Actally, this movie was NOT shot entirely with HD cameras. Zodiac, the upcomming David Fincher movie is officially the first to do so. Google or IMDB it for youself. I know for a fact that Mr. Mann used film for some of the helicopter shots and also for a few fast moving shots (very high framerates, which HD cannot do). They did use the Thompson Viper for most of it though....even destroying a few of these half million hd cams in speedboat scene accidents.
Satan's Calliope is not a new or recent invention either. It made its first appearence at Burning Man over 3 years ago (notice the "mutant vehicle" sticker on the front). It's neat looking, but the gas motor and the 4 car tires kinda detract from the concept to me. It's definately an art car though...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
