Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

Maybe they will let him if he agrees to shoot the new season entirely on iPhones. Lol! (Someone once said he had considered doing that, but not sure if it's true or not - think it was?)

Is that from the Peter Deming interview with Roger Deakins? I think it was more a comment on the way Lynch loves digital and likes to work quickly/in a small-scale way.

Yeah, that's probably where I remember it from, the quote saying he would have shot the whole thing with a few iPhones if he was allowed. I think a few people took issue with that claim though!

[mtwentz]

You guys have fun but please take insults, attacks, and political stuff elsewhere

I second this sentiment.

[Jonah]

Just to clarify - I engaged in none of that kind of stuff. I know it wasn't aimed at me and is a general comment but as my post and the reply to it kind of came in the middle of all of that, it might look othewise lol.

And I also agree with the sentiment. This isn't the place for any of that.

You’ve been very diplomatic Jonah.

Yeah, I doubt Lynch actually would have gone with iPhone. Deming made the same comment in an interview with ACS:

David used a small prosumer camera to shoot Inland Empire and cameras of that size have gotten much better over the years, and people are now shooting with all sorts of things, including iPhones. Honestly, [laughs] if David could’ve, he might’ve shot Twin Peaks on an iPhone. But there was a lot of discussion about shooting with DSLRs, or a Canon C300, or something like that, but a couple factors weighed against that.

It wouldn't surprise me if this production makes use of the Lumix S1H or Canon C70, two of the small form factor cameras approved of as primary cameras by Netflix.
The rolling shutter issue that ruled DSLRs and C300 out for Twin Peaks is still present, so if this is a very visual effects heavy production it will probably be a stripped down cinema camera body as the primary camera.

Interesting how quickly Lynch changed his mind after his initial comments about returning to film with season 3, film still being “the best quality”.

Don't remember who made the comment or on which thread, but apparently Lynch originally wanted The Return to be on film, but was eventually convinced that digital was the way to go.

I remember thinking he was talking about celluloid in a photographic context?

I don't think he'd ever give up the digital workflow to go back to film on a movie shoot.

I doubt that if he wanted to shoot with tiny cameras.

I remember this, but I put it down to a misquote, maybe due to translation error. He later said it would be absurd to shoot on film for tv with all the processes involved.

Maybe, but this was quite soon after he talked about rediscovering the beauty of celluloid while editing The Missing Pieces. I think it is likely there was a brief moment when he considered returning to film after his digital conversion.

[Cde.]

That makes sense.

I think David was undecided on what camera to shoot on for a bit. There are public appearances he did in the years between Inland and TP R where he mentioned that he talks to Deming and he tells him what cameras he's been using, which ones he likes etc. I do think film was considered for a hot minute for the Return, perhaps when they were thinking of only doing 8 or 9 episodes. Probably a lot of things were fluid and in flux then. DL said he was falling in love with celluloid again after all the high res re scanning of the FWWM footage for the missing pieces. I don't think the phone thing was ever too seriously considered. I've listened to the whole Deming/Deakins podcast, and Deming said it in a sort of joking manner that Lynch is willing to take risks and experiment, and used the iphone thing as a bit of hyperbole. O & A blew it up into a whole video and made it seem like it was more of a thing DL had really pushed for and Showtime execs rebuffed, not sure it ever made it that far. DL did get some DSLR footage with the Laura scream in the red room.
