ALEXA 35 Encounters - “The Swing”

"I could not get the camera to clip; the dynamic range is so wide and impressive. This is a completely new generation."
Erik Messerschmidt ASC, USA
Shot with ALEXA 35, the K445 Default ARRI Texture and ARRI Signature Prime lenses.
“The Swing” is one of the short films in the “Encounters” series commissioned by ARRI for the launch of the ALEXA 35. Eleven filmmakers from around the world were given the same brief: to develop and shoot a short script based on an encounter, of any kind. Each film managed to push the ALEXA 35 in a unique way; the resulting images are incredibly varied, but universally cinematic.
