Arri Alexa Mini LF | Why Hollywood LOVES This Cinema Camera 

NEXT VIDEO: "Why i switched from Kerri to Arri"

Anyone else's heart brake when Gene said "this isn't a sponsored video"? Was really hoping for an Arri Alexa LF give away 😞

Potato Jet: "Look at this completely random footage I recorded" Everyone: "Oh cool some footage of the dogs again..." 3 seconds later... Fire breathing victoria secret models dancing... O_O

Drop an affiliate link for that camera. If one person buys it, you can get a new tesla!

Dancing women: Eats fire and is completely fine! Me: Eats food from the microwave and can't handle the heat!

the key to the Alexa's popularity is their concerted efforts to come as close as possible to the look of 'film'. The look of 'film' remains the go-to standard and the Alexa's color science best mimics that for the film industry.

Potato Jet during the video..."This is not sponsored at all... I've just been a big fan and super stoked to be working with them.." Potato Jet planning the video... If I say a bunch of good stuff about Arri, maybe they'll let give me a free camera... It's worth a try! "ACTION!"

Arri: You wanna play with some of our cameras PotatoJet: Say no more

Potato Jet:- "you're probably watching this in 720p" Me watching in 1080p:- *smug face *

Other RU-vidr: It's all about 8k Red Potatoes: Hold my mini Alexa

Hands down you are my favourite RU-vidr, your character, delivery and knowledge is a breath of fresh air. Keep it up bro!! 1 million + subs in 2020 is definitely on the cards!!

Omg 😆 the flying away house joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣 almost got in trouble at work for busting up laughing

Arri: Want to come to our "creative studio"? Potato: Like a child in a toystore 🤩🤩🤩

The Arri out-of-camera image is untouchable in it's perfection

This is my first video from you, and I love your attitude about filmmaking. While people will just generally say something smug like, "Why would you use an Arri Alexa for vlogging...?" You actually did it just to have fun. You don't take yourself too seriously. Our industry needs more people like you. Cheers.

“At least the camera won’t float away!” Lol. Deserves an award

Arri: wanna come play with us? Potato: yeah I'm down! Me: You're UP

19:47 They use a peltier element to control the sensors temperature. It's a huge advantage especially in low-light situations due to the reduced thermal noise. It's a technique also used in sensors for space exploration and other remote sensing applications to get more reliable data.

What I love about ARRI is the dedication to craftsmanship and quality. They are the best for a reason.

A few technical corrections: 1 - The "rare earth element" they told you is "secret sauce" - it really isn't. It's a thermoelectric cooler(peltier), the same thing as in a car's mini fridge. Most professional cameras stabilize(note - STABILIZE, not COOL!) their sensor temperature because calibration is only valid for certain temperatures. Passing current through it causes one side to get cold, the other to get hot. The hot side is heatsinked to the giant metal body, or a giant heatsink in Blackmagic's Ursa Mini cameras for example. 2 - The "two processor" thing for 16 bit is a bit of a misdirection. The ALEV III sensor has a dual gain architecture - the sensor itself only has two sets of amplifiers at different gains, and the analog to digital conversion is done on the circuit boards, whereas on more compact integrated cameras, the sensor itself has an ADC and outputs digital data. I haven't torn into an Alexa yet(donations, anyone? :P), but I'm guessing that it just has two separate ADC channels for each gain stage, and then it blends the images coming out in post to get the highest signal to noise ratio. It's the same with Blackmagic cameras, except all that is done on the sensor - you get two digital outputs, high gain and low gain.

You Arri-wielding-Yogi-potato you! Been digging this deeper dive into cinema cameras and cinema camera life.

You're hollywood's favorite camera, gene.

That was a really helpful explanation of how a camera works and how we perceive what it delivers. Thank you for that!

Keep up the good work man. The reason you are great is because you are perfect on camera AND as a working DP you actually know what you are talking about.

notice how every time he says "awesome", it's like "aaaaaaawesome" lol

Gene: I feel like I'm flying! Me: Shit, he's gonna break his elbow again...

Gene ur so knowledgeable it's unreal. Who needs film school after watching your videos.

Straight up in love with the combo of Lenses and Arri Alexa

“And at least the camera won’t float away” And I’m just left giggling on the sofa. Oh gosh that was funny.

18:08 "You're Probably watching this on 720p" *triggered in 4k*

you're such a happy person, I love the vibes

I looooove how you go through cameras!! top notch entertainment!!!

Lmao @ "it's like you don't even need to know what the f*

I thought you did the splits there! You really had me 😂🤣😂🤣

the detail in the fire. what a crazy sensor

I really enjoyed this video Gene. Great content man. That separation you got with the LF was beautiful. Jesus! I was drooling during all of those BROLL sequences! haha. So happy to see you in your happy place bro. Keep it up man. You are on FIRE

Do a comparison between the Alexa and the Osmo Pocket. I'm trying to decide.

Potato Jet: "You're probably watching in 720p or something" Me: *Scuffs* " Try 360p nerd"

Thanks you so much for these videos. I think your one of the most interesting youtubers out there!

That "Up" joke at the end was perfect!! 😂😂

Potato: ''this is not a sponsored video'' Me: 😭😭there goes my chance of winning an arri Alexa 😢😅

0:41 That dude definitely can be Brandon from Linus tech tips.

Don't be afraid to get into the technical stuff! There is so much beginner-level content on youtube. Also thanks for mastering in 4k. Many of us do watch on 4k monitors because we are film geeks and creators ourselves! Great video.

super excited - getting my alexa studio plus this week!

Gene: I felt like I was in the matrix Everyone watching at home: Does Up take place within the matrix??

My man is trying so hard to get a free alexa hahaha. Love it!

that footage is super fire literally

You are awesome! This video just kept me glued till the end. I'm a big arri fan just like you 😍❤

2:33 This is how I roast my marshmallows 3:10 they taste phenomenal

Arri: *has the best colors* Me: I'm colorblind and I'm watching it in nightshift Arri: "Am I a joke to you?"

Yes!!!, A video that felt like the old potato videos

OMG, I was waiting for this review since the full size Arri Alexa review u did!

**We met in middle and bought a camera**😂😂🤣 Yes dude definitely a middle of those decisions!! LMAO xd

As a german I can say the "A" in ARRI is pronounced like a very short "uh", so it's more like "Uh-Ree", not "Air-Ree". Also it's very interesting that USA (Hollywood) is by far THE place where the best cinema movies come from, but they are mostly produced with german equipment from ARRI (cameras, lenses, follow focus & lights), Sachtler (tripods), Zeiss (lenses), Sennheiser (microphones), and so on.

Ayyyyy! This came out dope AF!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Love the level of information and details that you are giving out. Love you man. It's been a few months and i Finally Suscribed and even hit the notification bell.

Me: hmmm, that's a nice table, maybe I should get smth like that for myself? Gene: tears paper off. Me O_o nevermind then...

Potato Jet thinking.... How many videos about Arri do I need to make before they sponsor me? I've bought one of their cameras, I say all sorts of nice things about them. I've tried everything! Potato Jet has a bright moment..... Wait I have and Idea! What about some.... hot fire breathing women! If they don't sponsor my next video, I quit.

Love your content so much and your personality is just as awesome, keep it up brah

Great video! Love your enthusiasm and energy!

The clip you shot is FIRE 🔥 All puns intended 🙂

Sooo did anyone go 👀👀 when he said “not trying to sit on Santa’s lap” 👀👀

Holy cow that camera rig in front of the race car! And the amazing dynamic range and color...wow.

Man I've learned so much from your videos, about cameras and filming, love your point of view!

Potato: You're probably watching this in 720p Me checking the resolution: 1440p *feeling superior*

I still have a 70D and I'm like dang.... I just want a EOS R

Baller camera for sure. Would be a dream to get some of those for my studio with models. Right now we be shooting boudoir models and music videos on full frame and these bigger sensors are just a dream

Awesome to see people loving thier profession that much. Great Video.

Turn off your amazon alexa before watching this... 🤣🤣🤣

me: Watching Jordan Peterson's video Potato Jet: Uploading a video me: Guess i'm not going to clean up my room anytime soon

This was a fun love letter to Arri. I really enjoyed watching all of the way through.

when the music kicks in at 11:31 I literally laughed out loud, great stuff

Gene you coward! Put on 16mm and step close to the fire lady!

"This table is actually paper" IM SORRY WHAT

what an episode... love it!

Always love your enthusiasm 🙏😊

Love this video and the Arri Alexa line of cameras. My wife worked for the stunt coordinator of FordvFerrari and I got to visit while they were shooting the film. I went to visit the camera truck and the guys were super cool and it was like being in a tech candy store! Roger Deakins also shot 1917 with this camera as well.

I love this video and how passionate you are about this!

I love the Arri cameras 😍😍😍😍

i love that you get to play with the best toys this industry has to offer

I love learning more about filmmaking gear keep it up!

Those fire shots are some of the BEST shots I've ever seen on RU-vid, apart from the big movie related clips!

Stumbled upon your videos.... dude one of the coolest (irrelevant stuff for me) that I have ever watch! Awesome channel

man i love watching these videos from pete matti and potato after work....

Thanks - lots of fun and very interesting!

Really enjoyed watching this👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾

Watching in 4k and loving it!

The fire sequence was lit.

Those flaming fire shots at 14:40 are sooo sick

Learned so much! Thank you. Can you make a video about cinema lenses vs photography lenses?

I straight up laughed out loud and scared my dog when the music gently came back in and you were doing slow motion acro-yoga. That's all I needed to see today... gonna go make a video.

that front split was incredible

Dude your passion motivates me to do better. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Never change man! Peace

that 'up' joke was the best way to close out this video. love your content.

Pure comedy, I love this channel.

Looove the fire sequence!!

Love these Arri vids.

Wow, the footage looks incredible!

Potato jet video disclaimer if you have Amazon Echo Devices this video will wake them up every 15 seconds. Great video as always.

Amazing man always first to ur logs
