DEFINITION’S 4K CAMERA LIST

ARRI ALEXA SXT W BASED ON: The movie All Is True is the story of a retired bard; DOP Zac Nicholson used the ARRI Alexa SXT W to reflect his dotage DRAMA Zac Nicholson on All Is True : “I try to approach every film with as few preconceptions as possible, particularly when dealing with period drama. The script is the inspiration and the beginning, but the real shape of the film and the inspiration for the method starts with the director’s vision. “The initial conversation began with a very simple question from Ken [Branagh] – what was it like to live in darkness with the only available light coming from candles? People have been lighting with candles for years and film stocks have evolved a great deal, but modern digital cameras have really started to unlock the creative possibilities of working in very low light.”
