Shot a handful of currently broadcasting spots on Amira: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/o4X5/monopoly-voice-banking-own-it-all Considering that nearly all commercials are going to finish in 1080p and Amira shares identical specs with the Alexa Mini when shooting spherical it's a solid investment today and into the future. Arri's design and build quality are top notch. I owned just about every flavor of Red before switching over to Arri a few years back and have not questioned that move once since.

Had a shoot last week with an overhead Arri Ruby 7 light and I wanted to push it through an unbleached muslin 6'x6' frame skirted as our key light. We had the unbleached muslin about three+ feet away from the key and it started smoking within ten minutes or so. We ended up swapping out for 250 and had no issue although we lost the color warmth and that subtle direct pass through hard light. Unbleached muslin is really nice but I agree with what has been said earlier that it isn't as robust as standard lee filters.

Planning on shooting with rear nets and wanted to share some learnings after testing: •Every lens make and focal length reacts differently to rear nets. I tested supreme primes against masters and ultras. I found Ultras to yield the best results in my testing whereas the masters and supremes i tested revealed the nets pattern more easily in their bokeh. I'm taking the advice given in this thread and planning on mixing classic softs and glimmer glass when nets become too visible in scene. •I've tried the snot tape route and found it very difficult to control the net and its distribution as well as replicate a density of net. A better solution for me has been to use a keychain ring and slowly pull the net into the ring as you would a key until you've filled the center of the ring. This parks the net and allows you to make the spread of the net very even. The standard keychain ring is also pretty close in size to most rear elements and allows you to reuse and achieve reproduce-able results.
