Ultraviolet was filmed entirely in the new high definition format using Sony 950 cameras. To date, the only other films shot on Sony 950 cameras are Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. Executive producer Tony Mark had experience in high-definition, having produced Once Upon a Time in Mexico (which filmed on an earlier prototype of hi-def camera), but it took a lot of convincing on Mark’s part to get both Wimmer and the studio to take such a calculated risk. Wimmer was eventually won over after visiting George Lucas on the set of Star Wars, who showed him high-definition’s scope and possibilities.
“Ultraviolet’s future world is highly designed and highly stylized, all of which plays to the strengths of HD,” says Mark. “With so many visual effects in the film, it was also hugely advantageous to shoot digitally. And from a financial point of view – the film stock, getting it developed and couriered back – we wouldn’t have been able to develop locally in China.”
