The HD cameras of Cloverfield

By now you've probably heard about Cloverfield, kind of a Godzilla meets reality TV meets Blair Witch movie. The idea was to make it seems like the person shooting was actually shooting for themselves on a personal camera.

As it turns out, much of it was shot on a Sony CineAlta, one of two or three high-end cameras good enough for "film," but they also used an HVX200 and a Panasonic HDAVC model (both of which I happen to own). That's pretty cool stuff! There's a brief article in HD Magazine.

Here is one of the cameras they used to film Cloverfield. The bidding has since ended. It comes with the invoice from Paramount Pictures.

Is it sad that when I read that a few days ago, I immediately thought of you?
