Jordan Cronenweth's Gear List(1)
Panavision
Product description
The Panaflex Gold is a 35mm motion picture camera produced by Panavision, a company that manufactures equipment exclusively for rental to productions. Its near-silent operation and compatibility with Panavision's proprietary anamorphic and spherical lens systems made it a standard for Hollywood features from the 1980s onward. Christopher Nolan and many other directors continue to use Panavision equipment for productions shot on film.
Connection note
Shot Blade Runner (1982) on Panavision with anamorphic lenses, creating the film noir-inspired neon-lit aesthetic that defined the cyberpunk genre.
