See Arri Alexa in San Francisco at DCS, next Tuesday, 10 August

Adam Wilt | 08/04

Arri’s Michael Bravin shows off the Alexa at the Digital Cinema Society in San Francisco.

Just a quick note: The DCS meeting in San Francisco this Tuesday (yes: this coming Tuesday!) will focus on the Arri Alexa. The meeting will be at BlueSky Studios from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Read on for details…

Michael Bravin, Arri’s VP for Market Development, will show off a prototype Alexa, discuss its design and internal workings, and screen demo clips shot with it.

He arrives in SF Monday afternoon, where he’ll hook up with Director Ian McCamey and PVC’s stunningly good looking writer / DP Art Adams, along with Assimilate’s star Colorist Lucas Wilson. This crew will shoot a spec spot that very evening and expect to have it cut, graded, and ready to show Tuesday night, courtesy of the Alexa’s DTE (direct-to-edit) capability: 1920x1080 ProRes444 recorded on SxS cards.

BlueSky will also show off their robotic lighting system, LightGrid, a pretty cool self-positioning strobe system for stills shooting.

The meeting will be held at BlueSky Rental Studios, 2325 3rd Street Suite 434, San Francisco CA 94107. Doors open at 5pm; demo from 6pm to 10pm.

FTC Disclaimer: I’m a member of the Digital Cinema Society. I know Michael Bravin, Art Adams, and Ian McCamey, and I will probably shoot “making of” stills and/or clips of the spec spot production Monday night. However, I have no material connection with Arri or with BlueSky, and I haven’t been offered any payments or other blandishments to mention this meeting.

Are the rumors true? Will they be screening 2K footage from a 2K projector?

It’s a 10 Kilolumen Panasonic projector, but I’m not sure if it’s native 1440x1080, 1920x1080, or 2K.  I’m also not sure if Art is planning to shoot 2k or 1920x1080; probably the latter, as it’s a simpler workflow in editorial and grading. They want to have a cut done by the start of the preso, and Lucas will presumably show off some grading in Scratch during the show.

LED Light Tests: Flesh Tone and Color Comparison Shootout

Art Adams | 04/09

There’s one color that will always bother us if it’s wrong: flesh tone. We tested ten common LED lights against a tungsten Inkie and a Kino Flo… come see the results!

Color comparison tests are hard. Color science is witchcraft, and objective color is exceedingly difficult to quantify. Comparison is really the only way to judge color, so we tested ten LED lights against two tungsten Tweenies and a 3200K 2’x4…

LED Light Tests: PRG Sponsors an LED Light Shootout

Art Adams | 04/02

A dozen lights, an Arri Alexa, an intrepid crew… what could go wrong? Lots, which is why we had to work extra hard. Tests are never easy, and comparison tests are among the hardest of all.

“LED Light Shootout” sounds so dramatic, as if a collection of motley illuminants met in a dusty western town to settle their differences with bullets instead of marketing. It’s actually tedious, mind numbing work… and a real…
