Ryan, teaching us very important film making tips and tutorials. We don't pay him directly, and he always delivers. You are awesome dude! We really appreciate you!
Your wonderful explanation at the beginning aside, you've made this very very very clear all along. The show has always been about progression. The wonderful thing about TH-cam is you can go back and watch episodes if youre still at the low budget end. But complaining that a youtube channel doesn't keep making cheap DIY episodes because "you" don't want to progress doesn't mean that the channel has to stay stale. Besides.....who doesn't want to see cool gear??? :)
I love this type of episode, and kudos to the way you addressed it at the start. I work in post-prod so I never get to play with these production toys, but the Mini especially is starting to be used more and more in both TV shows and features, and so this is great for me to watch and learn where my footage is coming from. Appreciated!
Long time Film Riot viewer here. I remember watching your show back in the early 2010s where I was lucky enough to pick up two of these anamorphic lenses, which I've loved for years and agree with you completely. Back then, no one was buying them and they were all over youtube. Got two 35mm lenses for around $600. Blows my mind how I'm now watching a FIlm Riot video about them. It really has come full circle! Keep up the great work guys, you have always been who I've recommended people to who are looking to get started.
I'm a shortfilm maker and shot both of my shorts on the Alexa with Lomo Anamorphic lenses (second one with Alexa mini). I love the look and have positive experiences with this combo. It's expensive but I was incredibly lucky to get sponsorships at a very low price. My DoP is also an Alexa teacher so it felt very comfortable with him and that camera. We shot Log C, ProRes4444XQ and first film was cropped to 2.39:1 and second film will be (still in post) 2:1. My only complaint would be that it's not a good choice if you want a very sharp look, the look is more soft, creamy and cinematic.
Good luck ! (I'm 14 and i make some videos that's fun and 'think that will be my "Job Later" sorry if I don't speek a perfect english but I'm French !)
Thank you for upgrading your videos to the next level. Personally, 5 years ago I was at your DIY level tutorial. Now... this is more my level. If you grow, I grow too. People complaining need to go back and watch your old stuff, or graduate to the next level already:)
Just the Video for my Anamorphic Lens Playlist. One thing I really noticed about my DIY Anamorphic Lens was the _feeling_ it gave to the Camera, the way the Panning speeds differed due to the squeezing. My Lens Adapter has no issues with close and distant focusing and uses no Diopters.
I feel you. I mean, I understand that my subscribers really wanna meet me and what not, as I'm soon reaching 10 subs. It's not that I don't care about any of my 8 subscribers or anything, but, privacy is privacy, man.
Just want to say as a camera op/dop still trying to break into the industry in the UK, I really appreciate this, not only because I could geek out at the amazing look this camera and lenses can provide, but also I'll probably not shit myself if I get the opportunity to work with this gear in the future.
So first you video-people torture the engineers with " we want more res, higher quality, give us 2 K, give us 4K" and now you are looking for ways to make the quality WORSE? Now, seriously …
+Ernst Stavro Blofeld imagine scanning film at a lower bit/resolution. all the flaws are covered up by compression and banding issues. its about being able to have the options to use any method needed to tell your story.
So stoked that you guys got an Alexa on the show! It's a beautiful camera, and the images (especially with those lenses) are glorious. Can't wait to get my hands on that kind of setup one day!
I'm really loving the image of the Alexa Mini, but there's just something about the anamorphic lenses and their focus that feels off to me. When I'm looking at an image with a shallow depth of field, it looks like the out-of-focus areas appear warped in a circle-like shape. I can definitely see it in the shots with the natural scenery. That could be just the Alexa's de-squeezing feature and I can see that effect being used for dream-like sequences. But overall, not too fond of it if I need shallow focus for scenes that aren't supposed to be dreamy-looking. Then again, it depends on the story I want to tell. That's probably it. Thanks, Film Riot!
People are always going to hate on everything! Some people just thrive on it. I think that yall are doing a great job and love the work that you put out. It has helped me become a better cinematographer and photographer at the same time. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
You Guys are so good, why aren't you making block buster movies all ready ? and don't tell me it's the money,, it's the money isn't it. Anyway my girl friend has a ranch in Gainesville, Tx with 100 plus acres . I think your in Texas , if it's close to you and you need for a location you would be welcome to use it. And if you come to Colorado we have a really cool location for you. best of luck, you should be making millions by now.
Wow, thank you so much for this. 👍 I am shooting a short on an Alexa with an anamorphic and I wanted to make sure I was prepared. There are so many videos for smartphone anamophics, but not enough for cinema cameras.
I use an Arri Alexa and the menu system on the Arris is miles easier and better than the Canon cinema range. Simplier is better if you ask me, all the features are still there.
Awesome! Alexa always make me cry and think about kicking my dslr to space lol. I Agree, now make some Black Magic!! Please compare the pocket and the 5D!! Best regards!!!!
Really cool! Hey, you might already have done an episode on this, but you mention near the end the importance of choosing lenses based on what you want the audience to feel. Do you have a episode breaking down the different lenses and different feels? Or do you know where one can find a good explanation about that? Thanks a bunch. Film Riot rocks!
THANK YOU RYAN!! (btw, don't apologize about testing out expensive gear. I've been watching you guys from the start and it's nice to see how far you've come)
I think Film Riot gets too concerned about scaring off DIY fans. What I like about Film Riot is watching the progress from amateur to professional. I've enjoyed the journey from Josh's pimply face in "Teleportation Tourette's Syndrome" to whatever the hell that is in "Create Your Own Snapchat Effects". I hope one day they'll be showing us behind the scenes of a block buster movie made by Triune Films.
I live for anamorphic lenses....they are so tied to the history of cinema (70s cinema especially) that every time a DP or director uses them to shoot a movie it automatically makes me tune in a little bit more.
Even if this camera has it's high price I think it's very interesting to know what it can actually do. And I am a filmmaker who works with lower budget equipment. But who knows when you get the chance to work with something like the Alexa Mini in the future? Rental houses could make it possible soon. x) So thanks for your video!
can i just say before i even watched the video i was going to respectfully say that i would like some more diy stuff turned on the video and now totally agree with you great videos keep it up man
WB / DCEU kind of let down not just myself but a lot of people with Suicide Squad. they really need to make a stand-alone Joker / Harley Quinn movie with Jared Leto and Margot Robbie! What can we as the subscribers and fans of film riot / Triune Films do to get them to consider you all for the project? I personally feel you guys will be the best fit to allow it to be the best movie for WB/DCEU!
I know at the beginning Ryan went over why they're doing higher budget camera reviews, and I agree with him but would still love to see some lower budget camera stuff, I loved the osmo review/ string of videos. Also have you used any anamorphic lenses on the GH4?
That's roughly my dream set-up right there! Nice! Would be interesting to see you guys using a Panasonic GX85 next time! That BIS and fine image. If stuff like that is what's init for the GH5, then: oh boy!
Personally think it's grand that you're bringing in the big guns...or mini-big guns...more for the learnin'! Either way, solidly handled disclaimer that you shouldn't have had to do!
I love the look you get out of arri cameras. I'm very curious as to how much footage you could possibly record to that 128gb cfast card... like 3 minutes? You also didn't say, but does the Arri have slow motion at all? What camera would you recommend to shot match with it if you did need slow motion?
Does it allow you the ability to undercrank? I'm trying to figure out a way to shoot at 22fps to add punch to my action scenes. Kind of like the old martial arts films.
Scott Wetzler One 128gb card is about 46-47 minutes of 2K, around 17 minutes in 3.2k, and about 13 minutes in UHD. This is all based on ProRes 4444. XQ will slice those numbers pretty hard. Yes, you can undercrank. I think you can set any fps to a few decimals from 0.5-200.
Ryan you son of a gun, now I'm looking at Alexa footage and I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with gear now 😭😭😭 lmao but good video man. Did it tingle when you touched that camera? I think it would
Rely nice ! I didn't now anamorphic lenses worked that way ! I think there are filters (like an N/D filter), that help emulated the anamorphic look (at least in the boket). Have you ever try some ? Is it interesting ?
I would guess it's due to BlackMagic being less reliable/consistent than other manufacturers. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Ursa owner (full size, not the mini) but in general things like the FS7, Offerings from Canon's cinema line or Red's are easier to deal with. Then again they've been doing it longer too so maybe in a couple of years BlackMagic will be in the same boat.
They're doing well for their age but its absolutely inexcusable to promise a camera with global shutter, put it on presale and release it nearly a year after the promised date with NO global shutter and a cyan cast.
I really wish you guys would do a video about the GH4, I'd really love to hear your thoughts on it, especially since you were considering getting it before you chose the C100.
There aren't a lot of filmmakers out there, creativity takes effort, a big majority aren't willing to do that. A 9 to 5 job pays and is little less effort, so why be creative when you can be technical.
If Film Riot prepared you to shoot a film with an Alexa Mini, you shouldn't shoot with an Alexa Mini. Professional cameras are for professionals. As a professional television producer, I enjoy hearing about this gear and seeing it demonstrated, but I hire professionals to actually use the gear, and you should, too. DPs and Cam Ops get the big bucks because you can't replace experience with a few TH-cam videos.
Hey Ryan, the music you used for the demo; is it something we can use that is royalty free? Free or not, what's the name of it, and where would I find it? Thanks~
I rather want gear (and a good location and story and everything) because if I got money I have to decide which gear to get and then I'll probably think I bought the wrong gear :D
+PhotOZ - Quadrocopter-Videos and more I would spend it all on gear and end up not having any budget to pay actors... But I'd have sweet toys to play with !!!!🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥📽📽📽📽📽
Welcome to film riot theshowthattakesthemysteryoutoftheeffectsandtechniquesofyourfavoritehollywoodfilmsI'myourhost.. Ryan Connolly
haha! That's fair.
you made my day, thanks ;)
ifyourrebuddingfilmmakerentrepreneurinnovatordomaindotcomistheplacetogointhenextideayou I said it a million times......
Ryan, teaching us very important film making tips and tutorials. We don't pay him directly, and he always delivers. You are awesome dude! We really appreciate you!
Dude, those lenses have the looks I've been wanting.
Same here. First time using them too. I absolutely love the look they get. Such an organic and classic feel.
Because it's made in USSR)
+Film Riot These lenses are beautiful, but what was the soundtrack used in the montage in the second half?
Your wonderful explanation at the beginning aside, you've made this very very very clear all along. The show has always been about progression. The wonderful thing about TH-cam is you can go back and watch episodes if youre still at the low budget end. But complaining that a youtube channel doesn't keep making cheap DIY episodes because "you" don't want to progress doesn't mean that the channel has to stay stale. Besides.....who doesn't want to see cool gear??? :)
You're absolutely right! I think it's good to see this stuff to get inspiration and ideas how to make great films.
"Who doesn't want to see cool gear" *you are damn right !*
I love this type of episode, and kudos to the way you addressed it at the start.

Here's the first short: vimeo.com/186196503 (oh and this film had grain and flicker added)
Bloody good video. Wouldn't find this type of content at this standard anywhere else. Thanks Ryan.
That's a high compliment! Thank you. So glad you got something out of the episode.
+Film Riot always do Ryan. Often a lot better than actual film school too.
I'm really baffled as to how you guys don't even have 1 mil subs yet. More people need to know about this channel!
+Giancarlo Martino have you been to film school mate
I want to be a filmmaker when I'm older, I'm 13 right now, and you guys are rad for doing this. I've learned so many things
you can be a filmmaker right now! Just do it man record your friends!
+Alexander Rzb True story Guy !
That's awesome man. Start making your films now! By the time you hit 20 you'll be a filmmaking machine!
+Film Riot good plan, I'll write, shoot, edit, and repeat. ^-^ 👍
Good luck ! (I'm 14 and i make some videos that's fun and 'think that will be my "Job Later" sorry if I don't speek a perfect english but I'm French !)
Thank you for upgrading your videos to the next level. Personally, 5 years ago I was at your DIY level tutorial. Now... this is more my level. If you grow, I grow too. People complaining need to go back and watch your old stuff, or graduate to the next level already:)
Same here. Been a while. Want to grow in my craft. Great channel btw!
he's showing us the settings like any of us will ever lay hands on it. lemme see footageeeee
That's a defeatist attitude.
+Film Riot work hard, save some money, and renting is your best friend. 👍🏻😎😉
I love your content. And I hope you guys will keep producing great free content for years to come.
Thanks man! That's our plan. :)
Those shots were absolutely beautiful. Like a Chris Nolan Dark Knight kind of look and feel.
Just the Video for my Anamorphic Lens Playlist. One thing I really noticed about my DIY Anamorphic Lens was the _feeling_ it gave to the Camera, the way the Panning speeds differed due to the squeezing. My Lens Adapter has no issues with close and distant focusing and uses no Diopters.
Hey guys i just reached 300 subs! Please stop coming to my house and knocking on my door guys, jeez.
Fame is hard, man...
Yeah, I have 74 subs and the phone doesn't stop ringing!
I feel you. I mean, I understand that my subscribers really wanna meet me and what not, as I'm soon reaching 10 subs. It's not that I don't care about any of my 8 subscribers or anything, but, privacy is privacy, man.
This gear is too expensive! I want the old DIY Film Riot!
hahaha! mate your a legend
hahaha
That makes exactly zero sense!
Makes Zero sense!!! LOL Great channel btw!
Thats why they rented the camera and gear. We got to move foward, not stick on old manners.
Sketches are fun. Small, less than 2 minutes, with one VFX shot. That's what got me hooked on FR....
Alexa Mini Vs Ursa Mini 4.6k :)
Alexa... Alexa always wins. It has no competition.
I'm sure it wins, but I wanna see how the Ursa keeps up. Similar to FS7 vs C300 mkii
URSA mini 4.6k is amazingggggg
yeah... Film Riot please make a review for Blackmagic Cameras!
A person who makes fantastic videos also watches film riot? I love pbl
Just want to say as a camera op/dop still trying to break into the industry in the UK, I really appreciate this, not only because I could geek out at the amazing look this camera and lenses can provide, but also I'll probably not shit myself if I get the opportunity to work with this gear in the future.
+Mark Nugent (Camera In Mind) That's amazing to hear. That's exactly why we made this episode. Thanks man.
So first you video-people torture the engineers with " we want more res, higher quality, give us 2 K, give us 4K" and now you are looking for ways to make the quality WORSE? Now, seriously …
+Ernst Stavro Blofeld imagine scanning film at a lower bit/resolution. all the flaws are covered up by compression and banding issues. its about being able to have the options to use any method needed to tell your story.
Jon Christopherson Is it really needed to tell the story?
I'd say it's just a useless whim.
The lomo lenses looked fantastic. Almost had a "Cooke look" type of feel from what I have seen. Really great vintage look.
Those anamorphic lens flares are so fucking rad
So stoked that you guys got an Alexa on the show! It's a beautiful camera, and the images (especially with those lenses) are glorious. Can't wait to get my hands on that kind of setup one day!
Seeing that footage I just thought about how cool Proximity and Tell would have looked like with this camera.
Is it just me that thinks Stark looks a lot like Tom Hardy?
I really appreciate these walkthroughs of high-end gear. Thanks to them, I'm not afraid to leave my dslr and rent this for big projects!
Can't wait for a new film riot short shot with this setup! Please let it be
I'm really loving the image of the Alexa Mini, but there's just something about the anamorphic lenses and their focus that feels off to me. When I'm looking at an image with a shallow depth of field, it looks like the out-of-focus areas appear warped in a circle-like shape. I can definitely see it in the shots with the natural scenery.

That's a pretty powerful cam and lens combo.
People are always going to hate on everything! Some people just thrive on it. I think that yall are doing a great job and love the work that you put out. It has helped me become a better cinematographer and photographer at the same time. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Love this Ryan, don't ever stop doing what you doing. We will hopefully all get to use an Alexa Mini one day so this is very helpful!
i love how he tells a story with beautiful quality even if just for a review of lenses, amazing job Film Riot...
That footage from the Alexa Mini looks amazing
I think this combination would be great for a movie which takes time in the 60's or something like that. And as always, great Episode!
You Guys are so good, why aren't you making block buster movies all ready ? and don't tell me it's the money,, it's the money isn't it.

I showed my girlfriend this video. And when the sexy time - Alexa body shots came on she's like "so this is what you watch" 😂
That... that was beautiful. Yah'll are amazing, don't you ever forget that!
Beautiful! Thanks for making vids like this. No one showcases equipment quite like you guys.
Awesome! Alexa always make me cry and think about kicking my dslr to space lol.
I Agree, now make some Black Magic!! Please compare the pocket and the 5D!!
Best regards!!!!
That image quality is insane😮
Ooooo anamorphic 😃😄
And there's tons of affordable options for shooting anamorphic.
its episodes like these that make you look experienced in a set that has more expensive gear.
Really cool! Hey, you might already have done an episode on this, but you mention near the end the importance of choosing lenses based on what you want the audience to feel. Do you have a episode breaking down the different lenses and different feels? Or do you know where one can find a good explanation about that? Thanks a bunch. Film Riot rocks!
Oh my - the shot at 7:15 is a total throwback for me, total USSR cinema look... fs131.www.ex.ua/show/14098525/14098525.jpg?1600
Great stuff
This video was published on my 19th birthday!
Happy birthday man!
THANK YOU RYAN!! (btw, don't apologize about testing out expensive gear. I've been watching you guys from the start and it's nice to see how far you've come)
Id love to see you guys do a video on product shooting, the video you did of the Arri is beautiful in itself
kill me, one day I will own an alexa and a set of anamorphic lenses
I think Film Riot gets too concerned about scaring off DIY fans. What I like about Film Riot is watching the progress from amateur to professional. I've enjoyed the journey from Josh's pimply face in "Teleportation Tourette's Syndrome" to whatever the hell that is in "Create Your Own Snapchat Effects". I hope one day they'll be showing us behind the scenes of a block buster movie made by Triune Films.
The footage looked beautiful!
Shot on this setup last month. Loved it
Very nice episode!! It would be nice to see a "battle of cameras " like Blackmagic pocket vs gh4 / c500 vs fs5 fs7 etc ! Great show guys!!
I live for anamorphic lenses....they are so tied to the history of cinema (70s cinema especially) that every time a DP or director uses them to shoot a movie it automatically makes me tune in a little bit more.

So thanks for your video!
can i just say before i even watched the video i was going to respectfully say that i would like some more diy stuff turned on the video and now totally agree with you great videos keep it up man
Worked a Week in Munich @ Arri Studios and saw how the Alexa's Produced ;) Greetings from Germany
btw i did also tested the Alexa Studio :P
Haha I remember ryan saying the same thing on the time freeze episode. Totally get where you are coming from!! We appreciate all you teach us man :)
Awesome camera, lenses, and episode.
One day but for now ill be slapping on an Alexa Mini sticker on the side of my phone case
WB / DCEU kind of let down not just myself but a lot of people with Suicide Squad. they really need to make a stand-alone Joker / Harley Quinn movie with Jared Leto and Margot Robbie! What can we as the subscribers and fans of film riot / Triune Films do to get them to consider you all for the project? I personally feel you guys will be the best fit to allow it to be the best movie for WB/DCEU!

I know at the beginning Ryan went over why they're doing higher budget camera reviews, and I agree with him but would still love to see some lower budget camera stuff, I loved the osmo review/ string of videos. Also have you used any anamorphic lenses on the GH4?
That's roughly my dream set-up right there! Nice!
Would be interesting to see you guys using a Panasonic GX85 next time! That BIS and fine image. If stuff like that is what's init for the GH5, then: oh boy!
Personally think it's grand that you're bringing in the big guns...or mini-big guns...more for the learnin'! Either way, solidly handled disclaimer that you shouldn't have had to do!
+Tom thank you sir.
All in a days work peeps
Keep up the good work. Love seeing the spectrum that you cover.
I love the look you get out of arri cameras. I'm very curious as to how much footage you could possibly record to that 128gb cfast card... like 3 minutes? You also didn't say, but does the Arri have slow motion at all? What camera would you recommend to shot match with it if you did need slow motion?
+Scott Wetzler The Mini can shoot up to 200fps. The 128gb card was read at an hour.
Does it allow you the ability to undercrank? I'm trying to figure out a way to shoot at 22fps to add punch to my action scenes. Kind of like the old martial arts films.
+Scott Wetzler do it in post
Scott Wetzler One 128gb card is about 46-47 minutes of 2K, around 17 minutes in 3.2k, and about 13 minutes in UHD. This is all based on ProRes 4444. XQ will slice those numbers pretty hard.
Yes, you can undercrank. I think you can set any fps to a few decimals from 0.5-200.
Scott Wetzler if you can shoot at 200 god you can defenetly shoot slow mo
Great episode, nice to see some pro gear reviewed in a simple way
Ryan you son of a gun, now I'm looking at Alexa footage and I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with gear now 😭😭😭 lmao but good video man. Did it tingle when you touched that camera? I think it would
youtube seriously isnt doing the footage any justice with its compression... but then there's plenty of footage from Vimeo
Dream setup!!
I love Film Riot. Like, I learn so much from you guys and it's awesome
film riot should be teaching this stuff on iphones !
I see u at 1 million in 2 months ! congrats for that !
amazing review! love the anamorphic lens imperfections!
great video as always guys!
THANK YOU. This is the video I needed!
Rely nice ! I didn't now anamorphic lenses worked that way !
I think there are filters (like an N/D filter), that help emulated the anamorphic look (at least in the boket). Have you ever try some ? Is it interesting ?
why do you guys never cover black magic cameras ? like the mini Ursa 4.6k
In their NAB 2014 episode they had an interview with someone from Blackmagic about the Ursa
Because they lie and never live up to promises.
I would guess it's due to BlackMagic being less reliable/consistent than other manufacturers. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Ursa owner (full size, not the mini) but in general things like the FS7, Offerings from Canon's cinema line or Red's are easier to deal with. Then again they've been doing it longer too so maybe in a couple of years BlackMagic will be in the same boat.
Fully agree with this. For their age Black Magic are doing really well, they could become a problem for the other companies very quickly.
They're doing well for their age but its absolutely inexcusable to promise a camera with global shutter, put it on presale and release it nearly a year after the promised date with NO global shutter and a cyan cast.
It looks so amazing
Aboslutely beautiful stuff! Id love to get my hands on an alexa
Curious to see those anamorphic lenses on a GH4 since it also g]has in-camera de-squeeze - useful for those of us on lower budgets
I really wish you guys would do a video about the GH4, I'd really love to hear your thoughts on it, especially since you were considering getting it before you chose the C100.
Amazing Episode!
I only have one question.. Did you color grade the footage that you shot with the Alexa Mini? Or that was directly what you got?
Looked slightly graded, it would still look great though ungraded.
Great episode!
Film riot? Why? Why you guys didn't reach 1M subscribers yet? Like just why!!!
There aren't a lot of filmmakers out there, creativity takes effort, a big majority aren't willing to do that. A 9 to 5 job pays and is little less effort, so why be creative when you can be technical.
Check again
Who else wanna see Ryan teach a cat how to be a dog !? xD
you should do a video on focus pulling
they have
They already did that sh*t!!
Like your idea! Great channel btw!
Again, Film Riot did and entire video on focus.
Very interesting episode, thanks ryan! :)

Hey Ryan, the music you used for the demo; is it something we can use that is royalty free? Free or not, what's the name of it, and where would I find it? Thanks~
Does humming the instrument tabs still count as copyright instead of using the actual song and just the sound of your humming as the song?
JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ the shots from the alexa are too putiful
Lovin me lomo lenses
Those lenses are the sexiest I've ever seen.
Did you try the lenses with your c100? How does it compare?
Once again great episode!

well you got me there
