The epic action-adventure "Snow White and the Huntsman" stars Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart.  The film is directed by Rupert Sanders and photographed by Greig Fraser with XL2s, G-series, E-series and Anamorphic Zoom lenses.

Panavision's Hugh Whittaker commented, "It was a logistically challenging show with a combination of 35mm anamorphic, Super 35mm, Panavision 65mm and a smattering of Red Epics. This at a time when we were servicing Dark Shadows, World War Z, Anna Karenina, Expendables 2 and Great Expectations, amongst others, out of the Panavision offices in London. Greig Fraser used our theatre extensively in the lens selection process. His crew would mount all the lenses on an Epic in the test room while he was able to sit with his AC- Chris Bain- in the  theatre and evaluate each and every lens. Greig also spent some considerable time during prep with Dan Sasaki in Woodland Hills making tweaks to individual lenses."
