The camera Roger Deakins used to shoot Oscar-nominated '1917' was the first of its kind. Here's the inside story of the Arri ALEXA Mini LF.
"1917" was the first movie to be shot on the Arri ALEXA Mini LF.
The movie's cinematographer, Roger Deakins, hand picked the camera because it could provide a top-quality cinematic look, but was small in size.

It concerns a simple puka-shell necklace, one of those cheap tourist tchotchkes that he'd picked up in Hawaii for $2, a price he'd negotiated down from $5. To most people, that would be a forgettable transaction. Blevins, however, wore the necklace for...
