Arriflex 35
The Arriflex 35, released by Arri in 1937, was the first reflex 35mm production motion picture camera. Function It was built around the spinning reflex twin-bladed "butterfly" mirror shutter designed by Erich Kästner, chief engineer at Arnold & Richter Cine Technik (ARRI), Arri Group, set at 45 degrees horizontally to the lens axis. This mirror reflex system was invented in 1931. Modern standard models have a maximum shutter exposure opening of 165 degrees, (not 180 degrees as claimed in Arri manuals), the 35 IIC-BV model having a variable shutter. The mirror shutter allows the camera operator to see a viewfinder image equal to the recorded picture, without parallax, although there is noticeable image flicker in the viewfinder when the camera is running, caused by the two open exposure segments of the mirror shutter. The camera utilizes a three lens turret with three aluminum Arri lens mounts (later 35 IIC/B with one stainless steel bayonet mount and two aluminum Arri mounts), ...

Arriflex 35BL
The Arriflex 35BL is a 35mm motion picture camera released by ARRI in 1972. Function The Arriflex 35BL was the first silent 35mm camera (BL stands for blimped). It uses a fixed butterfly reflex shutter, which gave the cinematographer an exact representation of the recorded frame. It recorded up to 100 frames per second, which was revolutionary in documenting sporting events. It uses a dual registration pin system. It also has an odometer-styled analogue footage counter. The camera uses both and magazines. History The development of the 35BL began in 1966, since there was no handholdable, silent, reflex 35 mm camera at that time. The release of this camera, together with the Panaflex Lightweight released in 1975, changed the filmmaking process profoundly and made big camera setups like the Mitchell BNCR obsolete. The Arriflex 35BL was released just in time to document the 1972 Summer Olympics, in Arri's hometown Munich. This led to a huge boost in popularity of this camera. ...

Arriflex 435
The Arriflex 435 is a movie camera product line created by Arri in 1995 to replace the Arriflex 35III line. The number reflects its position as a successor camera to the Arri III and the fact that it is designed for 35 mm film. The 435 cameras are specifically designed as MOS cameras, which means that they are conventionally considered to be too loud to record usable location sound. However, this also frees the camera up to be optimized for non-sync sound uses, particularly any filming which either doesn't require sound or shooting at non-sync speed, shooting in reverse, or ramping between different speeds. As such, its potential applications are widespread, and thus it is regularly used on music videos, commercials, second unit work on features, special effects work, and motion control, among other usage. Rival Panavision even owns more 435s for rental than Arri's own hire houses; Panavisions, however, can be converted to Pan-Arri 435s where they are modified to accept Panavis ...

Arriflex 16SR
The Arriflex 16SR is a motion picture camera product line created by Arri, introduced in 1975. This 16SR camera series is designed for 16 mm filmmaking in Standard 16 format. 'SR' Stands for Silent Reflex. In 1982, Arri released the 16SR2, for improved function over the previous version, e.g. lower operational noise level. In 1992, Arri released the 16SR3, the latest and the only series that can support the Super 16 format in the 16SR series without modification to the Super 16 format. It appeared in two versions: "Advanced" & "HS" (High Speed), for high speed filming. The 16 SR series of cameras are distinguished by their small portable profile, their multidirectional viewfinder having a correctly upright picture in all positions, to the right and to the left of the camera, a crystal controlled motor and a quick-change 400 ft coaxial magazine. A 200 ft coaxial magazine was originally featured in the photo of the 16 SR in an Arri collective brochure in 1975, but this ...

Arriflex 16ST
The Arriflex 16ST, also Arriflex 16S, is a 16mm MOS production motion picture camera released in 1952 by ARRI. The camera utilizes a voltage of 8.4 volts DC Function Like earlier models, the ARRI 16ST was built around the spinning reflex twin-bladed "butterfly" mirror shutter designed by Erich Kästner, chief engineer at Arnold & Richter Cine Technik (ARRI), Arri Group, set at 45 degrees horizontally to the lens axis. It uses a 3-lens turret with ARRI standard mounts. The viewfinder In photography, a viewfinder is what the photographer looks through to compose, and, in many cases, to focus the picture. Most viewfinders are separate, and suffer parallax, while the single-lens reflex camera lets the viewfinder use the main ... is located on the gate door. The design is very similar to the Arriflex 35. The Arriflex 16ST can load 100ft daylight spools internally and a 400ft external magazine can be attached to the top. The camera is driven by a 12V crystal control motor, wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Arriflex 535 is a movie camera product line created by Arri The Arri Group () is a German manufacturer of motion picture film equipment. Based in Munich, the company was founded in 1917. It produces professional motion picture cameras, lenses, lighting and post-production equipment. Hermann Simon ment ... in 1990 to replace the Arriflex 35 BL line. As such, its potential applications are widespread, and thus it is regularly used as a primary camera on feature films, second unit work on features, on music videos, commercials, special effects work and motion control, among other usage. Before the introduction of the Arricam System, the 535 was one of the most popular 35 mm sync-sound movie camera in usage, due to its wide range of production adoption, intuitive design, high reliability, and retail availability. In recognition of the achievements of the 535 system, AMPAS awarded Arri a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award in 1995. The original variant was capab ...

Arri Alexa
The Arri Alexa (stylised as ΛLEXΛ) is a digital motion picture camera system developed by Arri. First introduced in April 2010, the camera was Arri's first major transition into digital cinematography after previous efforts such as the Arriflex D-20 and D-21. Alexa cameras are designed for use in feature films, television shows, and commercials. Alexa uses the ALEV series of image sensors manufactured by ON Semiconductor. Overview The Alexa camera system introduced their Log-C imaging science as a digital negative to make digital cinema images process like scanned film images. The camera has several methods of recording, including SxS cards, CFast 2.0 cards and SXR Capture Drives at resolutions up to 3424 × 2202 pixels in either Rec. 709 HD Video color space or Log-C to ProRes or ARRIRAW codecs. The Alexa camera offers additional optional software licenses that unlock different capabilities of the Alexa Camera including High Speed 120fps recording, DNxHD codec and ...

Arriflex 765
The Arriflex 765 is a 65 mm movie camera created by Arri in 1989. History The camera was conceptualized by Otto Blaschek, who had already engineered the Arriflex 35BL and the 35 III, for which he won the "Scientific and Engineering Award" of the Academy of Motion Pictures. The development of this camera started in 1983. The goal was to design a 65mm movie camera, which was quiet enough to fit sync sound productions and had a similar ergonomy to 35mm cameras, to answer the growing demand for 65mm cameras. Other 65mm cameras had noise production of up to 50dBA, which made sound recording impossible. The final Arri 765 uses four crystal sync motors, two in the body and two in the magazine, due to the wider and thus heavier film stock. This way it achieves less than 25 dBA at 24fps. The Arri 765 was used for special effects shots on ''Alien 3'' and certain scenes of ''Far and Away'' (both 1992). Films shot on the Arri 765 include '' Shutter Island'' (2010), '' Gravity'' (2013) and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
