† The Moviecam was designed by Fritz Bauer as a modern,
light-weight 35mm camera that has a quiet movement for
shooting scenes with sound. Moviecam was an Austrian
company, and they made three camera models: The
SuperAmerica, the Compact, and the SL (superlight).
These are among the most versatile cameras on the
market, since they can convert from full "studio" mode
into handheld or Steadicam mode in minutes. Moviecam was
purchased by Arri in the early 1990s, and Fritz Bauer
was hired as the chief designer of the new Arricam. The
Arricam ST ("Studio") is very similar to the Compact,
and even employs the same Compensating Link
movement. As a part of motion picture camera history, the Moviecam is quite significant. Prior to 1970, the main camera was the Mitchell BNCR, and it was a behemoth. Its large size was quite limiting, especially with the 1960s cinema styles being handheld and liberated. The Arri BL, released in 1972, revolutionized cinematography by being light enough to shoot both studio and handheld shots. The original BL required a blimp to dampen the chatter of the movement, and still wasn't very quiet even with the blimp, but it made way for the BL3 and BL4, which solved many of the original problems and inconveniences. The Moviecam was released after the BL series, and was much lighter and even more quiet. |
