Just picked up an Alexa Classic camera! At this price point the camera is an absolute no brainer. Write it off on your taxes as a business expense, make money with the camera, and sell it for probably the same as what you paid for it now. I can't image these cameras can get much cheaper.

[@wcsdiaries]

So why are these cameras so expensive? bc of the color science? Can you explain why an arri is worth 10x as much as like a sony fx6 or red komodo?

[@HonJazzz]

@@wcsdiaries The new ones are 10X the price, not the classic. It comes down to build quality, color science, tonality, and how the sensor handles difficult lighting situations. 60K is nothing for a major Film/TV show so it makes sense to use a system that is proven to be reliable, and has a simple workflow. Time is money.

[@wcsdiaries]

@@HonJazzz so you're saying the camera saves them to trouble of doing major work like color grading? Thus paying for a 60k camera = saving money ?

[@HonJazzz]

@@wcsdiaries it’s more about how it responds to the grade. It holds up extremely well. Also, I feel like the camera has a lot of qualities that are difficult to quantify. It just has a pleasing look.

The tax reduction will only be a small part of $6500, and that may even be distributed in multiple years depending on the country taxation laws and the nature of the tool. Like any investment, it may make sense in some cases.The benefit from its use must be higher than its cost minus the tax, and there are many other parameters to consider when you are spending money.

[@Spirit532]

Fun fact: ARRI doesn't make their own sensors. ON Semiconductor makes the ALEV III sensor, they were also the ones commissioned to design it and won an award for it. Fun fact #2: The Alexa LF and Mini LF don't have a new sensor. They just butted two old ALEV III designs together and rotated it. They only ever had one sensor, the same as in your "old" Classic, and it's still the one used in their latest cameras. The Alexa 65 is just three ALEV III designs butted together on the same die.

[@HYTTFilms]

who makes RED sensors?

[@heikosale1027]

Well of course Arri don't have a semiconductor factory, but they didn't just order "some sensor" from ON Semiconductor. They have specialists who designed that sensor in collaboration with the semiconductor people, and they did a good job so far because every cameraman with a high enough budget will usually go for Arri.

[@Spirit532]

@@heikosale1027 You completely missed my point. I said specifically that they *do not* have these specialists. They contracted ON Semi to design the sensor for them.

[@heikosale1027]

@@Spirit532 I didn't mean Arri have *sensor* specialists. Arri have experts who know what they want as a result in color reproduction, and they made it happen. If it were so easy to just hire some semiconductor company to make a good sensor for you, then Sony, Blackmagic, Canon, Panasonic and others would have sensors that are just as good as Arri's.

“Can record more colors than our human eyes can see” ...how do we know if we can’t see them? (joking lol)

[@Karthig1987]

Lol i am guessing you can only check that with some digital color table? Kinda like rgb being 16 million colors and to be honest i have no idea if can tell some shades apart

[@iSOBigD]

And display them on a monitor which does not, so you're definitely not seeing them. It also depending on how you export and encode/compress the video, but it's always good to have more colors or a bigger range than not.

[@trisv1974]

Because it is being record and then you have a wider range to edit, its call Dynamic Range.

[@StringerNews1]

That's not really true. The camera's sensor may be sensitive to _wavelengths_ (like infrared, which is not a color) that the human eye cannot see, but the human eye does not quantize colors into discrete and limited values. So while the number of colors that the camera can record is a limited function, the human eye has no such limitation-it can see infinite numbers of different shades. (How our brains process this information is another matter, but that was not part of the claim.) There's no quantity greater than infinity. Although it might seem like a "feature" to have a camera sensor that is sensitive to wavelengths that the human eye is not sensitive to, it's actually a bug. Like our eyes, the camera only records three primary colors: red, green and blue. A sensor that can for example resolve longer wavelength reds than the human eye can only record the invisible (to humans) light as "red", so a scene that contains more of the longer wavelength red will only be recorded as "more red" not "deeper red." The ideal opto-electrical transfer function (OETF) for any camera used for human viewing is precisely the same as the human eye, no more no less.

[@heikosale1027]

There's a parking spot right there, so it's not in the middle of nowhere, but it's either a national park or it's owned by the city or the county. These entities usually charge for permits for professional cinematography because they can, but also to limit the amount of low-budget professional shoots in popular spots. They do the same in Germany in parks around castles and stuff like that. These spots would be flowing over with photographers and film crews every day, and so they are really strict about it. You can expect expensive fines if you publish professional pictures or video from there without a permit.

Meeting some dude in “Hollywood” he sells you an Alexa on a street corner. That moment when you get home and find your Alexa is actually a shoe box painted grey with “Arri” down the side and it’s actually full of potato peelings (to give it authentic weight of course). I was half expecting that dude with the curly hair to leg it down the road after he said “hope you have fun with it” 😂

I really enjoyed that. Your enthusiasm is infectious

I'm subscribing because I have never laugh on a vlog so much with your reactions! hahaha

All the ARRI Alexas use the Alev-III Sensor, 14 stops dynamic range, high quality build, 8.25 micron size pixels, its a workhorse of a camera meant to last a long time. Even survives Warehouse fires. ✓

It's crazy to think that they nailed that sensor so much that almost 10 years later they didn't have to change anything. Basically they just keep stacking them to increase resolution.

This is why I love living in LA. Everyone is so damn nice and chill 😎

[@iDigress77times]

Yikes please visit because this is just good luck lol

[@kitchenraw]

Such a weird coincidence. The side walk you bought the camera is actually infront of my apartment in NoHo 😄 and I see this dude around all the time

[@joshinthemoment]

Watching this in 2021 and I'm just so happy that you got the house anyway!

I have to keep yelling "Cancel" at my echo throughout this video.

OwO

[@tyler6726]

Same 😂🤣😂🤣

[@erikm9768]

Kari's the best cus she understands that making dope videos buying used Alexas will jack your view count and maximize long term profit!

[@NilsJakobson]

Hate the Craigslist in LA. Whenever I want to buy something - its sold. Last week literally on my way to pick up a gimbal the seller called me back saying someone just arrived before me. Love that.

[@srenhalsgaard1638]

Internet: Do you wanna buy this expensive camera Gene: Well getting a house isn’t really necessary, is it Kerri?

[@Pierorocks]

Huh, never thought I'd say this but I might be able to buy that camera at the end of next year lol

[@karelsimunek5046]

Congrats on your ARRI. They make dream cameras

[@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen]

10 years old or not that’s still insane cinematic footage

[@STONEDECISION]

Carrie: oh my that’s a big camera. Anything else that big? Potato jet: ahh, no! 😂😂😂😂
