Daniel Craig(James Bond) shoots Super 8!

Post by **HTTK** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 7:21 am

Pretty cool if you ask me. Look at the photos below. The Bond 22 production team was in Italy shooting a horse race there. Craig wasn't filming as James Bond in any scenes(news story link) but it looks like 007 brought along his Super 8 camera to shoot some of his own action! I can't make out what type of camera it is but I'm sure some of you guys can!

In one of the shots I was thinking it was a Single 8 Fuji but not sure. Anyway...thought this was cool as another celebrity likes and shoots Super 8!!!

If anyone finds any more images feel free to add them!

Pretty cool to see more and more people shooting film nowadays then before.

Looks like a Canon to me.

There's heaps of really good Super 8 footage on the extras of the old bond film dvd's - like Her Majesty's etc.

Anyway good on him - just imagine the amound of film he could afford to shoot!

I think it's a sankyo

i'm pretty sure of it in fact. may not be that particular model but quite sure it's a sankyo.

Yeah it looks like Sankyo (CM-600?). The odd folding hand grip gives it away.

Not a Canon... but maybe a Nikon?

Cool. Firstly Kate Moss, now James Bond... who will be the next one?

It's definately a Sankyo Super CM600.

I can see it looks more and more like a Sankyo too as I look at it. I knew you all would be able to "decode" what camera it was. ;)

Indeed which celebrity is next?

Well we all know that Neil Young shoots on super 8 with a Eumig Nautica. And I believe the drummer of The Police is into super 8. Hmmm...I wonder if Steven Speilberg could be encouraged to pick up super 8 again....

Don't forget Art Garfunkel!

Seconded.

Its basic shape is identical to my Sankyo MF606 so I am very familiar with the form. Its a Sankyo for sure, older than mine so probably the CM600. In the first pic that is the filter screw key hanging from the hand strap.

cool Mr Bond.

Looks like HeÃ‚Â´s shooting with an orange 85B filter mounted on the camera lens...

Maybe he's testing a new invention of Q?.

"Pay attention, 007, it has an X-Ray viewfinder, which you use with this specially developed infra-red film..."

Could be a reflection from a wall on the other side of the street or from the sunset as well...
