Okay, so that's the lens.

You can't use regular cameras.

And the camera is looking down at her.

You're underneath it, looking up into the lens of the camera obscura.

You can see them in this footage.

The camera is always on.

We did about 325 shots.

So here's the behind the scenes, a couple of little shots here.

That's my camera lens. The first one the one I shot my Bob Dylan film with 35 years ago.

And you can see the cops in this footage right here.

All the cameras were, of course, on Sophia.

In a second I'm going to show you a slow motion of a single firefly so that you can get a sense. This is a single frame.

This value controls the amount of distortion. Negative values correct lens barrel distortion, while positive values correct lens pincushion distortion.

There's a photorealistic eye behind a lens.

He picked up a mirror and examined his tongue.

They would have to film us from a really long distance by helicopter and then have a really long lens, and we would see ourselves, on TV, pasting.

That's what you see with these cameras.

And I'm going to use it to give you my take on the stuff of life.

In addition to the T mount 23mm fixed and 18 56 zoom lenses launched at the same time, the M Adapter T allows users of the Leica M series of lenses to attach and use the camera as well.

And you can zoom in. This is taking a look at Atlanta.

These are some of the shots actually from my film.

Are you in a helmet? Are you in goggles?

OK, George, can you pan back over to the corner market?

It took us 85 takes to get it on film to our satisfaction.

I'm just going to show you some footage, and tell me what you think.

This is the Keck observatory. It hosts two telescopes with a mirror 10 meters, which is roughly the diameter of a tennis court.

So I went back there with a 28 mm lens.

And I'd just like to show you a little footage of what he did back then.

So I showed him these two shots, and then he basically told me what he thought.

Because American dramas are very bloody, he doesn't like watching them.

There were these three people and me, and I am taking the pictures, that's why I am not in.

You probably saw the humpback whale footage that we got there a month or two ago off County Wexford.

And then I put some ultraviolet filters on my camera and took a very, very long exposure with the particular frequencies of ultraviolet light and this is what I got.

BJ But we truly do spend day and night trying to capture unique footage.

But even more incredible was the footage shot from the Triton submersible.

A time for plotting to whack the chief of police, like in this classic scene from The Godfather.

She's trying to force feed my camera, which is every photographer's dream.

And the camera can lie, and it makes it very, very easy with the mass bombardment of imagery to tell untruths.

So, we modified the optics of the camera in order to mimic the baby's visual acuity.
