The Living Arts College FILMMAKING PROGRAM is used to firsts. The tradition continues as Arri, the great German cinema camera maker notified us today that LAC is the first film school to order their ALEXA. LAC pioneered the first advanced DIGITAL ANIMATION PROGRAM in 1973. It was the first with HD production … and first again recently by providing every FILMMAKING STUDENT A CANON DSLR.

“The firsts continue with the ARRI ALEXA.” reports College Director Debra Hooper.

If you’ve read the news from the film production world, you know all about the ALEXA. More than one worthy director has called it the digital camera that will be a “film killer”.

Why? Because the ALEXA has a imaging recording range of 13.5 stops … about that of the human eye. This caculation is based on an “ideal” film speed of 800. The net effect is not only a wide dynmaic range, but see-into-the-shadows low light sensitivity.
