Tim Burton's Corpse Bride "filmed" with EOS-1D Mark II's
Editors Guild Magazine has published an interesting article on the making of the stop-motion animated feature movie Corpse Bride. Of significance is the fact it's the first full-length movie of its type shot using commercially-available digital SLR cameras - in this case, twenty-four Canon EOS-1D Mark II's:

It mentions that they already owned $90,000 worth of Nikon glass. I wonder if the decision was made because of quality or because they already owned the glass.

No, I think it's interesting that they paired the two brands. I'm just curious as to why. It's simply my personal curiosity and has nothing to do with the war of the brands.

A lot of film camera's use Nikon glass... they especially love older AIS and AI lenses. Nikon glass gets mounted to Panavision camera's all the time. It sounds to me like they use the NEOS adapter to save money on having to purchase Canon lenses, when they already had all of the lenses they needed.

When we did Matrix the bullet time stuff was shot on cannon because they gave them a cheaper deal on the cameras.
150 of them there too, it had nothing to do with anything but budget!
Cheers,
Jasin.

Next time I shoot a short feature length stop-motion animation I'll look into it.
How does this in fact help your work? Does this make you a better photographer? Does the M II automatically center every subject in the viewfinder? Why post this in the Nikon forum? Why are you so worried about us poor lost Nikon souls?

Nikon glass was used but I was puzzled why they didn't look at the D2x, then I saw the production commencement date. The D2x had not been released. Say no more.

Simply put:
They had Nikon Galss
Like nikon Glass
Found out there was an adapter
Wanted a full frame sensor so no cutoffs
Were frugal and saved money
Burton liked the perpective of the lengths
The directors bother didn't notice the difference....
Pick one or more............

Since they likely didn't use anything besides a 60mm f2.8 macro for capturing the stop-action animation, I don't think the selection of Nikon glass had much to do with it.
The 1D MkII has a 1.3x crop factor, so full-frame was not an issue.
