Danny Boyle and how he matched new technology with old to film "Slumdog Millionaire"

It is too simplistic to argue that that digital technology and cameras on their own led to Boyle's outstanding results - it was achieved through a combination of very old and new technology.  That is, technological convergence in its widest sense! Danny Boyle simply showed ingenuity and fine practical sense when he combined an old technological device with the latest digital, hand-held cameras. the cameras used are 2K resolution on a digital system, it was rented to Danny Boyle to use for the filming of SlumDog Millionaire by a German company, its similiar to the same resolution of a RedOne Camera. It'd like a smaller, heavy version of a handheld camera, these camera's were used as they were hidable, helping not to disturb the natural occurances in the set of the slums where some of the scenes were filmed. The crew used for the filming of SlumDog Millionaire was very minimal, also not to distrub the people in the slums, 10 westeners were taken, along with the help from bollywood workers.
