Sundance Film Festival

By Michael Goldman

One of the earliest adopters of the Arriflex D-20 film-style digital camera for a major feature film this past year was cinematographer Reinhart Peschke, who shot a film debuting at Sundance called Captain Abu Raed, which was produced and filmed entirely in the nation of Jordan using the D-20 for writer-director Amin Matalqa. Peschke worked with Arriflex Munich and GigaPix Studios of Chatsworth, Calif., to develop a workflow for recording images from three D-20s directly to hard drives, and in the process, overcame a number of technical challenges while shooting in Jordan. Peschke recently spoke with millimeter Senior Editor Michael Goldman about those challenges. Listen to part of their conversation by clicking the link below and be sure to check out the September/October 2007 issue of millimeter for a detailed story on the making of the movie. Millimeter Senior Editor Michael Goldman asks the questions.
