Arri Alexa 65 vs. Alexa Mini - Large Format Look Test (s35mm / 65mm)

Please make sure to check out the theoretical background and the better quality vimeo version at: https://www.manuelluebbers.com/large-format-look-alexa-65-vs-alexa-mini/ With the rising trend of Large Format digital cinema cameras (e.g. Alexa Mini LF/ RED Monstro/ Sony Venice/ etc.) more and more people are discussing the Large Format Look. This test takes a closer look at the characteristics of an image produced by two cameras with different sized sensors. To make the differences as significant as possible I compare the s35mm Alexa Mini with the 65mm Alexa 65, which is the largest sensor digital cinema camera on the market right now. Both cameras were mounted in a stereoscopic rig, so the cameras are recording the scene in the same position simultaneously. https://www.instagram.com/manuel.luebbers/ https://www.manuelluebbers.com/ Director of Photography: Manuel Lübbers 1st AC / Stereographer: Claudio Köhl 2nd AC: Anna Wagler, Martin Ulmer Gaffer: Felix Pflieger, Paul Schuhmacher DIT: Conrad de Clerk Grip: Richard Wilde Talents: Lea Urban, Anuschka Tochtermann Colorist: Florian Martin With the kind support of Arri, Arri Rental, and Stereotec.
