CHRONOS was shot with a custom built Large Format 65mm Time Lapse film camera.

A good part of Nature's Journey was shot with a Sony 750 using a good piece of glass (lens).

We are not buying a Red but are looking in to shooting our next project with this camera.

See the Tech SPecs I posted below for NJ. This is the same info we included on the Printed Insert.
