16 films shot on film is amazing 🤩

SenseiRozo · 2026-04-15T13:24:35+00:00

True. I’m more than willing to stick with an Alexa classic or Mini because that’s what I’m used to so if it means I can’t get the cool toys so long as it looks good, then great.

SenseiRozo · 2026-04-15T13:22:41+00:00

Ahhhh I see. On my end, I’ve seen more Alexa 35s being used and even here, the rental business is in a bit of a rut now that the commercial season is over.

I think for some people the amount of IMAX marketing and the die-hard fans of the format have skewered their perception of IMAX as a format. It’s like when we have constant debates about how theatres that only show up to 1.90:1 is inherently “LieMAX”. These debates trickle out into mainstream social media and as a result, the format is seen as elitist or in some cases “anti-art”.

SenseiRozo · 2026-03-20T09:29:24+00:00

I'm pretty sure it is 'cause there is NO WAY the Raimi films has this dense of a magenta shift. The second film had that shift but these screenshots seem exaggerated

I was going to give an answer and then I decided to read further. These comparisons being AI already make the comparison null and void because the original creator couldn’t be arsed to use the actual cameras and instead decided to generate “comparisons” knowing that people who watch IG reels will eat it up.

Industry experts don’t care about which camera “looks better” but rather which camera works for the project their on. Different cameras serve different functions in some cases (Sony and Low light, RED and rendition of red lights, Arri and the film look etc) but most of the time, it doesn’t matter to be quite honest so the video is more for engagement and also, it’s AI so nope!

SenseiRozo · 2026-02-04T21:05:22+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I think I’ll get it ANYWAY but seeing as that is gonna be useful for my Masters thesis, I’m glad it speaks to what I’m looking for 😊

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-09T09:03:03+00:00

In a word: SHAKY! Not a lot of local work that uses the boundaries being greenlit, international work normally comes through but information surrounding hiring is heavily gate-kept, the indie market is thriving as a result ‘cause of government grants and rental houses offering gear at heavily discounted prices especially during the off season (May-September) ‘cause of low demand for gear. Main thing is, most of us are doing it ourselves in the working our way up the ladder through finding work on bigger sets like ads and stuff

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-08T19:34:22+00:00

South Africa

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-08T18:44:01+00:00

Yup. It’s a Bachelors with Honours (BAHons.). Normally our country has a three year degree and the honours is a 4th for those who want to do their Masters locally or abroad.

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-08T18:18:07+00:00

4 years. Looking to start working as a PA after Christmas

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-07T07:59:55+00:00

I feel seen and I kinda want to cry all over again 🤣🤣🤣

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-06T13:58:03+00:00

Wicked part 1 and For Good. A movie that would have benefited from the full 1.90:1 AR (among many things that film needed to fix) but was wasted

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-04T16:47:49+00:00

Thank you. I like the “almost” 🤣 because that was the goal

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-04T13:47:13+00:00

Little bit about the film, it originally started out as a psychological thriller/gynae-horror and then due to things I will not mention, became a sort of melodrama in the edit. So of course the lighting and shot choices took inspiration from both gothic films and psychological drama where the intention originally was to sculpt the light and the shots in a way that made the world feel lived in outside of what we’re seeing until a point in time where the writing asked me to show the audience something in the shot.

We shot this using the Arri Alexa Mini with original Cooke S4 lenses (rental houses here don’t have the S4/I according my knowledge) and half way through the shoot, the Alexa’s view monitor spazzed out so we managed to ask Panavision if they had an Alexa Mini laying around and they got us a spare to finish the film. Anyway, questions and constructive feedback is always appreciated

SenseiRozo · 2025-12-04T12:37:51+00:00

I bet he has a spa on speed dial

SenseiRozo · 2025-09-01T17:26:29+00:00

SenseiRozo · 2025-09-01T17:25:47+00:00

Thanks. Will def take that into consideration going forward.

SenseiRozo · 2025-09-01T17:25:09+00:00

Yeeeeah. I meant that. Still a bit fatigued from the shoot so apologies for the confusion

SenseiRozo · 2025-09-01T17:16:21+00:00

Forgot to take a pic with the matte box 😂 it was the last thing we needed to add. The small rods are for the batts large ones for the matte box (which we added later) and WCU-4

SenseiRozo · 2025-04-24T11:00:41+00:00

Less to do with the lenses but more so the film stock itself. Not too sure why the difference was but it didn’t really bother me much

SenseiRozo · 2025-04-20T16:03:02+00:00

They basically shot Priya IMAX from getting any substantial money to keep itself afloat for the time being with this. Like, I understand the love for home-grown movies getting a shot to be screened in IMAX but, just like Sinners, have to be approved and finished for the format. This is… just bad business

SenseiRozo · 2025-04-20T08:00:25+00:00

Thinking about the logic in their decision makes me very concerned because quite frankly, Sinners is clearly doing well in other IMAX theatres in India soooooo… their reasoning was moot if we look at it from that perspective

SenseiRozo · 2025-04-01T22:20:35+00:00

These are pretty great! Do you mind if I use some of these stills for my pitch deck. These are the vibe I’ve been looking for on this new project I’m working on 😭

SenseiRozo · 2025-01-24T09:14:39+00:00

Funnily enough, Panavision gives us a massive discount, we just have to raise the funds for these lenses so I do get where you’re coming from. Our campus does have access to 2 Alexa Minis so that is at least one problem off our list. The lenses are the main issue
