With all the concerns and issues voiced so far in this thread, I'm actually very interested in seeing what your tests yield. Please be sure to post your progress as you get closer.

 

Equally, please also post if the producer/director realizes that perhaps they've hit the threshold where their idea has collided with technological capability. I would think the creative team will realize they either must 1) select a different camera to achieve a 110 minute feature, or 2) abandon the 110 minute feature "in a oner" idea.

 

After all, #1 is breaking some new ground technologically, but #2, one could easily defer to the historical lessons of underperforming films attempting similar "stunts" and, as Jerry said, abandoning the long, richly developed language of cinematic narrative.

Indeed.

 

I now have an excellent idea of what is needed as far as equipment, whether or not we can all keep the creative elements intertwined will be the challenge. The best films are never easy, and they shouldn't be, it wouldn't be fun that way. So, we'll see where this goes.

 

Thank you everyone so much for all the advice, suggestions and comments, it has truly helped. I look forward to keeping you updated on this project and I hope to report good news.

 

If anyone else has a thought, shoot.

Now you sound like a Producer. :P

 

I'd argue that the best films could also show the filmmakers had the most fun doing it. However, maybe we've spent enough time off subject. I look forward to hearing about your tests and findings/experience.
