ARRI | ARRIFLEX D-21 / D-21 HD

Mikael Salomon, ASC -

Director of The Company and The Andromeda Strain

“I'm very pleased with the nal look of the six-hour miniseries The Company,
which we shot in Canada, Hungary and Puerto Rico under very varied circum-
stances.”
“I've had questions from industry professionals asking how much was digital
and how much was shot on lm. Great surprise when they learn that it was
all digital except for a few slo-mo shots - the lm intercuts seamlessly with the
digital images.”
“Ridley [Scott] asked me to direct another miniseries and we decided - once
again - to go with the ARRI digital camera. We're currently shooting in the
Vancouver and getting great feedback on dailies.”
“I've been elding calls from DP's interested in using the ARRI digital camera
system. As I tell them, the best recommendation is that I'm using it again!”
