February 24, 2023
Hollywood Trusts the Alexa
Sensor Size
One of the primary reasons why the ARRI camera system's sensor is trusted by Hollywood cinematographers is its size. The sensor size of the ARRI camera system is larger than most other cameras on the market, which allows for better depth of field and more control over the image. The larger sensor allows for more light to enter the camera, which results in better low-light performance and a higher signal-to-noise ratio.
Dynamic Range
The dynamic range of the ARRI camera system's sensor is another reason why it is trusted by Hollywood cinematographers. The camera system is capable of capturing an incredibly wide dynamic range, 14-stops, which means that it can capture more detail in the highlights and shadows of an image. This results in a more natural and cinematic image, as the camera can capture more of the details in the scene.
Color Science
The color science of the ARRI camera system is another reason why it is trusted by Hollywood cinematographers. The camera system has a color science that is specifically designed to capture natural and accurate colors, which is essential for creating a cinematic image. The camera system's color science is also known for producing skin tones that are lifelike and natural.
Reliability
The ARRI camera system is known for its reliability, which is critical in the fast-paced and high-pressure environment of filmmaking. The camera system is built to withstand the rigors of production, and its durability is essential in ensuring that the camera continues to perform even under challenging shooting conditions. The ARRI camera system is also designed with a modular system, which makes it easy to swap out components and make repairs quickly.
Academy Awards
The ARRI camera system's sensor has been used in countless films that have won Academy Awards for Best Cinematography. In fact, the camera system has been used in more films that have won the award than any other camera system. Films that have used the ARRI camera system and won the award for Best Cinematography include "Gravity," "The Revenant," "Birdman," "Blade Runner 2049," and "1917," among many others.
