They only used them to shoot additional footage. Putting these cameras into areas too dangerous for the camera operators, like right next to an explosion. So basically they treat them like giant GoPro’s, stick them in the firing line and hope they get something good.
I’m all for talking up how awesome DSLR’s are at shooting video but they still used the Alexa for the whole movie including the stunt & action scenes.

That’s great. I just read an article about this camera,
http://www.talktechnews.co.uk/2012/03/03/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii-announced I would love to own this camera. It is great that it is being used in this way. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.

Reminds me of a “failed” fstoppers video I was doing years ago….they did the exact same thing I did for my crash camera. Might have to revisit this again
