Arri Alexa

What is, um, Dune III filmed on, do you know?

Um, pretty sure they're all shot on Arri Alexa.

Um, I...

Like it-- That's all digital.

They have all of the, like the, the raw footage.

Oh, that's another cost that we didn't actually talk about was going back to production, you have, say, an Arri Alexa 35 camera.

So this is a camera that shoots incredible footage, 4K.

I mean, this is Hollywood standard cinema camera at this point.

Moving on, we have the Phantom LUTs for the Nikon ZR.

That's Arri Alexa emulation for Red Lock 3G10.

Jonny, do you want to talk about that?

Yeah, John Famularo is very, I mean, his Phantom Lats are very well known.

How the team engineered Motor City's period 1970s Detroit look.

Side-by-side film tests on 35 millimeter and Arri Alexa helped the team reverse engineer a great film look for their digital shoot.

Pulling off an ambitious 44-location shoot in just 27 days.

That's nuts.

We shot tests on film, which was something, um, I early on in the process raised my hand about and being like, "Hey, we can, we can shoot some tests on film and really design our look." And like, you always say after the fact, "Oh, we're gonna make our digital look like film."

Mm.

"Oh, let's make our Arri Alexa look like film." Well, what does that actually look like? And so we wanted to from the very beginning see what that looked like.

And so we shot side-by-side tests of, of 35 and Alexa.

I think-

They're like, "What if you take that Arri Alexa and flip it on its side-

Yeah

... and film this vertically?"

The first is what he calls the Uber analogy.

People are always asking him what kind of camera he prefers, like is he a RED camera guy or an Arri Alexa guy?

Ugh.

And he says he simply doesn't care.
