Arri Lenses Any Filmmaker Can Own
if i go missing, it was probably arri. this is something a friend and i were discussing. many of these legacy companies offer lenses that are rehoused versions of things you can find on ebay. there are tunings and additional optical elements they implement to make them wholly original, but there is no reason you can't get your hands on the base lenses. the only thing stopping people is gatekeeping. chapters: intro 00:00 the alexa 65 and 65mm lenses 01:00 important note about arri rental and the DNAs 02:35 the lenses that make up the DNAs 03:37 sponsor 04:27 let's break down the cost 06:25 the cost to send to Duclos 10:47 how much i spent on a set 11:24 why you need to get these lenses now 11:53 why i made this video 13:17 check out https://share.epidemicsound.com/mitchbrinkerMAR25 - use code "MITCH50" for 30 days free + 50% off two months of any plan. use code "MBC10" for 10% off of Dehancer: https://dehancer.com feel free to support me on patreon: https://patreon.com/MitchellBrinker?u... my MBC LUTs: https://www.mitchellbrinker.com/categ... alexa 35 grain textures: https://www.mitchellbrinker.com/categ... website: https://mitchellbrinker.com instagram: @mitchellbrinkerdp business inquiries: m.brinker97@gmail.com affiliate links: my camera - https://amzn.to/4lb762z my main lens - https://amzn.to/4iMpdKl best tripod for the money - https://amzn.to/4l9JZ8j the microphone - https://amzn.to/4hSc8hu favorite light mat - https://amzn.to/3FQ1YR9 lantern for f22 - https://amzn.to/3RrDHDp my current key light - https://amzn.to/3RrDHDp a nice 4ft soft box - https://amzn.to/3E44GC7 tube lights BABY! - https://amzn.to/4iSiG10 solid, cheap c-stands - https://amzn.to/3RrDHDp hand dimmers for tungsten lights - https://amzn.to/426eW4F

A24 Has Hurt Indie Filmmaking
so obviously the overwhelming majority doesn't believe this movie counts as an indie film, but i do think that the fact there is even a conversation about it makes it worth talking about. we're kind of losing the plot on what indie filmmaking is at this point. website: https://mitchellbrinker.com instagram: @mitchellbrinkerdp business inquiries: m.brinker97@gmail.com feel free to support me on patreon: https://patreon.com/MitchellBrinker?u... my MBC LUTs: https://www.mitchellbrinker.com/categ... free alexa 35 grain textures: https://www.mitchellbrinker.com/categ... affiliate links: my camera - https://amzn.to/4lb762z my main lens - https://amzn.to/4iMpdKl best tripod for the money - https://amzn.to/4l9JZ8j the microphone - https://amzn.to/4hSc8hu favorite light mat - https://amzn.to/3FQ1YR9 lantern for f22 - https://amzn.to/3RrDHDp my current key light - https://amzn.to/3RrDHDp a nice 4ft soft box - https://amzn.to/3E44GC7 tube lights BABY! - https://amzn.to/4iSiG10 solid, cheap c-stands - https://amzn.to/3RrDHDp hand dimmers for tungsten lights - https://amzn.to/426eW4F

"not the alexa 35" textures | nostalgic grain textures
footage shot on sony fx3 with kowa anamorphics. let's say that someone was able to take the grain textures from the alexa 35 and make them available for use in your NLE. you would then be able to put them over footage from any camera to achieve the look of those in-camera only textures. that would be sick, too bad these are "not" the alexa 35 textures. google drive link to higher quality video: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UQ2eXTuVkV7rBVjOKJA2H_rUCAAk4Qsm?usp=sharing feel free to support me on patreon: https://patreon.com/MitchellBrinker?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink free alexa 35 grain textures https://www.mitchellbrinker.com/category/all-products website: https://mitchellbrinker.com instagram: @mitchellbrinkerdp business inquiries: m.brinker97@gmail.com

Checking Out the New Arri Alexa 35 Grain Textures
This the last time I shoot a video wide open on a lens. I didn't realize I was a little out of focus until editing. Well, my bad. Anyway, this one is a bit of a quick video. Arri just released a weird video announcing two new grain textures for the Alexa 35. I often use the grain textures in the camera, so these interested me. Here are some quick shots and thoughts!

Tungsten Lights are Great for Low Budget Filmmaking
Anytime I have a night scene, I always lean towards using traditional tungsten units. I find them to be very efficient. Here are my thoughts on them.

Arri Alexa 35 Footage - Filmbox by Video Village
Moved to a new place. Took a break from building furniture to film some shots. I recently started trying out Filmbox by Video Village in my workflow. Here are some shots set to 35mm/500t. Simple balance and tweaks to taste.
Sony Venice Footage - Zeiss Super Speed MKII T1.3
Three shots from a small, unscientific test at CSLA in Atwater. Taking a look at 3200 ISO while at 2500 base. Don't remember the exact focal length, but I was wide open. There was some level of ND. Sony Venice 4k 4:3 S35 X-OCN LT ISO 3200 (2500) WB 5000 24fps / 180 Shutter Color Space Transform Slog3 to LogC4 with Vision Teal LogC4 LUT.
Arri Alexa 35 Footage - Helios 44-2 58mm
Small camera test in my apartment for an upcoming shoot. Wanted to try out a LUT I created for the Alexa 35 that allows you to monitor a dark, underexposed image keeping the image nice and thick. The look was inspired by Jeff Cronenweth. I wanted to capture the dark, grungy, green and yellow tinged look you see in films like The Social Network and Gone Girl. The project consists of mostly night scenes, so the LUT should help out with getting that moody image without getting down into the noise floor. The grain seen here is the Arri Nostalgic texture because why not. Grain is great. Lens was set wide open at T2 for all shots. Everything was lit with a single 750w Source Four bounced wherever was the most flattering. If this is well received I may start doing a few videos breaking down lighting, etc. Specs: Arri Alexa 35 3:2 Open Gate 4.6K ISO 400-640 Prores 4444 G733 Texture 3200k
