Is Hollywood’s $100,000 Camera Worth it? - First Experience with ARRI Alexa Mini LF

[@scottievee330]

It's not an irrational fear? If you are hired for a job, you should be the best you can at that job. If the person that hired you knows there's gonna be some learning on site... no foul. There are so many different levels of knowledge in every direction.

[@BradyBessette]

I miss it already

[@connormccaskill]

Me too man

[@Ranger7Studios]

That's what i love about the Arri cameras. They have an online, virtual menu system that you can learn from. I found that helpful when I got my Alexa Mini certification. I actually got to see how it worked before I got the camera in my hands. It was most helpful. The film looks great!

[@connormccaskill]

Yeah I had no idea it existed but it is so helpful!

[@davey_gravy]

I had no idea you could play with the Arri's settings and interface online, thats really cool and can imagine that would be great to get yourself familiar with the layout.

[@connormccaskill]

Oh yeah absolutely! I wish I knew about it before shoot day ha

[@VlogCity]

Can’t wait to see the full film!

[@connormccaskill]

Same man! I’m hoping the final edit turns out well

[@KofiYeboah]

I went down to like 3 frames a second at the end 😂

[@makeperceive]

Intentional artistic choice of course

[@connormccaskill]

Naturally ha

What’s a good budget tripod for the Alexa Mini

[@harryhondo1013]

What's interesting is that a lot of affordable cameras today are shooting 6K, 8K, and even 12K, but the $100K Hollywood camera only shoots 4K.

[@nicoharken6704]

Resolution is quite irrelevant. Most people would never know you shot in 8k or 12k unless you zoom in. Arri focuses on making extremely high-quality pixels that render beautiful color and dynamic range. Even the Alexa classic which only shoots 2k has better performance than most modern cine cameras, but everyone has different work flows so it's certainly geared more toward larger crews.

[@dennypilot9856]

Resolution is what you got a Venice 2 for

[@fabipuello]

Thank you for sharing the experience!

[@connormccaskill]

Absolutely! Thank you for hanging out

[@kevinmahoney1180]

Great video! How did you like the performance of Hollyland Pyro S?

[@C7Mediaart]

good video and info. can't wait to see the final movie.

[@connormccaskill]

Same man! It was good to see you on set

[@83442handle]

7:42 i was hoping you would been nerdy enough to interpolate in post

[@connormccaskill]

That would’ve be funny! Damn wish I thought to do that ha

[@Marcus_Visbal]

Where is this movie getting released?

[@connormccaskill]

I'll have in update on that in a future video! Keep an eye out on the 11th

[@Marcus_Visbal]

@@connormccaskill hell yea 🤙

[@mattthecinematographer1915]

ummm... what hollyland monitor is that??? thats gotta be something that isn't released yet... looks like a 7" .. also , one of the reasons ALEX EV sensors have their look is because of the OLPF design

[@_FrontFootFilms_]

Well, first of all, you can get one used now for 55 - 60,000.

[@barrywilliams2881]

I agree when you set up everything right it looks amazing but if you don’t it looks like everything else.

[@InfamousStar1]

12:42 Agreed. I personally own two ARRIs (Alexa Mini and Amira), two REDs (Monstro and Ranger Gemini) and four SONYs (two FX6 and two FX3), and each of them truly are different tools for different jobs, all serving their purpose with their individual strengths and weaknesses compared to one another. But man, that Alexa image… 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
