CHRISTOPHER MALCOLM (ZEV-EMPIRE)
A really nice guy, at his first convention, the actor revealed that the replacement VISTAVISION camera used for Snowspeeder cockpit filming had previously been used on GONE WITH THE WIND- such was the film’s status that people on set would often come by just to touch the legendary camera that had filmed the movie!!
Did they a use a VistaVision camera on Gone With the Wind? That doesn't sound right. I thought VistaVision was a widescreen format invented in the 1950s. I also thought all the cameras used on GWTW were the bulky 3-strip Technicolor cameras.
