Notes & More Information
Interview with DOP John DeFazio, 10th August 2013
Q: Can you tell us about the equipment you used to shoot The Canyons?
I shot the movie on two Arri Alexa high definition cameras with a Zeiss Standard Speed lens package, which I think we shared between the two cameras. We also uses a Canon 7D for a couple scenes either for it’s small size or for a third angle. On the Canon 7D I used my vintage Super Takumars and a Jupiter 9 85mm and a Helios 44 58mm modified with a canon mount. The 7D had a very interesting raw look for the four-way sex scene and most of the shots from that scene were shot with the 7D. We had a small lighting and grip package generously donated by Hot Strike. All of our lights had to be small enough to be plugged into household outlets as we couldn’t afford a generator.
