This actually looks like it could be a super cool video series where you analyze how the most popular camera/film technology has affected the expression of different filmmakers.
I'm a Brazilian working tô become a DP someday, but at the region I live in, there's not much oportunity tô use those high-end câmeras and lenses (used the bmpcc a lot) this kind of series is great for giving us the knowledge, once we have the oportunity tô work with those equipments , to choose the right equipment to the project. No words to describe how thankfull I'm right now, please keep going!
Yes I agree, this is what’s beautiful about a community! I can’t even imagine people from previous generations who started without all this information available for free on the internet and camera not being as accessible as today.
Been quite some time, good to have you back! Edit Since there’s not much videos on the platform about Film cameras and even less about post production of analog film, your video is really appreciated mate!
Arris' PL mount is today something of an industry standard in the film world and many lens manufacturers, such as Canon, Leica and Zeiss, have PL lenses in their range. The new mount is called LPL (large PL) and is wider (67 mm) and has a shorter index distance than the PL mount, this makes it easier to construct bright lenses. The combination of larger sensor and larger maximum aperture can make a big difference in how shallow depth of field and background sharpness can be achieved.
Great start of a hopefully longlasting series! Maybe you could add a series where you do the oppsite, look at a single movie (or like in this video) and explain the camera, lens and codec/film choice.
I work @Panavision and you have no idea how helpful this was. I've been asking these questions for years and you just answered them. thanks keep up the great work.
I never really paid attention much to cameras the fact that I prefer animation but this brought a new perspective to the style I intend to pick up even if it isn't needed.
When you said the Alexa Mini has one noticeable flaw I thought you were going to bring up the card slot. The bane of my life whenever I'm loading haha.
Thank you for another brilliant video! Your channel is a real gem; you manage to find info that no other channel explores, and turn it into in-depth, yet concise, asethtically appealing, and engaging short videos about the making of cinema. It’s a valuable talent and I greatly appreciate what you’re doing! P.S. after doing your series on lenses and cameras, would you be able to do one on film stocks?
My dream is to shoot on a Panaflex. All my favorite films have been shot on them. I think it has a look that _still_ can't be fully replicated to this day even with the best digital cameras and colorists.
Amazing video - one my favorites of yours, so far! As a film nerd, I'd love to see videos going through histories of film stocks or film cinema cameras - something like that! Keep up the awesome work!
Videos are great and super informative. Would love to see you go over different rigs and accessories, their functions and aesthetic applications, etc. Thanks!
Omg more of these videos pls this is awesome and super informative. Could you talk about some film or vintage Cameras in the second or third parts too?
Nothing has surpassed Arri Alexa. The inly camwra that equals it is the Panavision Millennium dxl2. It's not for sale, rental only. It uses a Red Monstro 8k sensor. It was used to shoot Amazon's 'Tales from the Loop'. Stunning.
Fascinating stuff. You don’t seem to hear much convo about cameras before the digital revolutionize I’ve noticed. I do wonder what would’ve deterred camera choice for a shoot when everything was still on film?
Hey Zach! You're right. I think a lot of choosing film cameras came down to ease of use (how good is the video tap, how clear is the viewfinder, is it easy to reconfigure into different camera builds, is it light, easy to reload, etc.) as well as their specs (frames per second, 3 or 4 perf, sync sound capable, speed ramping, etc.). Also what lenses/mount was used (Panavision lenses with a PV mount or PL lenses on an Arri camera).
I would add one extra choice. Nowadays we don't think about it that much unless we are in a conversation about the look, but in film, the size of the film would matter a lot. From 16, to Super 16, Super 35, Vistavision, Super Panavision 70mm, Ultra Panavision 70mm or even IMAX when it was introduced in the late 80s. Now, we can record in 4k in almost every camera, and, except for the look and the lens difference, we don't think about the sensor size that much. But back then, lens choice would mean more money on film, different editing equipment...
@@InDepthCine now here’s something I’d be amazed to see someday, a camera that can shoot both film and digital, either at the same time or separately haha. I’m actually surprised that’s not a thing yet
@@zacharyantle7940 Too expensive. What would be nice is a newer film camera that has a good monitor system that actually looks great. People sometimes hesitate about shooting film because the monitor gives them a look they don't like. Even if the actual film looks better than a digital image. The speed of their minds makes them think that what they see in the monitor is the real thing...
Worth noting that the color differences between modern cinema cameras (digital and celluloid) are becoming less important, with tools like FilmConvert and CineMatch that allow you to transform the colors of your source footage to nearly any other target camera or film stock
@@scottslotterbeck3796 Sadly, no. I was referring to the Panaflex Millennium XL2, a 35mm film camera that's been used on multiple movies including: - Star Trek 09 - Iron Man 2 - Thor - Man of Steel - Star Trek Into Darkness - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Cinderella - Mission: Impossible 4, 5 & 6 - Spectre - Batman v Superman - Wonder Woman & WW84 - Ready Player One - Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Among others.
I hope in a next part you mention the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. I havent used it yet but i hope to for future projects because i have heard good things about it.
Love this. Looking at the Alexa Mini, I love that you mention the card slot placement, but then Arri listens and fixes it, unlike a lot of other companies might have done. Have you ever used Nikon cameras on set? I know you said you love Ai-s Primes, me too!
fantastic video guys !!! cheers to the team ! can you guys do what indian films uses , I am from India a writer and filmmaker on the verge of starting my career
Can you do a "commercial" only camera and lenses video, where you discuss the most popular glass and cameras that professionals use to make high end commercials?
I don't want to see you get sucked into the gear based vortex of filmmaking youtube. That being said, your insight is great and I would love to hear you speak about the language of cinema and how different DOPs use that language to communicate different things.
Great video as always! Really interesting to get a look into these different cameras and looks. One thing that was bugging me a little though was that the voice over was panned a little to the right wich was distracting in headphones. Was it done on a field recorder with the built in stereo mic or something? If so I would advice you to use.a mono plugin to get it dead center. In Davinci resolve f.ex. I would use the "fill left" audio to put the right channel (the loudest) in both channels. Other than that, great :)
@@jv8studios Clearly stated "film and commercial industry" Might get shoo'ed along if you showed up with a A7siii even if the finished results are exceptional.
Your Honor footage ;) nice. Super interesting learning about these, and that small RED camera (didn't think RED would be making much of any headway in professional applications tbh).
What an amazing and interesting video. However, one major complaint and/or criticism is that now I feel envious that I don't have/haven't used any of these amazing cameras :(
Fast forward to Oct 2022 and DPs are choosing Zcam F6 over the Komodo... which wouldn't exist if Zcam hadn't carved a new lane in compact cinema shooting that didn't exist before.
Ok I'm really confused. At 6:15 you call Venice a large format but the text says full frame. Later you show several "large format" cameras but sensor sizes are all regular dslr full-frame except alexa 65. At 9:03 you call Komodo a Super 35 but quote at 10:20 says full-sized.
Hey, I love your Videos as always but I have got 2 questions I couldn‘t really find an answer for online. First question: Where does the „super“ name come from? Super 16 and super 35 mm sensor / film stock sizes aren‘t actually 16 mm or 35 mm in width, which is confusing to me. Second question: What is the definite difference between ISO and EI? What I have read online is that the Exposure Index isn‘t actually the same as ISO. Because you can‘t really change a cameras sensor base sensitivity. The only thing you can do is amplify the sensor (That‘s what happens when you increase ISO)
Regarding the "SUPER" prefix in sensor sizes and film stocks. I go back to shooting Super 8 in the 70's, including Anamorphic! Before Super 8, there was Regular 8mm amateur film. Reg 8 was 16mm film with a smaller perforation size on both sides. The film was on a small spool and was exposed twice in the camera, then slit down the middle and joined in the Lab. Around 1965, Kodak introduced Super 8 mm film in a cartridge, it had smaller perforations for increased image area (4x5.4mm) 16mm film had the same evolution, Super 16 got a larger image area by having only single sided perforations. Super 35mm followed the same philosophy, by using stock with increased image area. The names of Digital sensors are referenced to the Film Guages respectively. Full Frame being equivalent to an image area of film 36x24mm. Super 35mm is actualy closer to the APSC sensor size used in DSLR's. This is because 35mm motion picture cameras run the stock vertically with a 4 perf pull down, as opposed to Still Film Cameras which shoot the Full Frame with 8 perf horizontal (called Vistavision in Cine format developed by Paramount for large format film aquisition)
@@Elusive_Pete Which one you talking about Peter? Cause last I checked, many mainstream films are still shot on film without people even realizing. Like DC:s superhero films. Even though I don't like that superhero stuff that much, you can't say that those digitally shot low contrast Marvel movies look better. Also many high end TV shows like HBO:s Succession are shot on film, and you wouldn't realize. All you'll notice is that it looks stunning. Plus, I've never seen a digitally shot movie look like film myself.
So the width of a 35mm full frame sensor (assuming that's what the Arri mini is) is really about 28mm or so? I just discovered the other day that film for cinema cameras was usually fed vertically, not horizontally. So that should change what to expect in sensor dimensions from a FF 35MM unless it's really Super 35.
Try the Panavision Millennium dxl2. It equals the Alexa. Red has caught up. 'At Eternity's Gate' was shot on a Red. Beautiful. I would not hesitate to shoot on a Red now.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 I’ve used it, great camera, not at all like an Alexa, very differentf looks. It’s based on a RED sensor but w Panavision/lightiron color . It still carries a lot of the RED personality in its look but it is much better than a red, it only in its look but it’s user friendliness
@@scottslotterbeck3796 well, the dxl2 you can rent as well ;) ... in fact, as with all panavision cameras, that’s the only way anyone gets to use one, renting them.
at 6:28 am i seeing it right that the sensor of the camera is a separated part from the front of the Camera where the lens is? never mind... it is explained
@pureU4EA I can't wait to get one in the future. I'm currently a G85 user and love this camera, but the colors on those Blackmagic cameras sold me. I want to shoot my first feature on the 4k.
False colours are great for this. It takes away the guess work and need for a light meter. A lot of cameras come with false colours built in, and it's available on a lot of external monitor/recorders. You need to do a few tests to work out what it all means
@@nukliozz like if I were to change lenses or use different F stops I notice the look changes and I don’t know how to keep it consistent. When I’m in post I’ll have scenes lighter in one and darker in others.
@@chrisfern4699 I think it's John Seale who said this. Basically he shoots with higher ISO at all times and just uses NDs. So instead shifting between two different film stocks like 200 and 800, he choses higher one at all times like 800 ISO. He made an hour long talk about the production of Mad Max Fury Road and I think it is fascinating. He talked about challenges and advantages of shifting workflow to digital and things he learned at production.
@@chrisfern4699 It's all about limiting yourself. Use 1 lens for example. Max 2 lenses. Do not rely on the general rules. Trust in what your eye sees in the monitor. Keep it simple.
Did he say the camera is an important component in cinematography? I would say its the only component in cinematography. You can do with out lights, sound, crew, script, etc., but you can’t do cinematography with out a camera. So yeah.
6:16 The Sony Venice is NOT large format, Large format would be 65-70mm sensor or film size. 35mm is FULL FRAME. Not LF. You even referred to the Alexa mini as “35mm film style sensor” but called the Venice “large format” when it’s the same size…. These are both full-frame. Please get it right. There are people on here trying to learn and you have a platform. Thanks.
exposure index..base iso in camera..my Sony has 2 base isos..when you using EI you can't shoot at anything else but native ISO unlike in the normal mode like dlsr or mirrorless camera you can pick different ISOs above and below native ISO..is actually something amazing to use and you always give max DR out of your camera with the lowest noise floor possible (with good lighting of course)
Just a request, when you mention frame rates, could you please mention from lowest to fastest, instead of just saying the fastest, because some times we want certain scenes or whole movies shot on lower frame rate. Thanks
Great video. Could you do a comparison of the best cinema cameras under $10k or $8k and include blackmagic 6k pro? I'm looking to buy a cinema camera under $10k but I'm undecided.
There's a load of channels covering that kind of camera (Gerald Undone probably being the most in-depth IMO), what makes this channel unique is that it purely covers actual cinema industry cameras.
"The camera is an important component in cinematography."
Dang, I didn't think we'd get THIS in-depth.
This actually looks like it could be a super cool video series where you analyze how the most popular camera/film technology has affected the expression of different filmmakers.

Menapho, well James Cameron used Sony CineAlta Venice to shoot Avatar 2. So, it must good. I guess.
when will we get a camera with a 17 or 18 stop dynamic range?
at 6:28 am i seeing it right that the sensor of the camera is a separated part from the front of the Camera where the lens is? never mind... it is explained
Please more
I keep telling myself that Blackmagics are the consumers Arri because of the colors...
@pureU4EA I can't wait to get one in the future. I'm currently a G85 user and love this camera, but the colors on those Blackmagic cameras sold me. I want to shoot my first feature on the 4k.
New to filmmaking here! Does anyone know how I can keep my shots visually consistent when shooting on set?
Simplify your lighting.
False colours are great for this. It takes away the guess work and need for a light meter. A lot of cameras come with false colours built in, and it's available on a lot of external monitor/recorders. You need to do a few tests to work out what it all means
@@nukliozz like if I were to change lenses or use different F stops I notice the look changes and I don’t know how to keep it consistent. When I’m in post I’ll have scenes lighter in one and darker in others.
@@chrisfern4699 I think it's John Seale who said this. Basically he shoots with higher ISO at all times and just uses NDs. So instead shifting between two different film stocks like 200 and 800, he choses higher one at all times like 800 ISO.
He made an hour long talk about the production of Mad Max Fury Road and I think it is fascinating. He talked about challenges and advantages of shifting workflow to digital and things he learned at production.
@@chrisfern4699 It's all about limiting yourself. Use 1 lens for example. Max 2 lenses. Do not rely on the general rules. Trust in what your eye sees in the monitor. Keep it simple.
Did he say the camera is an important component in cinematography? I would say its the only component in cinematography. You can do with out lights, sound, crew, script, etc., but you can’t do cinematography with out a camera. So yeah.
I'm curious abt Arri 416. If it records image to film, how it can have sdi out for video monitoring?
Where does the thumbnail come from ?
6:16 The Sony Venice is NOT large format, Large format would be 65-70mm sensor or film size. 35mm is FULL FRAME. Not LF. You even referred to the Alexa mini as “35mm film style sensor” but called the Venice “large format” when it’s the same size…. These are both full-frame. Please get it right. There are people on here trying to learn and you have a platform. Thanks.
Can you explain about the global shutter? 09:24 tnx
Great video. What is EI @3:18?
exposure index..base iso in camera..my Sony has 2 base isos..when you using EI you can't shoot at anything else but native ISO unlike in the normal mode like dlsr or mirrorless camera you can pick different ISOs above and below native ISO..is actually something amazing to use and you always give max DR out of your camera with the lowest noise floor possible (with good lighting of course)
From which movie is screenshot on cover of clip?☝️
Just a request, when you mention frame rates, could you please mention from lowest to fastest, instead of just saying the fastest, because some times we want certain scenes or whole movies shot on lower frame rate. Thanks
Great video. Could you do a comparison of the best cinema cameras under $10k or $8k and include blackmagic 6k pro? I'm looking to buy a cinema camera under $10k but I'm undecided.
Fx6 c300 mk2?
There's a load of channels covering that kind of camera (Gerald Undone probably being the most in-depth IMO), what makes this channel unique is that it purely covers actual cinema industry cameras.
@@user-dh5fp4gw1b
Both of them are not close to blackmagic 6k pro.
Please Do canon c500 mark 2
we looked up as well who is the best i cant tell but the most for sure are red... panasonic... etc... other cant tell red is hug 55k$
explain all ARRI cameras
Have you ever wondered what the result would look if using a cinema camera for stop motion?
