I’ve heard Matthew Barney’s work described as “film” and as “video” — which is correct?
The Cremaster Cycle was all shot on video, but the footage is transferred to 35mm film stock for projection. Cremaster 4 was shot on BETA SP, Cremaster 1 and 5 were shot on Digital BetaCam, Cremaster 2 was shot on HDTV, and Cremaster 3 was shot on 24P HDTV, a format that records video at 24 frames per second, the same speed that film is shot and projected.
