“I rated the camera at 800 [ASA],” he continues. “I think the myth of digital is that you underexpose because it can’t hold the highlights like film. I find that when you underexpose digital more than a little bit, very often you increase your noise level significantly. What’s extraordinary about the Alexa is that even if I pushed the sensor to 1,600 [ASA] there was very little noise, and I could actually underexpose quite a bit without introducing noise in the blacks. The dynamic range was mind-boggling.” Newton Thomas Sigel

After watching the movie Drive tonight I had to look up what kind of camera and who was the cinematographer because not only is this a fantastic movie but it is so cool looking and beautifully edited, lit and directed.

I didn't think I'd ever be blogging about Ryan Gosling. I mean he's a good actor and all...but I was so so. Well, he has won me over. He is some kind of weird mix of boy next door in the land of Jim Thompson. Compelling. I could not take my eyes off him. I could have watched this movie if it was 6 hours long. And Albert Brooks is lovely. If you're like me and way behind on seeing movies...just go see this movie now. Brilliant! 10/10
