Ovide shows all the creative possibilities of Amira, ARRI's new documentary-style camera

Ovide brings together numerous photo directors and producers in Madrid and Barcelona to show them the possibilities offered by this versatile camera that combines exceptional image quality and CFast 2.0 workflows at an affordable cost.

This Wednesday, June 18, in Madrid and Thursday, the 19th, in Barcelona, Ovid is showing numerous film, television and advertising professionals the creative possibilities of the new Amira camera from ARRI.

This versatile documentary-style camera combines exceptional image quality and affordable CFast 2.0 workflows with an ergonomic design optimized for single-operator use and extended shoulder operation.

Ready to take and record right away, the new Amiora is robust enough to take anywhere and features color correction with pre-loaded 3D LUTs, as well as 200 fps slow motion.

Featuring the same sensor and exceptional image quality as the ARRI Alexa, the Amira records superior quality HD 1080 or 2K images suitable for any distribution format. With a dynamic range of more than 14 stops, low noise levels, subtle handling of highlights, natural color reproduction, exceptional skin tones and speeds up to 200 fps, the camera is capable of capturing images of the highest creative quality.

Its dynamic range of more than 14 stops, incredibly low noise levels and subtle highlight management allow for superior image quality that will look fantastic in any resolution or distribution format. It is suitable for a huge variety of productions but particularly for documentary-style projects in which handheld filming and the possibility of use by a single operator are key factors. Reports and unscripted programs, promotional and corporate films, commercials, in-house productions, low-budget films and dramatic works will find this camera an extremely attractive and value-added option. In addition, the different lens frame options allow you to have a wide range of current or classic lenses.

Facilitating post-production

Nowadays, with reduced budgets and increasingly shorter production schedules, many television productions do not have the luxury of investing time in fine-tuning the look in post-production. Amira offers looks based on 3D LUTs pre-loaded in the camera and which can be applied on set during filming.

Alternatively, productions can custom build their own 3D LUTs on external color correction systems, load them into the camera during rig prep, and even modify them in-camera during filming. This is a way to create personalized looks with an excellent cost-benefit ratio, saving time and money by minimizing the volume of color correction work in post-production.

As Sergi Ovide Maudet, technical director of Ovide, highlighted in the presentation of the camera in the rental company's brand new facilities in Madrid, this new camera is perfect for a wide variety of productions from reports and corporate films to dramatic television series and low-budget films.
