Here is a "blast from the past." This is me and my good friend Janice Kirk working on my first student film project, back in 1971 while I was attending Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas. I am holding a Nikon Ftn. We shot both stills and 16mm film for a "multi-media" project where the images were projected on the 5 exterior sides of a rear projection screen covered 8-foot cube, with the audience of 4 or so people seated on the interior carpeted floor.

Bill Bennett shooting his new Arri Alexa digital cinema camera, with a Zeiss VP-2 29-60mm T2.2 lens. The latitude and colorimetry you can achieve with this camera, even recording to the internal SxS cards using ProRes 4444 and Loc-C is quite remarkable. Photo: Abby Sunderland
