The Unique Camera Technology of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

A customized camera support and recording package had to be built to meet the unique form factor demands of the Slumdog shoot. Pille Film of Wiesbaden, Germany created a custom solution which included a gyro stabilizer for the base of the SI-2K Mini. Instead of using the traditional film-style camera body, they elected to use Apple Mac book Pro notebook, running Windows XP, for the recorders, and built them into ruggedized backpacks, to be worn inconspicuously.
Uli Fischer of Pille Film discloses more tricks and details at eDIT 12. Filmmaker's Festival.

eDIT 12th Filmmaker’s Festival

eDIT The Filmmaker’s Festival is an international platform for filmmakers from all
production disciplines to meet and share ideas.
The goal is to advance specific parts of the production process with a common
purpose of creating better storytelling through understanding. Exceptional worldwide
filmmakers present their work to educate, entertain and inspire their fellow artists in a
warm and personal state of the art environment.
eDIT The Filmmaker’s Festival is all about the process of filmmaking in the digital age.
We keep an eye on all of the changing technology whilst never forgetting that it is the
artist who paints the canvas.
Also the challenges of this evolution are never excluded: the “Digital Dilemma” lies
within the rapid change of formats and the fleeting nature of data in the modern age.
The festival program offers a wide range of presentations and panels on visual effects,
animation, cinematography, editing and other - production areas for film, television
and commercials. eDIT The Filmmaker’s Festival is proud to have as its presenting
partners the American Cinema Editors (A.C.E.) and the European Federation of
Cinematographers (IMAGO). The eDIT 12th Filmmaker’s Festival takes place from 4th
– 6th October 2009 in Frankfurt.
