The Evolution of Cinema Film Shirt
From the days of old-fashioned cinema cameras through the present day of digital cinematography, filmmaking technology has changed quite a bit.

It features an image of an old cinema camera, a Bolex, a Panavision film camera, an ENG style video camera and a more modern video camera presented in an “evolution of man” style progression. Camera technology has changed a lot and this film shirt tracks the progress from the early 20th century up to the present day in five stages, each representing a different decade in Hollywood and the film/movie/television industry.
