ORIGINAL TRILOGY APPRECIATION WEEK 2021 Day 7 - Free Choice | Favorite Dynamic I knew you’d come back. I just knew it. Well, I wasn’t going to let you get all the credit and take all the reward.

Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they’ll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.

“You see, kids, right from the moment I met your mom I knew, I have to love this woman as much as I can, and as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second.”

Director Gareth Edwards turned to cinematographer Greig Fraser ASC, ACS for “Rogue One,” and together they looked at different camera format options. Edwards was initially interested in shooting on film, but while visiting ARRI in Los Angeles, Fraser was given a preview of the ALEXA 65. Available exclusively from ARRI Rental, ALEXA 65 is a large format camera system that offers a true digital version of the historic 65 mm film format.

“When I was first shown it I wasn’t sure what I was looking at,” says Fraser. “I was expecting to be shown something smaller than the standard ALEXA, not a bit bigger. But then I looked in the lens port at the sensor and was just completely gobsmacked by the size of this thing. It was one of those moments where the dominoes instantly start falling in front of you; I remember thinking, ‘Right, here we go – this is the beginning of a new era in cinematography’.”
