"The camera is an important component in cinematography."

Dang, I didn't think we'd get THIS in-depth.

"the camera is an important component in cinematography" .... priceless 👍

This actually looks like it could be a super cool video series where you analyze how the most popular camera/film technology has affected the expression of different filmmakers.

I'm a Brazilian working tô become a DP someday, but at the region I live in, there's not much oportunity tô use those high-end câmeras and lenses (used the bmpcc a lot) this kind of series is great for giving us the knowledge, once we have the oportunity tô work with those equipments, to choose the right equipment to the project.
No words to describe how thankfull I'm right now, please keep going!

Been quite some time, good to have you back!

Edit
Since there’s not much videos on the platform about Film cameras and even less about post production of analog film, your video is really appreciated mate!

[Elusive_Pete]

This series is astonishing! Please make 20 parts :P

Arris' PL mount is today something of an industry standard in the film world and many lens manufacturers, such as Canon, Leica and Zeiss, have PL lenses in their range. The new mount is called LPL (large PL) and is wider (67 mm) and has a shorter index distance than the PL mount, this makes it easier to construct bright lenses. The combination of larger sensor and larger maximum aperture can make a big difference in how shallow depth of field and background sharpness can be achieved.

Thank you for another brilliant video! Your channel is a real gem; you manage to find info that no other channel explores, and turn it into in-depth, yet concise, asethtically appealing, and engaging short videos about the making of cinema. It’s a valuable talent and I greatly appreciate what you’re doing!

P.S. after doing your series on lenses and cameras, would you be able to do one on film stocks?

[cavalry]

I work @Panavision and you have no idea how helpful this was. I've been asking these questions for years and you just answered them. thanks keep up the great work.

[Daxelinho]

Great start of a hopefully longlasting series!

Maybe you could add a series where you do the oppsite, look at a single movie (or like in this video) and explain the camera, lens and codec/film choice.

[OrdnanceTV]

This may be the perfect camera comparison video.

When you said the Alexa Mini has one noticeable flaw I thought you were going to bring up the card slot. The bane of my life whenever I'm loading haha.

[blownupfishnchips]

I never really paid attention much to cameras the fact that I prefer animation but this brought a new perspective to the style I intend to pick up even if it isn't needed.

[Mrjamster]

00:19 ha I had a RED One. Beautiful image, extremely heavy.

[sarwozenpikir]

Hey Bro, I like your work! I love ARRI

[cinemanuggets]

Thank you good sir for these videos. They are a huge blessing to us

[moeezS]

I love all the use of Rachel Morrison in these images haha, but her cinematography speaks for itself!

[rhysmarksentertainment.]

Your passion never fails to enthrall me.

[alexfouquetfr]

I'm so happy this came out, thank you so much IDC

My dream is to shoot on a Panaflex. All my favorite films have been shot on them. I think it has a look that _still_ can't be fully replicated to this day even with the best digital cameras and colorists.
