      I wonder if it’s because 28 Days Later was shot on a handful of Canon XL-1’s, which was a breakthrough as they were one of the first prosumer cameras that could pull off a film like that.

      Kind of a nod and a wink at the heritage of the story to shoot on consumer hardware.

        Sounds like a weird “we’ll finance you but you’re going to have to agree to our wacko conditions” kind of deal.

        Odd that he found nobody else. Or maybe he found the challenge interesting.
