“For this project I wanted to utilise the Open Gate recording format to really gives the audience a sense of presence when watching the short film. Having this paired with the ARRI colour science heightened the visual style of this story - allowing us to take it even further.” – Joshua Ortiguerra
Joshua (Tigue) Ortiguerra opened the scene using the full height of the ALEXA Mini LF, leaning into large-format scale and ARRI color science to shape Third Eye.
