Film & Video has an excellent behind the scenes look at Superman Returns usuage of Panavision Genisis in production and its positives and negatives in post. The most interesting quote to me was this: "Normally when we composite we blur the CG and add film grain so it sits in the plates nicely. With this camera we can't blur anything because the plates are so sharp, and we can't add grain because there's no noise in the camera. We had to make our stuff look sharper, but it wasn't a problem." The video aesthetic? But there was almost at times too much sharpness. Good read.(via HD for Indies)
