W hat is the promise of large format cinematography? Is it the moving image version of the photography of Ansel Adams and Gregory Crewdson, they relished the big picture – what would Mr Adams have done with multiple frame? Or should we all be striving to emulate those shots from The Revenant ? Whatever it is, we should be excited. But in the real world where budgets and producers can throttle the best intention of the cinematographer we may end up using the full sensors of these new cameras as an effect; wait for that huge detailed landscape shot and keep your producers happy by not accelerating the data use. Maybe look at large format in a different light. Maybe matching the resolution and image quality of these new cameras with the new ‘organic’ lenses like ARRI Rental’s DNA series and the new H Series from Panavision is finally producing the ‘film look’ that we’ve all been waiting for and something that nobody will argue with – even the film guys. In this issue we ask the questions and also look into some of those lenses that will maybe make your ‘film look’ dreams come true. WELCOME
