I’ve been waiting for this moment for several years: I’m finally a proud ARRI Alexa owner. After much delay, this amazing camera is available to rent through my rental company, Three Mile Films! For maximum flexibility, I chose the Alexa 35 - 15mm Production Set (featuring a full cage, 15mm Studio and LWS support, dovetail, and top handle) along with 8 x Core SWX Helix 150 Max B-Mount Batteries (with hotswap plate), the CODEX high speed bundle (3 x 2TB drives and Thunderbolt 3 dock), and all the other support necessary to make a feature film, commercial, or music video. I’m offering special introductory rates to get this beast on set, so please reach out to me.
I enjoyed making that unboxing video for Instagram, if you hadn’t caught it yet. This momentous occasion seemed worth documenting! To celebrate, I’d like to share a few of my favorite poems I crafted with the support, inspiration, and bizarre creativity of ChatGPT. In the comments section below, please let me know which is your favorite! I have to thank Eric Phillips-Horst for introducing me to the ingenious “sea shanty limerick” prompt as a jumping off point. I hope my college poetry professor, Sheila Donohue, is proud of this human/AI collaboration.
Oh, come all ye filmmakers bold and true,
And let me spin a tale for you,
Of a treasure that crossed the sea from Germany,
And landed at Three Mile Films, just for thee.
The ARRI Alexa 35, your perfect camera solution
Beloved Super 35 format in glorious 4.6K resolution.
Alexa’s first new sensor since the original’s release,
In April of 2010, when it brought us peace.
With REVEAL Color Science, a major breakthrough,
Beautifully rendered skin tones every shade, every hue.
The ARRI Textures, a new journey to explore,
Bringing stories to life, like never before.

So come, storytellers of every kind,
Let the Alexa 35 unleash your creative mind.
A new arrival,

Perfection captured.

A true filmmaker’s tool.

(I didn’t edit this one)
This amazing new camera pairs perfectly with my Super 35 sets of Atlas Orion Series 2x Anamorphic - 'B Set' (32mm T2, 50mm T2, 80mm T2) & ZEISS Super Speed Mk II Lenses (18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, & 85mm T1.3).
Thanks again to Jeff Giblin and the great team at AbelCine for guiding me on this journey.
