    So it’s been several years now but I was able to Google it but I didn’t see what film type it was but I remember them telling me they had to have it specially made and it was something ridiculous like several thousand dollars per foot but I might be wrong about that it’s been so many years now I can’t really tell you but it was a hand cranked camera and this is what I found online

    Hand-cranked newsreel footage was taken on Scorsese’s own 1917 Bell and Howell.

        It was really cool. They were very adamant though, no one could miss a step. Which was crazy as there were probably 30 of us in that scene. Fortunately we nailed it. It was over a year before I saw the actual footage but it looked great. Love that they used that camera instead of just using digital makeup for that scene.

            It’s really long and very depressing so heads up. It’s basically true story about the Osage finding oil on their land in the 20s or 30s and the white man did what they do best. Based off the book with the same name.

            Great fuckin movie, but very scoresese. Forever super proud I got to be a tiny part of it.
