They gave us flexibility in shooting and helped create the very precise, high- contrast, and slightly dreamy look we were going for. Gillian Robespierre, “Landline”ARRI Alexa with some vintage lenses“Landline” takes place in 1. Manhattan. My DP Chris Teague and I talked a lot about what shooting a period movie from a recent period would look and feel like. Unfortunately, we were not able to shoot on film, and added a texture of Live.

Grain during color correction that was designed to represent film stock, and it’s really quite extraordinary. Geremy Jasper, behind the scenes on“Patti Cake$”Geremy Jasper, “Patti Cake$”ARRI Alexa Mini. It was a very ambitious shoot, and we needed to be quick and nimble. Fede Cesca, my cinematographer, is a genius operator who likes to get up into the action. We wanted a lightweight camera that could give us the energetic dynamics of live performance and also the intimacy of our characters. READ MORE: How . We knew we were going to shoot digital and, aside from producing great images, the Alexa gives you the ability to shoot both Pro.

Res and RAW. We shot Pro. Res when we could control the light and then we shot RAW in darker or more uncontrolled circumstances. This allowed us to keep the amount of data down and not burn through nearly as many hard drives. Cate Shortland, “Berlin Syndrome”ARRI Alexa. Kirsten Tan, “Pop Aye”Arri Alexa XTI chose to shoot anamorphic since “Pop Aye” is a road film that, naturally, comes with abundant scenery and landscapes. These landscapes would be done more justice with anamorphics not merely because of the wider aspect ratio but because to me, anamorphic lenses render distance in a more interesting way. I like the anamorphic look also because it often imbues a film with a certain classical and non- contemporary quality that I felt was suitable for a road movie with existential concerns.

We went with the Alexa XT and that was perfect for it because it comes with a 4: 3 sensor mode. In combination with the old 8. Hawk C- Series Anamorphic Prime lenses that we used, it gave the film’s texture a dreamy and other- worldly quality, fit for the film’s melancholic- surrealistic mood. Kirsten Tan, “Pop Aye”Gerard Mc. Murray, “Burning Sands”ARRI Alexa Mini.

I originally wanted to shoot on 3. Director of Photography Isiah Dont.

The Arri was perfect for the many night scenes of night scenes we needed to capture because of it’s superior perfomance in low light situations. We also shot in a lot of compact locations such as cars and dorm rooms so the smaller build of the Mini provided us more flexibility when creating our shots.

Shooting digital also allowed us to move a bit faster on a very tight schedule. Marti Noxon, “To The Bone”ARRI Alexa. It was absolutely the right tool. Almost every DP I spoke to said it was the only camera they like to shoot with now. WATCH: Girl Talk Live: Female Cinematographers on How They Made Their Sundance Films — Watch.

Joshua Z Weinstein, “Menashe”Canon C3. It’s an incredible lightweight camera that is great in low light and has a beautiful image. 9/11 (2017) Download Ipod. Alex Ross Perry on set of “Golden Exits.”Don Stahl. Alex Ross Perry, “Golden Exits”Aaton XTR Prod It’s the same Super 1. I made. I’ve talked a lot, perhaps too much, about my relationship with film as a medium for telling the stories I like telling and “Golden Exits” was no exception. It’s a warm movie of interiors and texture.

As always, film is the only way to go. Zoe Lister- Jones, “Band Aid”ARRI Amira with vintage lenses. I wanted more of a film feel, but with the mobility and ease of digital. My DP, Hillary Spera, suggested the Amira because of the way it handles natural light, its workflow, and how well it takes to handheld shooting. Michael J Larnell, “Roxanne Roxanne”ARRI Alexa. We were also able to shoot anamorphic, which meant we could fit more of the image into the frame, which was helpful for the small and tight spaces that we shot in, like the apartments within the Queensbridge Housing Projects. Matt Spicer, “Ingrid Goes West”ARRI Alexa Mini with Panavision C- Series Anamorphic lenses.

Shooting anamorphic can be tough on a budget because the lenses tend to be slower and require more light to achieve focus but shooting digitally allowed us to use more natural light and move a lot quicker. The small size of the camera also allowed us to maneuver into some tight spaces and get shots that we wouldn’t normally be able to get with such big lenses. Janicza Bravo, “Lemon”ARRI Alexa. Because it’s the nicest thing we had access to that wasn’t film.

Janicza Bravo shooting “Lemon”Stefania Rosini. John Trengove, “The Wound”ARRI Alexa Classic. It had the sensitivity to allow us to shoot the film with only natural, available light, often in low light conditions. More importantly, though, was the lenses: Kowa anamorphics. The conditions we were shooting under were close to documentary, and the Kowas countered this by refining the visuals and creating something like an old- fashioned matte frame around the images. Tarik Saleh, “The Nile Hilton Incident”ARRI Alexa and Hawk Lite lenses.

I knew when I wrote the film that it was anamorphic. My D. P Pierre A. Because we shot the film under difficult circumstances in four countries I knew had to shoot digital.

Alexandre Moors, “The Yellow Birds”ARRI Alexa and Alexa mini. I have yet to meet a producer who will tell me we can afford to shoot on film.

Alexandre Moors with DP Daniel Landin on “The Yellow Birds.”Jun Geng, “Free and Easy”ARRI Alexa Plus. The reason is that we were short of funding, yet we wanted to achieve the best visual effects. To my knowledge, ARRI has the highest degree of tolerance and color rendering, which could satisfy my requirements for the environment and lighting. Regarding the lens, we used UP group lens, which didn’t fully provide the sensitivity and stereoscopic vision, yet it was good enough to present the sense of realism and absurdity of this project.

My cinematographer, Wang Weihua, did an excellent job, offering the best I could imagine. Felipe Braganca, “Don`t Swallow My Heart, Alligator Girl!”REDDuring the preparations for the film, me and Glauco Firpo (the DP) shot several tests with different cameras. We needed something that work in very different light conditions, since we were filming everything in real locations far way from any big city, and we also needed a camera that would be easy to handle filming in boats, woods and other “adventurous” conditions.

In the end, RED, was the best option. Nana & Simon, “My Happy Family”ARRI Alexa XT with Anamorphic lenses. READ MORE: Sundance After Trump: How The Election Changed the Filmmakers and Their Films. Michelle Morgan, “L. A. Times”The Arri Alexa. I was very happy.

My DP, Nico Wiesnet, is really into lenses. He got us some really beautiful anamorphics that just kind of really set the tone for us.“L.

A. Times,” Michelle Morgan on set. Mikey Piliero. Amman Abbasi, “Dayveon”Red Epic with a Dragon sensor and shot at 5.

K. There are some mixed media aspects of the film that we shot with camera phones. I do like Red and their pursuit to push the technologies of cameras forward but I am fairly agnostic to cameras. Whatever is right for the job. Red worked this case since 3. We wanted a camera that would capture maximum data to preserve the images of the south. Mark Palansky, “Rememory”Arri Alexa with special anamorphic lenses / Sony A7.
