  • Big thanks to Brandon Washington for coming out and helping out with this video. I'd be interested in pitting the LF against the Raptor XL once it releases. Let me know if you'd like to see more side-by-sides for another video.
    CZcams compression killed some of the finer nuances with each camera, so here's a Vimeo link: vimeo.com/716125365/8a98103d54

    Me eye must be amazing, because I could clearly tell that camera 1 was the Alexa. Arri’s highlight and shadow technology always gives it away. They don’t focus on resolution like other companies, they mainly focus on highlight and shadow rolloff.

    @elvisripley Před 2 lety +16

    Liked this. You should show Brandon how to use color management in Resolve. I think his video is getting swayed a lot by the red tools. ACES or DaVinci color management might change it up for him.

      Please do! I really am trying to learn how to get the most out of the LF. If you have a resource please let me know.

      @@bwashmedia still edit in FCPX because it’s dope but Resolve unhooks the camera from the LUTs and tools. You could even make a red LUT and convert the LF Log into Red Log so they would both have Red’s color.

    @DennisSchmitz Před 2 lety +17

    RED doesn't really deal with highlights very well at all due to its monochromatic fake highlight recovery. Also loses lots of shadow chroma information thanks to heavy chroma spatial filtering which also creates the blotchiness mentioned here.
    ARRI and Sony Venice are the way to go in the high end market.

      Hows the alexa mini super 35 vs the alexa lp? Other than sensor Size is there a significant difference in image quality?

    Great video, thank Robert and Brandon. One question, would you get the Alexa 35 over the Mini LF if you had to buy one today? I know you didn't go with the Venice, which surprised me.

    • @BlaineWestropp1
      @BlaineWestropp1 Před 2 lety +2

      I think the biggest question here is if you want full frame or s35

    • @robchado
      @robchado  Před 2 lety +5

      That's a great question. The large format look is great but I don't think it's for everything. I might honestly go with the Alexa 35 for it's versatility and new color science/DR. The Venice is still an awesome camera and would probably be a close 2nd.

    As a Red V-Raptor owner, I think these two cameras serve two different purposes. Also the majority of these differences can be easily changed to match at post, especially for a R3D footage. However, I think for skin tone, Alexa can beat Red easily, and even though I’m a RED owner, I always have the dream of getting myself an ARRI one day. However, you have to realise a true 4K ALEXA LF also costs nearly 40,000£ more than the Red V-Raptor…. :////

      @Kylesaystuff Před rokem +1

      @@JoshSmith-ct3fi cuz alexa 35 is 90,000£ for a shooting package and RED V-raptor is 20,000£... at the end of the day, lighting and lens make the most different, so I save 70,000£ to invest something else rather than get a perfect camera. If you mean the old alexa mini, is still around 30,000£ and it cannot shoot 4K and is not Netflix approved.
