Back to the Future with 4K: Large-Sensor Motion Picture Cameras in 2013

David Leitner of Filmmaker Magazine writes: A motion picture camera used to be a light-sealed box with a strip of film running through it. Was it easy to thread? Did it run quiet?

How 'Oblivion' Went from Small-Budget Idea to Big Action Blockbuster

ICG Magazine talks to director Joseph Kosinski about his new film, Oblivion starring Tom Cruise. Says Kosinski about the initial concept, "I was trying to get my foot in the door for commercials and music videos when I began [making this film], so it was initially meant to be a small first feature with a much smaller budget.
