As a filmmaker who started when there was no digital format available (only film), I have seen the evolution of the digital image to what it is now – very large and very detailed and clean and sharp. So much so, that the pendulum is now swinging the other way to make images less digital.
Lenses are certainly a way to take the “edge off” as you say.
Arri has added the texture feature to the assets available when you shoot with the Alexa 35. I’m sure you all know that the texture feature allows the cinematographer to bake in a look. What are anyone’s thoughts of this option? I’m about to try a texture on an upcoming film I will be shooting. At first, I was a little scared to try it because I’m not one who like filters, but I am looking on this as if the texture is allowing me to kind of step back in time for more of a grainy, film look while still being able to take advantage of the wonderful digital world that is available now.
It seems like the technology of cameras and color science and formats is evolving so quickly now.
I’m interested to know what others think.
Hello Eamonn,
Interesting.
I was going to ask Roger and the forum members what they thought of the in-camera textures in the Arri Alexa 35 also. I’ve shot two films on the Arri Alexa 35 just recently and I am about to shoot another. For the first two I didn’t use the texture feature, but on this one, I am going to. I will be happy to do the survey. I look forward to hearing what Roger and others think. I like the textures feature.
