Film camera and Lens used for
'The power of the dog'
Ari Wegner, director of photography, utilized the full width of the Arri Alexa LF’s sensor, pairing the larger-format camera with Panavision Ultra Panatar lenses. "We loved those lenses," she says. "They’re beautiful on faces and 1.25x anamorphic is a very gentle anamorphic. It feels anamorphic without being anamorphic, in all caps".
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.
LENSES
Panavision Ultra Panatar
Panavision Ultra Panatar lenses capture a soft, glamorous, classic-looking image with a 1.3x anamorphic squeeze ratio that produces the artistic qualities associated with anamorphic lenses while using more capture area with modern digital sensors. Ultra Panatar lenses focus with cylindrical components, accentuating the anamorphic look much more than an anamorphic lens with spherical mechanisms.
The elliptical bokeh has been manipulated to look like that of a higher compression ratio lens. Ultra Panatars fit any camera that can accommodate Panavision’s System 65 camera mount.
