Dear Joan,

The “First Dates with the Arri Alexa” article in Canadian Cinematographer February issue had excellent insights and information from three very experienced DOPs. As a cinematographer at the mid-level of her craft, I really love information like this, as it helps me become better at what I aspire to in this industry. I would love to read an article specifically on “curves” and how to better control them in digital vs. film – what to look out for, what you should know and how to do it. That sort of information would be very helpful. This was touched on a bit in the February article and also at the Oceans screening last month at Deluxe, Toronto. French DOP Phillippe Ros shared amazing information on how he controlled the gamma curves in the Sony 950s, which were the underwater cameras he used, to match the 35-mm film stocks that were use for the above-water scenes. I was a sponge, soaking up every word!

Thanks again for the article, and I am looking forward to more technical information in the magazine.

Sarah Moffat, Cinematographer

Dear Joan,

Just wanted you to know I enjoyed Lance’s article on the Arri Alexa. I have just finished a very ambitious series with it and it blew me away. I’ve worked with every major digital system out there and this one knocked my socks off. It is truly a “game changer” and nothing else comes close.

Anyway. Keep up the good work. I’m sure it can be rather thankless at times.

All the best, Robert McLachlan csc, asc

Dear Joan,
