The technique of using high-def video and reshooting to film will
become more popular - was used on 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico" I
believe to allow a greater range of effects.
I first saw that massive DOF lens used in a piece by David
Attenborough where a grasshopper and the great man were the same
apparent size and both in apparent focus. Neat. It's a really weird
design and was developed by a genius in Central Victoria - I believe
he's now sold the design on to some corporate giant like Sony and
returned to the search for a better mousetrap.
