Film cameras and Lenses used for
'The Card counter'
For The Card Counter, Paul Schrader and DP Alexander Dynan drew inspiration from Bresson's 1966 feature Au Hasard Balthazar, which was filmed in 1.66:1, the European widescreen standard. The filmmakers use this frame to lend a portraiture quality to their close-ups — which, along with the rest of the film, were captured with Arri Rental's DNA LF lenses on an Alexa LF in Open Gate mode — and to isolate Tell from his surroundings.
CAMERAS
Arri Alexa LF
Featuring a sensor slightly larger than full frame, the ALEXA LF camera records native 4.5K with ARRI’s best overall image quality. This allows filmmakers to explore the immersive large-format aesthetic while retaining the sensor’s natural colorimetry, pleasing skin tones and stunning capability for HDR workflows. Versatile recording formats, including efficient ProRes and uncompressed, unencrypted ARRIRAW up to 150 fps, encompass all on-set workflow requirements.
RED Helium
RED's RANGER HELIUM 8K S35 is an all-in-one camera system that features an integrated and less complex platform for filmmakers. The standardized camera body weighs around 7.5 pounds (depending on battery), supports wide input voltage (11.5V to 32V), and boasts more independent SDI and AUX power outputs as well as an integrated XLR audio input. It also has a larger fan for quieter and more efficient temperature management.
Features like integrated I/O's, 24V power out, shimmed PL Mount and improved thermal performance give users peace of mind in any shooting environment. The camera will ship complete with necessary rigging and support for improved set-up time.
RED RANGER is available with three difference sensor options: MONSTRO 8K VV, HELIUM 8K S35, and GEMINI 5K S35. All three sensors deliver stunning resolution and image quality—creating clean and organic images that bring your footage to life. The MONSTRO and HELIUM sensors take the next step in exceeding beauty offered by film - up to 17x more resolution than HD—and over 4x more than 4K.

Arri DNA LF
DNA is a completely new concept in lens development, pioneered by ARRI Rental in collaboration with visually ambitious cinematographers. Sourcing vintage optics from different historical periods, we embrace unusual image attributes that arouse an emotional response.
Selected optics are rehoused into modern lens casings, with the manufacturing carried out in-house at ARRI Rental. Each lens has its own personality, often customized for individual filmmakers, allowing stories to be told with a new visual boldness.
Entaniya Fisheye
Designed and invented by Entaniya of Japan, the Fisheye HAL 200 lens is the highest quality fisheye lens in the world. The lens has a 200-degree angle of view but has few aberrations and a very little fringe so it can provide an unbelievably sharp quality compared to other fisheye lenses. Entaniya Fisheye HAL consists of three parts: a front lens, a back lens and a mount adapter. All the parts can be exchanged depending on the purpose of the lens.
