Heineman: We mainly shot Cartel Land with the Canon C300. The camera was dropped, smashed, hit by guns, in dust storms, pelted by torrential rain and it never, ever failed. Given the situations we were in, I kept the camera very small: body, lens, Schoep's CMIT 5 Shotgun Microphone, and a Diety Miera viewfinder (which was a must given the bright sunshine we were constantly shooting in).
This is a section of an interview. Matthew replied that he mainly used Canon C300 for shooting and praised the C300. "However, during the shooting, the camera was thrown, crushed and shot through by bullets. It was wet by heavy rain but the C300 never disappointed me."
Then he introduced his other equipment, respectively. It's Schoeps' CMIT 5 microphone, Diety Miera viewfinder.
For 98% of the film, we used two lenses: the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 and Canon 24-105mm f4. We also traveled with the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 and 2x extender for b-roll. For some specialty shots, we used the Canon 7D (timelapse and car mounting), the Canon 1DC (drone), and the Astroscope adapter for night vision.
98% of the movies he used Canon 17-55 2.8 lens and Canon 24-105 f4 lens. At the same time they used 70-200 f2, 8 and 2X teleconverters for behind-the-scenes highlights. For some special shooting, Canon 7D (stop-motion shooting and assembly in the car), Canon 1DC as the aerial camera equipment, and Astroscope night vision adapter lens.
If you need more shooting information, please soy oil me and I will add it in time.
Because this interview is not short, but it is very helpful for documentary fans and workers.
