DP Josh Hill captured Rod Wave's new music video “Alone” on ALEXA 35. Here's what he had to say about working with ARRI's new Super 35 camera: “Working on music videos is always going to present a set of challenges to overcome visually. For this one, it was one specific location that we couldn’t schedule to shoot in the optimal time of the sun's position. I had to shoot with the sun blasting into our background and the talent grouped under a tree, but I knew after testing the new ALEXA 35 a few days prior with another DP colleague that it was going to be a great solution for the extreme dynamic range needed to capture the scene how I intended. The day of, my AC Michael Tursi, said it looked like the background was starting to clip on his viewing monitor. I smiled at him and showed him the false color on my monitor, it was approximately 80 ire and we both looked at each other in disbelief at the amount of range we were capturing. The monitors couldn’t come close to displaying what was on the digital negative. On top of the exterior daylight scenes, we also did a few night scenes, the deep shadow texture was a nice addition to keeping the shadows rich and clean from noise. Music videos are also known to move at a very fast pace, going from setup to setup the ALEXA 35 cage allowed us to go from handheld to Steadicam in half the time I’m used to, it kept the pace up and the AD surprised and happy. That operator side control is so nice to have!” To watch “Alone,” from Rod Wave's new album "Beautiful Mind," see link in bio.
