We were waiting for the new Panavision digital 65mm camera developed
with NASA engineers. The information has been published in January with
a picture of the prototype. And no more news 9 months later…
The breaking news is coming from Germany! ARRI is the leader of digital 35mm cameras all over the world with its
complete range of ALEXA cameras. And now it will be the exclusive
company to replace the former ARRI 765 (the last and the best 65mm
camera which was built too late just before the end of the 70mm period).
The reborn of 65mm filming will be the brand new “ALEXA 65” with a full
range of new special lenses 8 Zeiss (Hasselblad) Prime 65 lenses from
24mm to 300mm and one zoom 55 to 110mm.
The sensor of this camera is larger than the frame of the Arri 765 with
a size of 54.12 by 25.59 mm and a maximum resolution of 6560 x 3102
pixels. Much more than 4K the new standard of high definition movies is
now 6.5K!
If you don’t trust me or if you want to read more informations from this
technical revolution you’ll find all these good news from:
arrirentalgroup.com.
This equipment will be exclusively rented by Arrirental group.
Now let’s see if Panavision will present soon the American version of
the 65mm digital camera.
I hope cinemas will improve soon their DCP projector equipment with 4K
and giant screens, and perhaps it will be necessary to invent 6 or 8K
projectors to appreciate « the splendor of digital 70mm ».
It will be interesting to check if the major companies will reintroduce
the « in 70mm » label or a specific logo like « in Digital 65 » as a
reference of the good old times when it was a must to see a movie in the
splendor of 70mm. It’s funny that, for many years, the only logo
mentioned on posters is about sound : “Dolby digital”, except 3D movies
and IMAX.
Long life to digital 70mm… born from the wedding of the best size of
motion pictures ever made and the best up-to-date digital technology.
