were the next massive camera hits. These two cameras went on to capture films like Star Wars: Episode I, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Fifth Element, Hot Fuzz, and The Avengers.uBy 2000, the ARRICAM went on to shoot films like Children of Men, Munich, Brokeback Mountain, Casino Royale, The Departed, and a collection of Harry Potter films.
uThat brings us to the 2010s, when ARRI released the first ALEXA, their new digital camera. The ALEXA line continues to be the industry standard, capturing modern blockbusters like Rogue One, The Revenant, Arrival, The Jungle Book, Creed, and nearly every film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

RED Cameras and Films

uIn 2015, RED released the DSMC2 system. The DSMC2 brain is available with several sensor types: Monstro 8K VV, Helium 8K S35, Gemini 5K S35, and Dragon-X 5K S35.
uRED have been used on major motion pictures, particularly to capture VFX-heavy sequences.

Panavision Cameras and Films
uIn 1953, Panavision started as a company focused on creating anamorphic lenses. The company expanded into general motion picture equipment, primarily focused on cameras and lenses.
uIn 1972, Panavision introduced the Panaflex 35mm camera. It was an instant hit — subsequent models went on to shoot Rocky, Back to the Future, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Golden Eye, Batman Returns, and L.A. Confidential. In the ’90s, Panavision released the Millennium camera series, which went on to capture films like The Sixth Sense, Donnie Darko, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and X-Men.
