“The way Matt, Chris and Jack see things is that the real beauty with running comes in all its nuances and the way it makes you feel. So to translate that visually, Slowing things right down allowed us to show jacks nuance as he runs, giving us a unique view into the way his movements are, as an expression and to celebrate his style, success and the relationships around him at the finish line. “
– Carlos Garcia Knight.
To reveal the grace and tranquil spirit of the run, MINDFLIGHT cinematographer Carlos Garcia Knight harnessed the full capabilities of the ALEXA 35 Xtreme, using its Super16 660fps Overdrive mode to bring a new visual language to marathon storytelling.

Don't have a Fisher budget but need a grip option that helps you move a larger setup around with a small crew? Here's the Ronford Baker Bazooka, with a wheeled base in this setup.
One person can easily move the camera between setups, and raise and lower the camera with one hand when using the adjustable riser. There's also a bunch of fixed risers that let you build a hi-hat on wheels or the camera tower of your dreams.
Pictured here with ARRI Alexa 35 + 65-300mm Signature Zoom sitting on an O'Connor 2560 fluid head in Mitchell/Moy configuration.

In collaboration with @alexandernaughton we have created this conceptual piece to demonstrate both the ARRI Alexa 35 and Trinity 2.
In this single take you can see how the Trinity can be used to place the camera over obstacles in a performative way, and how it seamlessly changes height throughout the piece.
Also, check out that dynamic range on the Alexa 35! Lensed with our TLS rehoused Cooke Speed Panchros.

ARRI Alexa 35, Leitz 50mm Summicron-C and Focusbug Cine RT horns pulling together on the Trinity 2. The upcoming Alexa 35 update will make this combo even more capable with the extended Focusbug + Hi-5 integration.
As far as lens image circles go, this one is a whopper. Bigger even than our Chrosziel TP7 II lens projector can handle, being greater than 65mm.
Which set of cine lenses is this lens from? Be the first person to guess correctly and we'll send you a little surprise prize, just to make it fun (Australian residents only).
Have you got the moves? We can now offer you the amazing ARRI Trinity 2 - an incredibly flexibile tool for dynamic camera movement.
Thank you Kiran and @arriaustralia !
To give you an idea of the characteristics of the TLS rehoused Mamiya 645 and Canon FD lenses on ALEXA 35 and Mini LF, we took the typical lens test format and had some fun with it. Huge thanks to @davidchandp@livfildes and @darbymaxwell for bringing the fun. Link to full YT playlist in bio.
