Swedish DP Frida Wendel FSF is putting the ALEXA 35 through its paces on an epic fantasy medieval drama “Ronja,” a Swedish classic by Astrid Lindgren. It is the single largest production to date in Sweden taking both A and B Crews all over the country in various locations and scenarios. Frida Wendel FSF has been using the ALEXA 35 to its full potential taking into account the latitude and the very much used textures which impose the feel and character of the project. The use of the camera's textures have become a key factor for the project hence there was no other camera out there that could cover the needs of Ronja. The camera was supplied by Ljud & Bildmedia AB right before the start of the project, which is still in production until mid 2023. "That the ALEXA 35 was released exactly at this moment is such a lucky coincidence for our production. We are shooting an epic fantasy medieval drama based on the book Ronja the Robber’s daughter written by Astrid Lindgren. A Swedish classic that is very close to my heart. It takes us through forests, canyons and lakes. It gives us sun, rain, wind and snow. Dusk, dawn and night. Moonlight and fire. This couldn’t be a better project to challenge it. And I’m astonished. The range is incredible. The way it takes care of the high lights. The sun reflecting in the lake. The sun through the atmos smoke. The smoothness in low light. The level of detail is something else."- DP Frida Wendel FSFCamera Nordic ... See MoreSee Less
