Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Looks very film like, a bit of fuzziness in the darker areas aside. Could this be the beginning of the end for celluloid that's been threatened for the last decade or so?

Looks really nice, and detailed. The bloke looks kind of unnatural but it's a nice stylistic effect nonetheless.

Dunno if I'm being really dumb here, but since two cameras can't occupy the same area how do they film the same thing with two cameras without each exposure pass being offset slightly, much like a 3D camera?

They used a beam splitter - a sort of prism, I think - connected to a single lens.

Ah right, clever.

HDR is fun to play around with but for me it always ends up making everything look bit too over processed and shiny. It looks like how I'd imagine advertising executives, or people that work at Google, might permanently see the world, if that makes any sense.
