Enjoyed the video thoroughly. For someone like us that kind of production gadgets is WOW. Was there a continuity error in the night shot when the cop sits in the front seat while in the other day light (6500K) shot he walks to his own car. Please disregard if it is purposeful per the screenplay. Cheers.

Those are the worst. Had to try and hold a shot from a Robinson R44 for 8kms (about 5 miles I guess) hanging out the door on a gusty day last month – C300. No love from any of the elements.

Love these spots Shane. Gorgeous visuals. Thanks esp. for your BTS thoughts and descriptions. Love seeing those. Would love if you were in Australia one day – would be front row at your masterclass. All the best.

Ben Hess thank you for your kind words and support. That was an aerial shot which was done with a C300 at 1000′ feet. The plane was shaky, and I was shooting out of the side window, we had to stabilize it in post.

Hi Shane, first I just want to thank you for all that you share with us, it’s really an amazing help. Anyways, regarding the first scene/ariel scene, was that real footage or just a picture? If it was a picture how did you go about making it? Thank you!

Oli Kember, yes it is and Arri won’t tell which camera has the IR filtration and how much for that matter. Once again to eye. Thank you so much for your kind words and support as always Oli. Yes kept it to a t2 or sometimes a t 1.3.

Interesting to hear where you think the Alexa’s IR protection limit sits. It does seem to arrive with very heavy ND-ing. Something we’ll have to be aware of with each new camera that comes out. Thankfully with digital cameras it’s spottable on the monitor. Great spot and you nailed the dusk all day look. I presumed you kept your lenses at T/2 because that’s what they would have been at that time of day, so the depth of field felt right? (In addition to simply knocking the daylight levels down).

Shane,
Re IR filtration. So what I gather is that the Arri has a base IR block of 4 stops sans any ND on lens. Add ND past that point, then the visible gets blocked at say 7 stops, but IR at only 4 stops, thus a net +3 stops of IR illumination…
So to knock that down, you need to have two or more filters with IR block along with ND coating to make sure IR and Visible are blocked at the same level?
Do all the ND filters have IR blocking? Or do we need to choose specific ones?

What about the Vari ND’s? I see that Tiffen makes ND with IR, does one do the job if you stack 2-3 NDs, or must you have all with IR to stop the inequality?
Thanks

Baron, I guess it is a little difficult to explain. The Arri Alexa has about an Infra Red filter of about 4 stops, some 6 stops, Arri will not verify. So to be safe I IR filter above 4 stops. Hope that clears it up. If not so sorry. Thanks for the kind words and your support

mel haynes,thank you so much for your kind words. Yes we dressed it all and then went in there for the shots. They were already storyboarded so we had the vision. Right now I love it in low light. Using it next week on Boeing in all different applications. Give you some feedback

Ben, thank you so much for your kind words, that aerial shot was a grab shot out of a very ruff ride in a Cessna which beat the crap out of me. These were then stabilized in post. That is what you are seeing. But for me it sets the tone so I am not interested in the rolling shutter, but the image, the mood and the tone. Story first.

Kim, the 19mm was a cinema glass Leica and the 60-100mm were R Glass.

Sam, you are very welcome. Yes we used a Tiffen WW pola filter in front of the lens along with Tiffen WWND. I rotated the pola just enough to take some of the reflection out, but not all of it.
