Challenge: do an entire day vlog with just that camera.
I need potato jet to see this
DOOO ITTTTTTTTTTTT
Please do
Easy...put it on a stroller like DanMace did.

This was the most confusing episode for my Amazon Alexa.
First world problems..lol😂😂😂 Where I'm from we don't even know what Alexa is😂😂😂😂😂😂...lol

Omg that’s Hilarious
Pale people in their fucking dogs are ridiculous🤦🏽♂️
Just picked up an Alexa Classic camera! At this price point the camera is an absolute no brainer. Write it off on your taxes as a business expense, make money with the camera, and sell it for probably the same as what you paid for it now. I can't image these cameras can get much cheaper.
So why are these cameras so expensive? bc of the color science? Can you explain why an arri is worth 10x as much as like a sony fx6 or red komodo?
@@wcsdiaries The new ones are 10X the price, not the classic. It comes down to build quality, color science, tonality, and how the sensor handles difficult lighting situations. 60K is nothing for a major Film/TV show so it makes sense to use a system that is proven to be reliable, and has a simple workflow. Time is money.
@@HonJazzz so you're saying the camera saves them to trouble of doing major work like color grading? Thus paying for a 60k camera = saving money ?
@@wcsdiaries it’s more about how it responds to the grade. It holds up extremely well. Also, I feel like the camera has a lot of qualities that are difficult to quantify. It just has a pleasing look.
@@victorseastrom3455 how on earth do you afford these arri cameras???
"I need $6500 in tax writeoff before january" video
Sunamer Z I mean yes there are loopholes but there shouldn’t be
@Sunamer Z Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's always a good financial decision. Hence the discussion about being unable to buy a house.
@@liceafilms This is not a loophole. It's an expense like any other. The tax reduction will only be a small part of $6500, and that may even be distributed in multiple years depending on the country taxation laws and the nature of the tool. Like any investment, it may make sense in some cases.The benefit from its use must be higher than its cost minus the tax, and there are many other parameters to consider when you are spending money.

Wow I could feel tears coming watching this. The colour science is simply out of this world and walking around with Arri written on your camera is mind blowing!

I think Kerri's fine with getting the camera instead of the house. At least the camera won't float away.
HAHHAHAHAA
Man.😂😂
Lmao nice reference
I didn’t expect this!
😂😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This camera's 1080p looks better than almost anything I've ever seen, wow
Svetlin Tomanov this. It looked insane!
I bought an old Alexa on Ebay. It's image placed in a 4K timeline looks better than my Panasonic GH5 and Blackmagic Pocket 4K
so smooth
High bitrate and global shutter make a world of a difference.
watch a michael mann movie.
preferably miami vice or collateral.
you will be stunned
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this camera makes $6500 look like loose change.
Yeah I was thinking “man what a great deal” while sitting here with 2 grand life savings.
@@smileychess SAME BRUH
This is impressive how much quality the 10 years old camera can deliver! And no changes of exposure when moving from outside to the inside is just impressive!
Funny how having a "big camera" just freaks out the local security etc.
@Graphite I'll have to assume you aren't American and learned English from reading youtube comments that's why you sound like a five year old prick.
I dont see why though every phone has a camera on it anyway.
@Graphite It isn't tho.
Bigger cameras are usually for television. Turns out people really don't like being randomly filmed. Also due to the still increased risk of terrorist attacks, security and police are trained to look for sketchy situations so you will just have to get used to asking permission.
The "fucking blue collar poor people" aren't the issue. It's the laziness of people not asking permission which is killing it for the rest of us.
I rarely got a no and barely had any fees either.
@@annekedebruyn7797 you are trying to reason with a troll who isn't even American.
@@aoikemono6414 To be fair I am not American either so he can't use "but I am a European" as an argument.
Fast forward to November 2029: "I just bought an Arri Alexa MINI LF on Craigslist!"
Sea Urchin Films 😂😂😂
Amazing how much of a different the camera makes if the HD resolution looks sharp etc or not. Maybe people wouldn't follow the 4k hype if they would focus more on what makes a good/sharp image
Is is of course the 4:4:4 sampling which makes the sharp image. It can't be compared with the conventional 4:2:0, where 80% of the color pixels are thrown away.
I love that with cameras you can talk about every single piece on it in depth but you describe an electric shaver with straight sounds instead of words
Security: *no idea what you’re actually doing*
You can’t be doing... “this type” of cinematography “videoing”
$12 dollar per hour security guard VS 6k Arri owner.. BRAWL!
Id pay to watch that.
While happily being recorded by the camera that is actually rolling! 😂
Hey! _{whoever _*_you_*_ are}_ can't be doing _{whatever _*_this_*_ is}_ here ! I don't like it and I don't understand it... so it *_must_* be against the law!
Security guards are tools. They all think they're Jason frigging Bourne...😒
@@dangoldbach6570Mate of mine is brilliant with them... he's just got _"that brusque manner"_ about him....
You the security guard here? ... random questions... Sorry, what was your name? You got ID? ... Who I am isn't important, how long you worked here?
It shouldn't work, but he looks and acts like he's from SO15 or CTC. And, if there's one thing uppity 'jobsworth' security guards cannot handle, it's the creeping idea they're massively outranked... and, worse, by someone who outranks them by such a huge margin that they can't even tell you just how outranked you are ; )
I win when 'authority' comes to the door though. In my hall there's a fully equipped police jacket, peli-light, video recorder, digital radio... heavily stocked utility belt - except it doesn't say 'police' on it, it says something else... you can see them eyeing it and their manner changes, 'cus they don't quite know who you are - but the cap rested on top of it looks like you're from the 'business end' of the organisation ; )
Makes me laugh. People get so carried away with the regalia of authority these days. I don't subscribe to the pecking order.
Fun fact: ARRI doesn't make their own sensors. ON Semiconductor makes the ALEV III sensor, they were also the ones commissioned to design it and won an award for it.
Fun fact #2: The Alexa LF and Mini LF don't have a new sensor. They just butted two old ALEV III designs together and rotated it. They only ever had one sensor, the same as in your "old" Classic, and it's still the one used in their latest cameras. The Alexa 65 is just three ALEV III designs butted together on the same die.
who makes RED sensors?
@@HYTTFilms Forza Silicon. I'm not sure who does the actual fab though, but I'm pretty certain Forza did the contracted design.
Well of course Arri don't have a semiconductor factory, but they didn't just order "some sensor" from ON Semiconductor. They have specialists who designed that sensor in collaboration with the semiconductor people, and they did a good job so far because every cameraman with a high enough budget will usually go for Arri.
@@heikosale1027 You completely missed my point. I said specifically that they *do not* have these specialists. They contracted ON Semi to design the sensor for them.
@@Spirit532 I didn't mean Arri have *sensor* specialists. Arri have experts who know what they want as a result in color reproduction, and they made it happen. If it were so easy to just hire some semiconductor company to make a good sensor for you, then Sony, Blackmagic, Canon, Panasonic and others would have sensors that are just as good as Arri's. But obvisously they don't.
Oh boy, I can watch this again and again even after years. You're simply amazing, like the footage from the "cheap" ARRI.
That footage is truly amazing from a color/contrast standpoint. Incredible value.

“Can record more colors than our human eyes can see” ...how do we know if we can’t see them? (joking lol)
Lol i am guessing you can only check that with some digital color table? Kinda like rgb being 16 million colors and to be honest i have no idea if can tell some shades apart
And display them on a monitor which does not, so you're definitely not seeing them. It also depending on how you export and encode/compress the video, but it's always good to have more colors or a bigger range than not.
Because it is being record and then you have a wider range to edit, its call Dynamic Range.
That's not really true. The camera's sensor may be sensitive to _wavelengths_ (like infrared, which is not a color) that the human eye cannot see, but the human eye does not quantize colors into discrete and limited values. So while the number of colors that the camera can record is a limited function, the human eye has no such limitation-it can see infinite numbers of different shades. (How our brains process this information is another matter, but that was not part of the claim.) There's no quantity greater than infinity.
Although it might seem like a "feature" to have a camera sensor that is sensitive to wavelengths that the human eye is not sensitive to, it's actually a bug. Like our eyes, the camera only records three primary colors: red, green and blue. A sensor that can for example resolve longer wavelength reds than the human eye can only record the invisible (to humans) light as "red", so a scene that contains more of the longer wavelength red will only be recorded as "more red" not "deeper red." The ideal opto-electrical transfer function (OETF) for any camera used for human viewing is precisely the same as the human eye, no more no less.
because it's bullshit
11 years old and still amazing quality, just how you would expect an Alexa to perform!
Dude, your enthusiasm is palpable! Gotta love it.
Still insisting, Sam looks like the guy from “Narcos Mexico”

Now it's Gemini > Alexa.
Don't know how I missed this video of yours. I am actually so excited for you and super jealous. You are like a child at Christmas when every wish you had has come true.
@ 6 min in, that Head shot was Amazing! The way you captured your friends eyes clearly through his glasses with the Sunset reflecting off of them but Clear! BRAVO SIR OHHH and Thank You, now I know what it means at the end of a Movie when it says Shot on Ari Alexa and what the Camera Looks Like! I love learning something new! SAM your Sweater Rocked!
The shaving scene is why I love this channel.... you Mr Potato Jet have a higher dynamic range than that Alexa!
That quality of a 9-10 year old camera, if it wasn't so big I would considered to buy one also... great video like always Mr.vegetable! Greeting from fruit department.
A lot of old equipment in photography/cinematography are still amazing today.
FYI, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II is 30 years old already.
Your mum really support you! She even feels happy when you bought this! lol
That pure true joy that sparkles when you are digging into your long-conveyed expensive toy :)
Now that Gene has got his first shave out of the way, soon he'll be ready for "the talk."
HA! I have thought about doing this, it still looks pretty awesome!. Congrats on catching up to me in SUBS! great work man ! it can also pickup infrared same as my Flex, I also get into trouble with big cameras, people act like you have a cannon on the tripod...lbvs.
Sweet deal! Glad it worked out for you, the footage legit looks good over RUclips even with the compression they have, kinda makes me wonder if the 4k camera craziness is even needed if you have to compress it like crazy to stream it anyway. Try it with an anamorphic lens, I'd like to see that!
yeah you right!!! that train shot is fantastic
I can't even believe this! Thanks so so much for the shout-out! I feel like going out and shooting now, thanks for the motivation!
"Our eyes can see a lot of colors and shades"

bro this is me. i hear all this stuff about HDR and 10 bit and im just sitting here trying to figure out what's brown and whats green lol
Ruff Prophet Productions if you want you can buy color blind glasses so you can see color
@@matthewdoyle8644 yeah i looked into those. the issue isnt that i cant see color its just that i cant tell differences between close shades sometimes, like blue/purple for example. maybe one day ill sprinf thr $200 for a pair and see if it'll change my life . ive been doing fine so far lets see how long i can go lol
Great cutting on your videos mate. Nice and tight to keep the action moving and keep the viewer engaged, others could learn a thing or two from your style. Good luck with that beautiful new camera 👍
The fact that Harrison works with an old Arri Alexa and a Sony PMW F3 says it all about this old Sony camera, just a gem I'll hopefully buy soon
All I see is carrying a rocket launcher

That camera is super cool and the footage looks great. Also Kerri don't worry, Gene's got half a million subscribers and growing, you are going to have a damn nice house one day.
Love it.. you are so hyped and happy to get this camera..
The quality looks so good man!
Can't believe it's a 10 years camera!
You know security at 9:20 has done this alot when he mentions specifically "this type of cinematography"
I thought the same thing. Only in Hollywood is people pulling out cameras like that at the parks. He's probably a closet DP, just works security for the parks as a day job.
I just watched a grown ass man shave, thoroughly enjoyed it too.
Well done bro, glad your dreams are coming true, you deserve it man.
Finally you arrived on the right side of picture quality. Congratulations.

This camera looks better than so many 4k cameras out there! It is all about the pixel and not the size of it!
"You can’t be doing this type of cinematography videoing"... WTF!? You´re filming rocks in the middle of nowhere...! What is wrong with this guy, or America for that matter?!
That guy thinks it's commercial filming due to the type of camera, which is illegal without a permit. Most folks don't have giant cinema quality cameras to take video with for shits and giggles
There's a parking spot right there, so it's not in the middle of nowhere, but it's either a national park or it's owned by the city or the county. These entities usually charge for permits for professional cinematography because they can, but also to limit the amount of low-budget professional shoots in popular spots. They do the same in Germany in parks around castles and stuff like that. These spots would be flowing over with photographers and film crews every day, and so they are really strict about it. You can expect expensive fines if you publish professional pictures or video from there without a permit.

6:44 Yep... like the RED, the Alexa is primarily made of lead and concrete
Meeting some dude in “Hollywood” he sells you an Alexa on a street corner. That moment when you get home and find your Alexa is actually a shoe box painted grey with “Arri” down the side and it’s actually full of potato peelings (to give it authentic weight of course). I was half expecting that dude with the curly hair to leg it down the road after he said “hope you have fun with it” 😂
Went the same route, bought a used Alexa Plus and its a totally different planet in comparison to my FS7, which I still love. Hard to describe.
Internet: Do you wanna buy this expensive camera
Gene: Well getting a house isn’t really necessary, is it Kerri?
Potato Jet: We found it on Craig's List.
Harrison: I bought mine on Facebook.
Me: 😂
Such a weird coincidence. The side walk you bought the camera is actually infront of my apartment in NoHo 😄 and I see this dude around all the time
Props for driving a Gladiator! When are you going to share videos of you on the trail?
Old cameras in good condition are the undiscovered gold of the indy film makers quest. We are mostly aware of the value of vintage glass but older film cameras still rock. Maybe Gene you will try out some film cameras 16mm & 35mm, I think you will love it.
I still have my Red One MX and it still kicks ass.

You shaving was the funniest thing I've seen in ages!
You need to do a video of your first experience with a straight razor, also known as a "cutthroat" razor, like the Dovo Inox or the Feather SS.
I usually shave with a double blade safety razor, I'm quite partial to the Merkur 34c handle myself and feather blades, but like to use my straight razors when feeling exceptionally manly. :D
Oh, and that camera is awesome too :P
Love your videos bro! Full of info and funny af!
Huh, never thought I'd say this but I might be able to buy that camera at the end of next year lol
