Yes, we've had a bit of buzz about that film in the Steadicam community. It appears that they used a Sony 900 24p camera and recorded direct to an outboard hard drive. I'm curious to see it, although...

Panavision appears to be the only folks to make a mattebox that incorporates a tilted filter tray, which reflects the flares into oblivion, not down the barrel. Smart cookies, they are.
