What are ALEXAs advantages for 3D shoots?
ALEXA is a very compact and high performance camera, integrating easily into 3D rigs and producing remarkable 3D images. The high sensitivity of EI 800 helps with 3D mirror rigs, as the mirror always takes some of the light. The wide exposure latitude helps to convey a more realistic and natural image, as clipping artifacts can be very detrimental to the viewer’s stereoscopic impression. Cinematographers and high-end 3D solution providers have confirmed, from personal experience as Beta testers for ALEXA’s stereoscopic functions, that the quality of 3D footage captured by ALEXA is simply stunning. In the near future we will introduce a software update packet for ALEXA that will include precise sensor and HD output synchronization for 3D.
