Movie Photography, Arri Cameras and German Engineering

10:00 p.m. (b)

This movie's got great photography

It's a 10/10.

I haven't even seen it.

I wonder what camera they used

I think it's an Arri

Let's see

There are only so many options

Red, which Sangeetha likes

Red Helium 8K

Quentin likes Panavision

I like Arri Alexa like Steve

Even though

Nazis made it or something

Those Germans

All of them identified as Nazis

They used it for camera footage

For filming stuff

But they made it properly

Germans, Nazis had better guns

They had a better assault rifle

They had a better looking uniform

They had a better tank, the Panzer

They could crush our tanks

Nazis had

A better aircraft

That's why the Red Baron

Could kill so many of us

The Messerschmitt

They even had U-Boats

That made it a nightmare

They disrupted our supplies

They even got a few agents in US

Who tried help them win

But we had something they didn't

We had God on our side
