ARRI Alexa Camera Shoots Beautiful Video with Little Light


The Violin Maker from ARRI Channel on Vimeo.



The new ARRI Alexa, a $60,000 professional 2K camera, shows off its chops in this gorgeous footage of a violin maker at work. The amazing part? You're seeing the camera working with the light of two, 100W desk lamps.
The video itself was shot at 800 ISO, which has been described by DP Tom Faehrmann as "completely noise free." From the looks of this clip, he's not exaggerating. I'd blame any noticeable blemishes on Flash compression.
ARRI's bigger pitch with the Alexa, however, is the general ease of use. Get a better look at the hardware in these two promo vids:
