IMDB's Technical Specifications page for the upcoming sequel to Marvel's the Avengers - Avengers: Age of Ultron (teaser trailer below) shows the usual list of very expensive Hollywood cameras - the Arri Alexa XT, the RED Epic, the Canon EOS C500 - but it also lists the $900 Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera shooting ProRes 4:2:2.
Here's the trailer:
The GoPro HD Hero 3 is also listed (probably as a POV cam).
It is terrific to see a camera from the world of micro-budget filmmaking used on a major Hollywood production - and it's also a testament to the quality of the images produced by the Pocket.
This camera has already been used for major TV advertising campaigns and on the set of the TNT series Dallas - but this is one of the first feature films.
Given this camera's price/performance ratio, it's likely that we'll see more BMPCCs on set in Hollywood going forward.
Hat tip to an anonymous poster over on 4chan for the heads up.
