NARRATIVE DEMO REEL
REFINING THE COLOR OF PANASONIC VARICAM
THE VARICAM IS PANASONIC’S FLAGSHIP CINEMA CAMERA. IT COMPETES WITH THE ARRI ALEXA, HOLLYWOOD’S GOLD STANDARD MOTION PICTURE CAMERA. ALEXANDER DISCOVERED THE VARICAM BENEFITS FROM THE USE OF SPECIALITY OPTICAL FILTERS IN CERTAIN LIGHTING CONDITIONS TO PREVENT INFRARED COLOR CONTAMINATION.
THRU ALEXANDER’S EXTENSIVE TESTING AND CONVERSATIONS WITH ENGINEERS AT PANASONIC, HE WAS ABLE TO INCREASE THE COLOR ACCURACY OF THE VARICAM UNDER A WIDER VARIETY OF LIGHTING CONDITIONS THAN THE CAMERA’S SENSOR WAS ORIGINALLY ENGINEERED TO CAPTURE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE VARICAM OPERATOR COMMUNITY.
