    Just picked up an Alexa Classic camera! At this price point the camera is an absolute no brainer. Write it off on your taxes as a business expense, make money with the camera, and sell it for probably the same as what you paid for it now. I can't image these cameras can get much cheaper.

    • @wcsdiaries
      @wcsdiaries 4 роки тому +5

      So why are these cameras so expensive? bc of the color science? Can you explain why an arri is worth 10x as much as like a sony fx6 or red komodo?

    • @HonJazzz
      @HonJazzz 4 роки тому +15

      @@wcsdiaries The new ones are 10X the price, not the classic. It comes down to build quality, color science, tonality, and how the sensor handles difficult lighting situations. 60K is nothing for a major Film/TV show so it makes sense to use a system that is proven to be reliable, and has a simple workflow. Time is money.

The tax reduction will only be a small part of $6500, and that may even be distributed in multiple years depending on the country taxation laws and the nature of the tool. Like any investment, it may make sense in some cases.The benefit from its use must be higher than its cost minus the tax, and there are many other parameters to consider when you are spending money.

      Bigger cameras are usually for television. Turns out people really don't like being randomly filmed. Also due to the still increased risk of terrorist attacks, security and police are trained to look for sketchy situations so you will just have to get used to asking permission.
      The "fucking blue collar poor people" aren't the issue. It's the laziness of people not asking permission which is killing it for the rest of us.

    Fun fact: ARRI doesn't make their own sensors. ON Semiconductor makes the ALEV III sensor, they were also the ones commissioned to design it and won an award for it.
    Fun fact #2: The Alexa LF and Mini LF don't have a new sensor. They just butted two old ALEV III designs together and rotated it. They only ever had one sensor, the same as in your "old" Classic, and it's still the one used in their latest cameras. The Alexa 65 is just three ALEV III designs butted together on the same die.

      Well of course Arri don't have a semiconductor factory, but they didn't just order "some sensor" from ON Semiconductor.

    Nice camera. Still holds up in 2019. I prefer good HD over OK 4K anytime. Dynamic range and color are the most important. Resolution is the last thing you should be thinking about.

    My dream has been to own an Arri Alexa also. After seeing your video I decided to get one also. I found one at Alan Gordon. I got an Alexa Classic EV for under $6000. But not by much. It isn't the Plus like the one you got. When I was in college I wanted an Arri 16BL - never got one. Now I will be getting an Arri Alexa. Exciting.
    What's ironic is that in 1977 I was on a trip to Germany and got a private tour of the Arri Factory in Munich by Dr. August Arnold the owner. It was the most fantastic experience ever. What I life I've had. After seeing your video on the PL to EF conversion, I also got an EF conversion kit for the Alexa so I can use my Canon lenses. Because of your videos I decided to get an Arri Alexa. So I have to say Thanks for the motivation.

    Meeting some dude in “Hollywood” he sells you an Alexa on a street corner. That moment when you get home and find your Alexa is actually a shoe box painted grey with “Arri” down the side and it’s actually full of potato peelings (to give it authentic weight of course). I was half expecting that dude with the curly hair to leg it down the road after he said “hope you have fun with it” 😂

    All the ARRI Alexas use the Alev-III Sensor, 14 stops dynamic range, high quality build, 8.25 micron size pixels, its a workhorse of a camera meant to last a long time. Even survives Warehouse fires. ✓

      That is not public property. That is a parking lot owned by the operator of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a tourist attraction in Palm Springs, CA. The owner of the property has the legal right to tell them what types of activities and cameras are permitted there. Likely they charge fees to permit commercial cinematography.

    • @highks496
      @highks496 5 років тому +31

      There's a parking spot right there, so it's not in the middle of nowhere, but it's either a national park or it's owned by the city or the county. These entities usually charge for permits for professional cinematography because they can, but also to limit the amount of low-budget professional shoots in popular spots. They do the same in Germany in parks around castles and stuff like that. These spots would be flowing over with photographers and film crews every day, and so they are really strict about it. You can expect expensive fines if you publish professional pictures or video from there without a permit.
