Arri Alexa 35 | Upgrade of the Decade to Hollywood's Favorite Camera! 

I never thought I would watch a 40 minute video about a cinema camera that I’d never afford, but here I am

Hey PJ great Vid about the Alexa 35 !!!! ... I was part of the ALEXA 35 engineering team in Munich Germany ... for the last 2.5 years ... It's cool to see how happy you are to have the Alexa 35 in your hands ... makes me so happy that all the sweat and teas are now paying off ... Thanks for this cool Vid !!!!!!!!

How I found Potato Jet: "Here's a $500 Canon camera that's amazing for getting video of your dog" Why I stayed with Potato Jet: "Here's a $76,000 Arri camera that's amazing for getting video of your dog"

While everyone else is getting to demo the Canon R7/R10 lately Gene is like, "Hey, check out this new $78k Arri..." That thing is ridiculous!

I love so deeply that, while living the absolute dream and getting to meet with ARRI designers before the camera's even announced, you drop the line _"now it looks like a flying Pokemon!"_ about an $80,000 piece of equipment. Never change, Gene.

I love that ARRI always has had the attitude "if increasing resoloution affects other aspects of the image, don't do it"

It was a blast shooting with you guys! The camera is gorgeous, and you all ate the fire like candy🔥🔥🔥

I'm still learning about dynamic range, Is the Alexa 35's 17 stops more impressive than the Red V-raptor's 17 stops? Are Arri's brightest stops better?

You managed to keep my attention for 37 minutes while teaching me about a camera I'll likely never even see in person. Great stuff!!

Thanks for having us and getting such incredible footage! next time you're getting on the fire wheel!

This camera is exciting. Even more exciting: those open white claws and gatorades right next to the $150,000 camera setup

17 stops... Arri's engineering is so impressive.

its just truly amazing how the people who makes the best cameras in the world, still expresses the most genuine, down to earth, passion with developing camera technology. And is also so excited to share those informations with all of us. Eventho the price is such a huge leap from other options on the market, you just know its worth the price, becaues they don't brag about the specs, and just works to make the tool works for its users. Annnd separating the cooling fans from the electronics, doesn't compromise the weather-proof abilities at all.. Why isn't every other manufacture do this already lol. & which universe do I have to save, to work in this company?

Look at you, Look at me, This is an ARRI 35, Now look back at your Sony Camera, Look back at me, I am robust, I am cinema, Now look back at your camera, Small, Weak, Inflated Features that you don't need, Now Look back at me . Do you see this? This is a dynamic range, This is color, Now, which camera would you instead take home? I'm on a Horse.

i love how the DPs talk not just on specs, but how the pictures look. it shows that the most important spec is not written on paper.

17 stops of DR? Very very impressive. As a cinematographer & colourist this is now on my Xmas wish list. Anyway seriously impressed with how Arri have stayed true their values

I want a small ARRI mirrorless camera. Tell them to make one!

Love seeing this type of content. Will never be in the same room as an Arri so this is amazing to see and appreciate the gear that goes into making films that not a lot of people will notice.

This was most likely one of the most informative videos about a new professional camera I have ever seen (been with cameras since the 8mm days). Well explained but not in a way that made it over simplified ! Great camera, ever greater job on this video !

Bro, you've been working hard. This is a fantastic video.The pace along with the information is perfect. This one is really good. Great video.

This was theeeeee best overview of the Alexa 35 out of all the vids I’ve seen the past few days. Loved seeing input & reactions from your industry peers & colleagues as well as the tech break down from the ARRI staff. MORE OF THIS PLEASE! 🙏🏾

What a fantastic in depth video. Really balances practical on the job usage with the ethos behind it, not just technical stuff. Most interesting to me was the talking to the guys from Arri, you can really get a sense of how everything is designed with the creative user in mind and you can see why they’re so successful at what they do. Thanks! (Hope you hit a million)

Incredible! Thanks for this and also to the Arri team!

Just discovered you a month ago and now ur one of my favorite RU-vidrs

My fav part of this video is just how much Kari is a part of the Potato Jet brand now. She has gotten so much more comfortable in front of the camera. Also she just seems like an extension of Gene. I got used to it in the vlogs, but I was so surprised by how I WASN'T surprised by how well she fit into this Potato Jet video. Good job Kari. Great video Gene.

Just wow! I absolutely loved this video. Amazing, fun, informative and beautiful! Great job Gene!

I was working on a film once, and the weeks before I read Arri's manual for the Alexa in case I could get close to one, I think I've learned more on how they work just by watching your videos than all the studying I did on my own back then.

27:20 is what blew me away. That’s the true power of dynamic range

It looks incredible! I'd love to see the texture comparisons without YT's compression. I'm sure it's muuuuch more noticeable! Excited to see the projects that come from this camera.

I actually watched the entire thing! Captivating! Thanks Gene for bringing us into part of your world.

Dynamics, texture, and especially colors are what it's really about. It is a great pleasure for us film viewers that the ARRI guys have such good aesthetic sense and incredibly well-trained eyes.

I love the throwbacks at the end of the video! Also love these super long vids. Keep it up dude! This has me so hyped for the future

Potato, this is a absolutely fantastic video. One of the best I've ever seen on Arri cameras. Now I know why these cameras are used on nearly every "Best Picture"" winner for the last 10 years. You have done a really good job helping understand the Arri design and engineering science, keep up the great work!

Another masterclass of creating an entertaining yet educating video, smashed it man🔥

"chasing the resolution Dragon" - nice. I see what you did there. Well played sir!

What a beautiful piece of equipment. This is why I love watching this channel.

FINALLY, I have been waiting for this man. U just make arri cooler than anything. Love both of ya

Excited for this camera. Originally wasn’t sure about the body but it looks like it’s really gonna help out 1st AC’s

Definitely one of the best review/introduction video for a camera that I have seen!

I live in Munich next to the ARRI Headquarter. In the meantime, ARRI who was founded in 1917 in Munich by two film ethusiasts (Mr. Arnold & Mr. Richter, what ARRI stands for) has a 105-year company history of creating cinematographic equipment that wrote film history and coined the production and visual style of tens of thousands films around the globe. For decades, they developed und produced analog film cameras, every model at the pinnaccle of the respective cinematographic technology of its time. The last analog film cameras they released were the Arricam Studio and Arricam Lite in the year 2000. They are planning to maintain all their analog cameras still in rental for at least the next ten years to come. Now, for more than ten years, ARRI has managed to successfully transform their decade-long technical know-how and experience from the analog film technology to the digital era of cinematography. Congratulations! We`re eager to learn about ARRIs future develoments in the area of cinematographic technology.

Your enthusiasm is why I continue to watch your videos. The editing of this video is awesome. Keep up the good work potato!

Can I just say, Isaiah Mustafa is so fun to watch on camera. I love that you two get to keep collaborating on projects.

6:44 BLOWS ME AWAY because the amount of detail there makes it look like a VFX shot

Listen man this was one of your most enjoyable videos ever. I could tell you were super pumped about this! Keep that energy mate

Watched the entire video without skipping a sec and i have to say .. boy those shots look GLORIOUS !!!!! And the entire video as usual fun entertaining and informative 💥

Honestly just happy this one is coming out so it’ll make the mini pl and LF more affordable

I dont think I've ever really appreciated the filming quality of movies and shows, but this is really opening my eyes to how amazing the technology is behind getting those cinematic shots, truly awesome video

Love the Dehavens, great people with a great little rental house in the cut. This camera looks incredible

The star of the show is your editing skills, you kept me entertained through 37 minutes. The way you stitched different shots but that talked about the same thing was really good, it clarified information without being too repetitive

Such an insanely good video. From the basic information to the more in depth information to reach all audiences. Arri has some amazing technology and I’m glad they work with Dr. Jet to share what they’re working on with poor folk like me. Well done sir. 👍

Dude! You’re a freaking ROCKSTAR! 🤟🏽😝 Awesome video! Blown away by that dynamic range! And the colors! Holy crap! And that quick draw 🔫 was impressive 😂 so many great moments in this video man haha. You’re a legend bro. Great job 👏🏽

I absolutely love these types of videos. your the only person in your field or catagory that has access to this stuff and knows more or less what the technical things are. your killing it gene. also your last name is the coolest last name ever. CAPTAIN NAGATA!!!!

Mannn this was an awesome video. Everything was explained to its point. Gene awesome work editing the video perfectly.

Loved to see what is being done with Arri. Image technology keeps moving forward with sensors, and SOC processors.

Fantastic video, well edited, great job jumping back and forth for each topic. Get that 1 million subs!

I lovecthat you do things your own way and show us gear and tech that most RU-vid channels don't. Very cool to see al the pro's excited about it as well... Let's get Gene to a million subs!!!

Great overview. Arri is doing some excellent things

Great video. So much information and so much potential.

This video is so amazing! That camera too, but I finally understand how log works and how to swallow fire, brilliant! (amazing work, waiting for de 1M subscribers!)

Your stuff is great! I see a lot of comments saying "I will never see this camera in person, but still watched the entire video". I am a 1st AC for 14 years, and I just got way more info from you in these 37 mins than I managed to get from the "official" channels. Plus this was WAY more fun. That's one sub closer to a million!

Dude your stuff gets more and more epic each week. Kudos.

What a presentation brother 🔥👏🏼💯, and loved the specs and capabilities of the new breed from ARRI family. Commenting this as a entry level dop, waiting for the day where i can play with this camera. Keep up the great work brother. Presentation skills 💯, informative & fun to watch. Love from INDIA 🏹💙

FINALLY!!!! I was HOPING you had an upload of this!

you are in the big leagues!! Gene! congratulatios!!

This is the first video that I’ve seen about the new Alexa and it looks amazing!

man you are a awesome guy, doing what you love living the life!! the Alexa my favorite cine Cam of all time!!

My back was hurting just looking at that rig! 😮

Thank You for all of your videos that you did.

Brilliant stuff as always!

The way you edit these videos is so unique and keeps the attention of the viewer. Great work!!

You make the best camera and related gear reviews and am dying to see you hit 1M subs, been here since you were at about 500k. Keep them videos coming.

Such an amazing video!!!

I guess that is it for Gene, nothing more to live for, he got his dream wish! Congratulations on getting the time with the camera. Arri didn't think any other RU-vidr was worth it. Do you see Gerald Undone with the camera? Or Armando? Gene is just knocking it out of the park lately. First the AmbuLAnce feature and now this. Way to go!

Bro you totally nailed this video. Great work! Everyone’s dream camera has finally arrived!

Best explanation of log ever.

Fantastic edit on this review, very informative and playful!

0:47 Accurate description of what we should be doing when purchasing new camera, looking at the overall image vs specs! These deep dives into film industry products sets Gene apart from all of these "YT influencers". always awesome. keep'em coming.

So stoked you did this video

The efforts this guy puts on a single video 🙌🏻

An awesome camera that I'll never have the need for but this video was well worth the watch!!

Even though I was really interested in that new Arri camera I really enjoyed the video overall, it was really really entertaining and made me smile afterward. It's amazing how you can make a nerd video about a camera so much interesting to watch. My friend who's never been into cameras watching your every video now :D

I Think i Counted 3 times my jaw dropped from the footage. this camera is incredible.

Gene , your content is on fire at the moment . Loving the videos . Shot

Hell yeah Arri. Love the access.

This camera is oozing with class. ARRI has done an out-of-this-world job with this camera. Will I ever get the chance to use it, probably not. However, their dedication to quality over quantity shows heavily with this release. Hopefully the focus ARRI has put into their color and dynamic range reproduction will trickle down into the rest of the camera industry. The only companies I can see getting close or surpassing would be Sony or Black Magic Design. RED has some serious work to do with their color reproduction if they want to compete. Yellow and blue look so artificial with RED. That brief test done on the anamorphic lenses with the orange and blue lights looked so natural and clean. Anyways, great job on this video. It's awesome you get to work with ARRI to reveal this camera to the world.

10:27 i love how the dog is just minding its own business and walking with its small cute feet 😂😚

Thank you so much for making this video

Somehow this is a banger documentary that makes me want an Arri.

Potato Jet makes his videos so interesting and entertaining... I always love to watch.

That was amazing!

Great work Gene! Love Professor X aka Eric Dehaven!

IT'S SO GLORIOUS

Love the fact that you guys had Isaiah Mustafa one of my favorite actors

Most coolest and easy learning Review Gene! Alway love your job man :)

WOW, great video!!

Holy cow the textures are SO COOL. can’t wait for 5 years from now when I get something similar in my Sony mirrorless cameras 😂. They look so natural, not just like slapping an effect, LUT, or filter on. It looks so intentional and perfect.

Thank you for making these awesome video, you're the best Potato in the universe. 😀

love the mini lessons!!!

Footage with the dog and the pool at 19:38 is just stunning. Color fullness, range, sharpness, the whole image.. just stunning. It's a whole new standard. I am afraid scenes filmed with this will look so gorgeous people will miss the message of the movie. Filmmakers will have to be careful with this powerful piece of equipment.

This is amazing!!!!
