CAM ERAMAN WANT ED

We are a family of four planning a trip to Argentina from Canada and we are exploring the possibility of filming the trip, therefore we are looking for a motorcycle cinematographer. The trip would take close to a year and the accommodations would be what we find on the way. We are also planning to go where vehicles other than bikes cannot access, so being a competent rider is essential. Contact: Henry Rekers at atk_nut@shaw.ca.

ARRIRAW workflow

ALEXA gives you a choice of ultra fast workflows. Whichever of the ALEXA output options you go for, our Direct to Edit feature will speed up your workflow. When recording uncompressed HD or ARRIRAW, the Apple QuickTime proxy that is simultaneously recorded to onboard SxS cards will give you instant access to dailies and the freedom to start an off-line edit immediately. If you choose an HD workflow, the Apple ProRes codecs will allow you to begin your on-line edit simply by removing the memory card from ALEXA and slotting it into a laptop: nothing could be easier.
