Was checking out the Matchstick Men making of doco's and i liked the look of the footage, very filmic.

Was hoping the operator would shoot glass or a mirrorso i could see the cam in the reflection but no such luck.

Does anyone know what cam they used here? my guess is dvx100

It looks very filmick because it was shot on film, 35mm Panavision.
Sorry to bust your bubble.

It looked like DV to me, actually. Thereīs a hint at the end of the doc. The director and some one else (Cage, if I remember well), are looking at the camera and say "wow, thatīs a huge camera, look at this thing!" They surely must have been joking. Also, the audio seemed to come from an on-camera mic (except for the interviews, that is).
