Vittorio Storaro & Francis Ford Coppola w/ Mitchell BNCR

From one of the first things I ever shot with my Mitchell BNCR 35mm film camera. While I have shot more projects with Arri because of its much lighter weight, it is hard to beat the images that come from this camera paired with my Super Baltar prime lenses. This is circa 1990

For Trafic's shooting (1971), Jacques Tati used a Mitchell camera. He insisted on working with this type of camera, which had a range of about 10 different models. In the Netherlands they only had the unusual 'Mitchell Reflex', and it seemed to give some annoying halo effects caused by the lights inside the RAI building in Amsterdam. The crew lost a lot of time because scenes had to be redone. Bert Haanstra (director at first) was annoyed about the huge costs of this camera, using the Arriflex type would have costed three times less.

Picture shows a Mitchell NCR/BNCR - Reflex, most likely the type Tati used. Bert Haanstra together with Jacques Tati and other on set pictures showing the Mitchell camera.
