A few projects we've been getting at work have been shot with Alexa but NONE of them have shot RAW, all prores 4x4. Upon further investigation I heard from someone that renting the recording accessory that allows the ingest of the Arriraw t-link signal costs more than the camera rental itself! Google has come up short in helping me find a definitive answer here, so I was wondering if anyone could confirm this, or has any realistic rental figures for getting the ideal raw footage from the camera. Has anyone here actually worked on a project where Arriraw was recorded out of the Alexa? I know that Arri says there are a few third party recorders that allow this and maybe some cost more to rent than others, but it's worth noting if one of the key features out of the camera is financially impractical for most projects.

A shallow depth of field tends to be more isolating, which perhaps why it worked on the last episode of "House" where they used the 5D. How large a DOF you use depends on the story you're telling and the interaction of the characters and their environment or world. These other elements can be extremely important. If the film is say about a group, having a very shallow DOF could give the impression that the members are alienated from each other if it's used all the time.

 

Some people are rather loose in calling something a "good" DOF. If you're the 1st AC you may regard "good" is enough to achieve a high percentage of sharp shots. Whereas, if you've got a shallow DOF fetish it has to be f1.2 with only the eyes sharp. The other weird use is "better", which I take really means appropriate rather than "shallow" - you usually don't want a shallow DOF on a model shot for example.

 

There could an element of more stills photographers coming into film & TV and wanting the DOF you get from full frame 35mm stills cameras, plus a reaction against the deeper focus on 1/3" cameras that many have had to use in recent years.
