Two analog short films, the four legendary formats, two DPs, the ARRIFLEX 765 supplied by Munich - the name of the movies: "Cut" (DP Kristoffer Aabo) and "Nothing ventured" (DP Anders Lindved), both directed by Jesper Tønnes. The short films explore the themes of personal risk, emotional depth, and transformation in captivating ways and blend the richness of analog with the intensity of narrative and movement. “Nothing ventured” is a raw, character-driven noir-action-thriller and “Cut” is a bold flamenco dance film, using the power and grace of flamenco to express the same themes through movement.

"As a filmmaker, I was very curious how we could use the look, and feeling of each format to influence the storytelling. We felt that it was very important to try something new, and push the limits of each format, while still celebrating the traditions and history." – Jesper Tønnes

"Cut" screens at the 2024 San Francisco Dance Film Festival that takes place from 4th October – 3rd November.

"The small size of the ALEXA 35 was extremely helpful because some of our sets were built to be as claustrophobic as possible, but the camera was so compact that we could put it wherever we wanted. And then the wide dynamic range of the ALEXA 35 was just mind-blowing. We had to handle so many different light sources at the same time, but the camera responded beautiful in all of our light conditions, capturing an amazing amount of detail in the highlights and shadows. Sometimes we pushed the ISO setting in low light, but we never felt that we were introducing any noise." Alien: Romulus cinematographer Galo Olivares on shooting with the ALEXA 35.
EU supported the shoot in Budapest with camera and grip equipment.

Cinematographer Sy Turnball shares shooting with ARRI Rental’s exclusive DNA lenses on the upcoming short “Backmask”:

“‘Backmask’ takes place in the 70s in a beautiful historic house, full of original fittings and ornate details. Directors Matt Fitch and Chris Baker and I envisioned the palettes across all departments to be rich in color, with deep blacks. The DNA lenses render color beautifully and with a softness that feels incredibly natural. They retain just the right amount of contrast that I desired. Paired with an ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, I found that I could shoot a portrait predominantly lit with a single clear bulb in frame and still retain the detail of the bulb.

Thank you, ARRI Rental, for supporting this project."
