Camera only shoots 12 minute takes
I learned that this was shot on a Canon 5D. How did they get past the "12 minute recording time limit," ? I would really like to know.
They would of had a separate recorder, the camera wouldnt of been recording to a card or internal memory it would be hooked up to something like a laptop or a large recording output, the camera would of been on standby the whole time and the output would of been recording.
Hope that help mate
cheers
Nah they just hid cuts, like Alfred Hitchcock did with Rope and a lot of other filmmakers did.
Even if they used a different recording output, the Canon 5Dmk2 can't be kept on too long without overheating. They're just clever hidden cuts.
Everybody lies
Yea..hidden cuts...alot of clever camera movement in certain scenes. Just started it and I think I saw 2 cuts before 20 minutes. Maybe there was more, but even the thought of trying to do a film in 1 take is a noble idea...just not really possible even with digital formats. Not unless you were filming a play type movie and had to leave in mistakes.

You only need a steady shot of an object or something to make a cut and there are a lot of those. Also some spots where the screen goes pitch black.

Or they could have installed the Magic Lantern hack on the 5D.
And I have heard of tricks such as wrapping a damp, cool towel around the camera to keep it from overheating, I'm guessing they could have come up with something.

Not in 2009. That version 5D couldn't output high quality video streams. I know this as I own one.
Not even the later 5D mark II could do this.
