The rain stopped and the sky cleared to beautiful magic-hour car commercial dreamlike hues — and it was happy hour at the ARRI CSC Grand Opening in Secaucus, New Jersey (near the Meadowlands). Oktoberfest Beer was flowing, Bratwursts and Weisswurst were roasting, and it was a wonderful evening. During the day, Locals 600 and 52 hosted lighting and camera workshops,… read more…

ARRI ALEXA
Model of one of the three new digital cameras from ARRI: choice of electronic or optical finder. Smaller than a 235, lightweight, sits nicely on shoulder, on-board battery and quiet 20 db. I would expect to see on-board storage when we get a closer look around NAB

Blixt Camera Rental
We recently visited Björn Blixt and Blixt Camera Rental in Copenhagen, Denmark. Björn is a fellow cinematographer with a wicked wit, cunning at punning and an enthusiastic entrepreneurial spirit. Rune Ericson, the legendary Swedish cameraman and “father of Super 16,” often joked about how most of the world thought he lived at the North Pole. Blixt Camera Rentals may not… read more…

ARRI CSC…Worth the Trip
High praise from a Michelin Guidebook is that a place is “worth the trip.” The new ARRI CSC facility is definitely worth the trip: recently relocated west of Manhattan, across the Hudson river, to Secaucus, NJ–famous for its Secaucus Seven, Meadowlands, and Clothing Outlet Centers.There was much speculation and some early trepidation by hard-core New Yorkers at a place you… read more…
