Post #8 is about Thomas Cochrane, the real Master and Commander.

Multi camera filming may be interesting to movie makers, but to me, not so.

35.7K subscribersMaster and Commander: The Far Side of the World is an epic, Napoleonic era war film released in 2003. Co-written, produced and directed by Peter Weir, the movie’s plot and characters are adapted from three novels in author Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey–Maturin series, which includes 20 completed novels of Jack Aubrey's naval career.

Russell Crowe stars as Aubrey, captain in the Royal Navy, alongside Paul Bettany as Dr. Stephen Maturin, the ship's surgeon. The movie was filmed on the open sea, as well as on replica ships, and on the Galapagos Islands. It cost $150 million to make, co-produced by 20th Century Fox, Miramax Films, Universal Pictures, and Samuel Goldwyn Films, and released on November 14, 2003.

Unfortunately, it underperformed at the box-office, grossing $212 million worldwide. However, the film was praised critically. At the 76th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director—winning Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing. In all other categories it lost to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. While originally there was a plan to create a franchise, no sequels were made.

374K subscribersMuch of “Master and Commander” was shot with multiple-cameras. Despite the numerous pitfalls inherent to using more than one camera, it was decided that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. Multi-camera shooting takes very careful planning and can raise more problems than it solves — for example lighting is more difficult to get right and there’s more chance for errors to occur which cause more takes.

occur which cause more takes. This behind-the-scenes look is designed to give you a sense of what multi-camera shooting is like - showing the raw footage of what each camera captured for this particular scene. This showcases even more footage from the sequence - “Surprising the Surprise” - was shot with 3 cameras (Cameras A, B & E). The end presents some behind-the-scenes “B roll” of the

action being filmed at the same time to show what the crew and rest of the cast was doing, along with a composite of all 4 cameras playing at the same time.
