- Lot Description
A customized Mitchell Camera Corp Model NC 35mm camera used in WarGames (MGM, 1983). Colin Cantwell used this camera for his work on creating NORAD at MGM Studios in Culver City, California. The 35mm Mitchell Camera Corp cameras (the GC, NC, and BNC models) are historically viewed as “the cameras that made the movies," and visual effects cameramen continue to use them to this day (particularly to make use of stop motion and high-speed capabilities and precision). In one of his last Hollywood projects, Cantwell was asked to design the NORAD war room scenes for the movie WarGames . The 12 giant War Room wall screens were programmed by Cantwell in a rush environment where each screen's programming occurred the night before filming. These "large monitors" were, in fact, about 6 by 8 inch Hewlett Packard computer monitors that were enlarged for dramatic movie effects (see other lot offering). The Mitchell Corp NC/BNC was popular in the filming of major motion pictures from the 1930s through the late 1960s, though they were expensive, and only around 30 per year were made at the height of production. Mitchell purportedly produced 364 (model numbers 1-365; there was no #13), and the NC was the smaller model. NC is an acronym for News Camera. This example offered for sale is Model No. 338. Cantwell used this particular camera for his work in these practical effects in WarGames with the NORAD scenes filmed at MGM Studios (now Sony) in Culver City. Includes a Bodine 23T2BEHD HY-Sync AC Synchronous DC Stepping Motor, which is mounted on the camera. Three Mitchell Camera Corp 35mm, 1,000-foot film magazines (two Model NC10B and one Model NC10) are included as well as one wooden case that holds two magazines. Also included is an industrial grade custom plate mount used during the production of WarGames .
