Just seen Nosferatu. That film proves to me that multi-camera is moronic and useless. Single camere with structured shots is moviemaking. Anything else is soap opera with expensive deko if you’re fortunate.
Lord of the rings, saving private ryan, mad max fury road, and many more were shot with multicam. Saying absolutes like this isn't that smart - best tool for the job. Nosferatu doesn't need multicam, some other films do.
@ you shoot multicam maybe in action scenes that are complicated and too time consuming to repeat. I still maintain that truly strong and emotional (staying close too eyeline etc.) camera blocking can best be achieved with single camera. If a second or third camera doesn’t hurt the „main“ shot, they don’t hurt but will usually not necessarily be used. The latest ridley scott school of lazy camera blocking comes not from a storytelling urge but from the directors impatience and laziness. The multiple cameras on saving worked cause the action was widespread, but it still feels like single camera. And Spielberg favors one camera as do the coens. I really maintain that multiple cameras distance the viewer and kill emotional participation, if overdone.
@of1300 again it depends on how its done and whether the situation calls for it - I agree a lot of people who use multi cam do it badly, but that doesn't make the technique bad in itself. It would be like saying slow shutter is bad because it wouldn't look good for an entire film, that's kind of missing the point. I don't really believe that these tools are inherently good, bad, soap opera-y or cinematic in themselves, it's just how its used
Would definitely say having more than one camera saves time. You can have more footage to work with as well which allows for a variety of editing results. Can never have too much footage. Of course, depending on the situation it isn't entirely necessary. Dialogue between two or more people is one of those where it's easier to have more than one camera. Over the shoulder shots etc. You don't have to keep doing the same scene over and over due to coverage issues. It's simply more practical
@ listen to john mathieson on the subject. He is a world class cinematographer and just shot a rather famous film sequel in multiple camera mode. It always depends. On what your priorities are.
