In Springtime this year the Brazilian feature film Jepotá, written and directed by Augusto Canani (@augustocanani) and Carlos Papá Guarani (@carlospapa2017), finished a successful shoot in the Tekoá Mirim village in the south of Brazil.
Produced by @prana_filmes, the project was selected by ARRI’s International Support Program and shot by Pepe Mendes (@pepe_mendes).
With the use of the ALEXA Mini LF, ARRI Signature Primes, Orbiter, ARRI True Blue T-series and ARRI 650 Plus lights, the challenges of the natural environment and atmosphere could be captured.
“As a collective accomplishment between indigenous and non-indigenous people, Jepotá brings together very different worldviews," director Augusto Canani says about the project. And Cinematographer Pepe Mendes adds: “The ALEXA Mini LF and Signatures Primes setup fit perfectly into our story, I can't imagine this feature being any different.”

“Seeing the output of the ARRI ALEXA 35 in 4K cinema projectors was mind-blowing. The new generation sensor and new REVEAL color science show more accurate colors and a more organic feel. The updated 13-bit ARRIRAW and the 17-stop dynamic range provides more creative options while on-set and during post-production.
The camera build is great with the return of the side control panel, and the new firmware for the electronic viewfinder is also helpful for monitoring HDR production. With plenty of accessories, the ALEXA 35 can support any projects from TVCs to feature films, and even documentaries.”

The second series of ARRI’s continuous lighting is about portrait photography. Portrait photographer Thomas Kierok (@thomaskierok) speaks about how continuous lighting helps him with his work when taking portraits of kids. From colorful lights, face coloring and moving portraits, he shows a big range while using ARRI’s LED fixtures.

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!”

“The way the ALEXA 35 captured the beauty of the sea made us shiver. We could see the sun through the waves, the corals weren't dark, and the marine life was so vivid it was like they were in 3D.
The images we had wanted to shoot for decades have now been realized. We're deeply impressed by the ALEXA 35, and we would like to express our gratitude to ARRI”

Italian DP @_carlo_rinaldi_ experimented with Orbiter on the set of a road movie, filmed in Sicily, with an important musical component and traits of surreal, colourful comedy. He told us about his experience working with the versatile Orbiter:
"I was mainly looking for an LED fixture with RGB output and a point light quality that could be used to draw sharper light cones than normal LED panels. Orbiter seems to be designed exactly for this, but I was amazed by the power of the light generated and its ease of use.
I used the 'Open Face' kit extensively in all its angles, 15°, 30° and 60°, and already got all the results I hoped for. Then, I also tested the Orbiter Docking Ring by adding an ETC Source Four shaper to draw perfect circles or real shapes. Also, the Control Panel is very convenient, as it detaches from the back to become a real remote control via its cable when the projector is placed in certain positions, for example pointing downwards.
Working constantly alongside other ARRI lights such as SkyPanel S30 and S60, one of the biggest advantages was being able to work on colours using 'gel packs' or setting specific color coordinates measured with a colorimeter (x,y). Having an Orbiter alongside the SkyPanels, which emit a softer light from a diffused surface, in my case meant adding a direct light component, harder, if necessary, to create a beam of light or simulate a sunbeam for example. It is like finally completing an LED lamp fleet with something that was missing until now.
I was impressed by this LED fixture and also realised its potential for many other uses, even as a main light to illuminate a face when softened with a bank or diffusion gels or bounced on a white bounce or muslin fabric."

ARRI’s discussions with filmmakers and careful review of the image pipeline have led to significant image quality enhancements and faster, easier workflows. Along with ALEXA 35, ARRI has introduced REVEAL Color Science—a suite of new image processing steps used by ALEXA 35 internally and also available through leading third-party postproduction tools for ARRIRAW processing. It provides a range of free tools and apps, which make using the new cameras easier and more efficient.
