Having received his ACS Accreditation late last year hard-working DP Earle Dresner ACS also recently felt the need to upgrade his camera of choice. The camera he decided on was a new ALEXA Mini.
Dresner explained, I owned an ALEXA Classic and really loved it but I felt it had done its time and was starting to shoot a lot more productions which were requesting ARRIRAW or 4K and also a lot of anamorphic so I decided to upgrade. The ALEXA Mini ticked all the boxes for resolution, size, weight and high speed and I knew it would be a great camera in most situations.
As a cinematographer who shoots a lot of television commercials Dresner has a look hes known for and aims for each time, a look the ALEXA Mini could help him achieve and maintain.
He continued, I love choosing the right style for each job whether it be anamorphic or spherical, handheld, tracking or shooting from a drone. I wanted a camera that would excel with all of those and 200fps covers most high-speed requirements.
He added, I like to own my own camera so its always there if I want to use it regardless of budget and I know its in great condition. The Mini produces the same beautiful images I got with the ALEXA with the added bonus of ARRI RAW, 4K, 4:3, 200fps and a small, light body for hand held, drones and rigs. When a producer or director calls about a job, I can be 90% sure Ive got the best camera for it. I also bought the WCU-4 which plugs directly into the Mini and can be used to control camera settings, very useful when the camera is in a splash box at the beach. Another great advantage is the built in electronic NDs. I can avoid any chance of ghosting or double reflections by only having to use one filter in front of the lens and when the lights fading and youre trying to get that last set up, flicking a switch saves a lot of time.
Earle has used his ALEXA Mini in almost every shooting environment you can think of - on a drone over water, rigged to the bonnet of a car or squeezed onto the dash, hand held on a Movi stabilised system or in production mode with a big zoom or a periscope lens and its clear hes pleased with how the camera performs and what it delivers.
He concluded, The camera has so far performed fantastically in every situation. Also, from the moment I ordered the camera, the team at ARRI Australia have been great. When you make a large investment on a piece of technology, its comforting to know their professional set up is there if support is required. They are friendly, knowledgeable people who are always happy to answer questions or fix something at a moments notice.
Hi guys
I just had an amazing opportunity to be on the set of "Mary Poppins Returns" in London with the legendary Cinematographer Dion Beebe ACS ASC.
During the time I was there we shot at Shepparton Studios and a fascinating night shoot at Middle Temple, where the night shoots were just incredible but so damn cold.
Being on set in the famous Shepparton Studios was just so surreal I actually felt like I was at Cheery Tree Lane, the smell as soon as you walk in the studios, the beautiful scent of Cherry blossoms that was such an experience I will never forget it, and to be surrounded by all these very talented people like Dion Beebe and Director, Rob Marshall. Watching them work together is a great honour and a real eye opener.
If I wasnt shadowing Dion who is such a great guy, I was with the camera crew and my favourite experience was when I sat down in front of the wheels. The focus puller Al said "Why dont you have go", and I was so nervous but it was so awesome at the same time. It didnt take long to get the hang of it and I loved it, then I hear a voice behind me saying Are you any good?" and it was Dion, Al said Ive seen worse", so Dion stood behind me looking at the monitor, what a rush that was!
To top it all off, the Camera Operator and Al said "I think we might have a new camera operator" .How fantastic!! My thanks to Dion Beebe ACS ASC and the crew on Mary Poppins Returns for making me feel so very welcome. Thanks also to the ACS for assistance.
