The trailer of the Avengers: Endgame (2019) has been released a minute ago. You can watch it just below. It appears that this movie was shot exactly like his big brother, utilizing the special combination of IMAX and ARRI 65.
Shot entirely using IMAX and ARRI
The directors of the film, the Russo Brothers, have announced that INFINITY WAR part 1 and part 2 will be shot entirely using IMAX and ARRI’s 2D digital camera, which is a joint customized digital version of ARRI’s large format camera, the Alexa 65.
RED Dragon and Helium
According to the spec (see below) there are other cameras as well: RED Weapon Dragon VV and the RED Weapon Helium S35. It’s important to note that the spec is not updated and a bit premature in term of info, but you got the point.
ALEXA 65 technology to be used by IMAX
Just a reminder, the partnership between IMAX and ARRI has benn announced before, and it allows customization of the ALEXA 65 system for use on IMAX productions.
Next-generation 2D digital camera
As stated before by IMAX: “The next-generation 2D digital camera – co-developed by IMAX and ARRI – is meant for use by today’s leading filmmakers working in the IMAX® format. The joint solution is designed as a complementary tool to IMAX’s high-resolution capture technologies – including its 3D digital and 15perf / 65mm film cameras. Moreover, IMAX worked with ARRI to achieve the highest level of digital image capture for playback on IMAX’s xenon and new laser projection systems.”
