How much does it cost to shoot cameras around the world?

Most movies in the world are shot with 35mm film. 70mm film is rarely used to shoot movies, mainly used to make IMAX (giant screen) movies, mainly landscape documentaries showing visual wonders. The application of 35mm camera in the world is mainly based on two brands, one is ARRI and the other is pannavision. The former is adopted by most countries, while the latter is mainly used in Hollywood film production. There are many kinds of cameras in ARRI, most of which are 435 (asynchronous radio station) and 535B (synchronous radio station) in China. Pannavision is rarely used ("My father and mother" are the users of this machine). The main reason is that domestic leasing companies do not have such machines. You can rent it from Hong Kong if you want to use it. As for the difference between ARRI and pannavision, it is mainly reflected in the lens. Pannavision's lens claims to be completely distortion-free, which Zeiss can't do (ARRI usually uses a focal plane that supports Zeiss). Of course, the price of pannavision is also higher than that of ARRI. The ARRI stand-alone machine that receives broadcasts at different times costs about 2.5 million RMB (excluding lenses), and the machine that receives broadcasts at the same time costs about 4 million RMB. Pannavision doesn't know the price for the time being because it claims that it only rents and doesn't sell. In the films like Transformers and Red Cliff, the loss of film is almost negligible, and the cost of film produced by Hollywood A Pole should be negligible. All movies that want to save money from film are basically low-cost movies, such as movies with an investment of less than 5 million. Kodak 35mm film (4 minutes) is about RMB 1500. According to a movie of 100 minutes, the film ratio is 1 1: 30, which is about RMB 165438+ ten thousand yuan. (Generally, the film ratio of domestic films is 1: 8- 1: 15). We exaggerated the movie ratio to 1: 100, and the movie was only 3.6 million, which is estimated to be less than the box lunch.

Sony or Panasonic HD cameras are generally used to shoot TV dramas in China, and almost no film is used to shoot TV dramas (domestic). Because the high-definition camera uses magnetic tape instead of film, the cost of consumables is very low, and it only needs a magnetic fee of about 50,000-60,000 yuan. (20 episodes of TV series)

It is an indisputable fact that digital technology will inevitably replace film. As for the difference in characteristics between film and numbers, it is not clear in one or two sentences. Perhaps the biggest difference is the difference between the shoulder and toe of the exposure curve. The digital camera is still relatively hard, while the film is relatively smooth. However, the requirement of digital camera for illumination is obviously lower than that of film (that is to say, it can save a lot of lighting costs).

At present, RED has launched a digital camera with a hard disk, which has been well received. Its technical parameters are very beautiful, claiming to reach 4K definition. At the same time, the price of the machine is extremely low, and all facilities can be controlled within 6,543,800 RMB (including the lens).

Your question is too big to be answered safely and accurately. If you want to make a movie, you absolutely don't have to buy a machine to make it. No one in the world does this unless there is money to burn it. Just rent it, the price is cheap and the quantity is sufficient. The same is true for TV series, and all equipment can be rented.
