![]() ![]() There’s a wonderful interview with director Gareth Edwards in the latest TOTAL FILM magazine, and he says one of the most astute things I’ve heard (paraphrasing) about present-day filmmaking – as someone who has directed the smallest DIY movie (MONSTERS) as well as the biggest studio pictures (GODZILLA, SW ROGUE ONE), he made a kind of pros and cons list before embarking on THE CREATOR. Nevertheless, glad to see this little beast reaches the huge canvas together with other affordable cinema cameras (see Z CAM for reference). However, it’s far from being an IMAX-certified camera. The Sony FX3 was defined as ‘ Alpha on steroids, can be utilized professionally, is Netflix Approved, extremely durable, and reliable, and belongs to Sony’s acclaimed Cinema Line (together with the VENICE). Shooting Professionally With the Sony FX3. The Creator is definitely the first movie shot on a prosumer camera that costs less than $4,000 and aimed for an IMAX screen. However, these films were not intended to be screened on an IMAX screen. We all remember The Possession of Hannah Grace which is a Hollywood production shot on the Sony A7S II, and of course, the excellent Act of Valor which is the first DSLR Hollywood film (shot by Shane Hurlbut, ASC). If we are not mistaken, this is the first time a blockbuster shot on a prosumer camera is being aimed at an IMAX screen.

Moreover, BTS pictures confirm the use of the FX3. It has such a high ISO…in a much small camera”. I’m about to shoot the entire film on this camera. I’m about to use that on a film I’m shooting in Thailand (The Creator). Moreover, Fraser told before that he was truly impressed with the Sony FX3 as stated: “It’s an amazing prosumer camera. However, the ARRI 65 was deleted, and the Sony FX3 remained the main camera. Indeed, initially, it was written in IMDB Tech Spec that the film was shot on the ALEXA 65 combined with FX3. Many have claimed that the main camera was the ARRI ALEXA 65 and that the FX3 was a marketing stunt by Sony (or by Fraser). There was a solid discussion on the net about that. ![]() The technical highlight from a cinematography point of view of The Creator is that the film was shot on the Sony FX3. To give the film the feel of classic Hollywood epics such as Ben-Hur (1959), the filmmakers opted to shoot the film in the 2.76:1 ultra-wide aspect ratio. ![]() Hence, the main lead cinematographer was Sofer. It’s important to mention that Fraser was involved mainly in the pre-production phase and had to leave to shoot Dune Part Two. On an estimated production budget of more than $80 million, principal photography began in Thailand in 2022, with Greig Fraser and Oren Soffer serving as cinematographers. The film stars John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, and Allison Janney.
