From American Cinematographer, Gleaming the Cube by Mark Dillon (March 1998)
"We wanted to create a rumble that was different from what you see in all of the big action films, and the only way to do that was to create our own rig."
- Derek Rogers
Toward this end, Rogers borrowed an industrial-size vibrator used to shake garbage out of construction bins, mounted it under a plywood frame with rubber shocks, then placed the camera on top of the shocks. Rogers used his Arriflex 35-III to shoot the shaking sequence, since the force-fully rhythmic motion would have pulverized the tiny Aaton.
I read, discuss, and discover new things about cinematography everyday. Most of it, I consider incredibly interesting. Everyday I will share one of those things, maybe more if I have time.
