Inconsistency with the camera's


More people noticed this? Multiple times someone lifts a silver camera, takes a shot, and then lowers a black camera afterwards. Or the other way around, but you get the point... Sloppy, in a movie about photographers ;)

I'll have to watch again. Are you sure it's not how the light hits the camera? I'm pretty sure that the actors were each assigned cameras that they always used. I believe they even were allowed to keep them according to an interview with Taylor Kitsch.

Yes I am sure.

But maybe it only happens to Greg, because he buys a new camera, and therefore has two of them. A silver and a black one. Nikkormat, and a FM2 I think.

The best example is just around the 27th minute where Greg takes a picture of Kevin. There is no doubt there that it is not correct in this scene.

You've given me incentive to watch this again, which is always a pleasure.

I think they all carry more than one camera. But like I said, I'll watch it again.

Every so often I'm sure I see a rangefinder of some sort. I was trying to pay attention to the cameras but it wasn't easy.
