CameraKit vs ARRI Look Library

Everything you need to know about every camera worth using. "How much drive space will I need for this Alexa 35 shoot?” "What's the dynamic range of the Venice 2?” “How long will these batteries last me on a Komodo?” "How big is this file going to be when I export?” If you've ever asked these questions, this is the app for you. Whether you’re making decisions on set, troubleshooting in an edit bay, or figuring out which camera to buy, CameraKit has you covered. Search over 200 cameras with a list that includes Arri, Canon, Red, Sony, Blackmagic, Panasonic and more. All specs and data sourced by hand: no AI means no hallucinations. SPECS Includes dynamic range, sensor size, native ISO, lens mounts, resolutions, video outputs, maximum FPS and a link to the manufacturer's website for firmware & manuals. STORAGE Determine how much footage you can fit on your camera card or hard drive-- or how much storage space you'll need for a given recording time.  TRANSFER Predict just how long it will take to move your files, whether you’re transferring to a drive or over the internet.  POWER Estimate how long your batteries will last, or how many you'll need for a shoot, with the option to factor in accessories like your monitor or wireless transmitter.

With the CameraKit app this information is now at your fingertips." -Richard Lackey, CineD "This is one of my favorites. It has every single piece of information for nearly every single camera on the market today.

The ARRI Look Library App is a tool for cinematographers and directors shooting on the ALEXA Mini und AMIRA. This app visualises preset looks using different preview images to help you choose the right style for the scenes. You can easily explore the extensive collection of creative looks pre-programmed into ARRI’s latest digital motion picture cameras. All Looks are part of the software update paket (SUP) 5.0 availible for ALEXA Mini und AMIRA. The ARRI Look Library puts on-set look management within the reach of all productions, not just those with the time and budget to develop bespoke looks prior to shooting. Cameras with the Look Library installed have instant access to 87 different looks, each available in three intensities. Looks are numbered within nine themed groups: Application, Black-and-White, Contrast, Environment, Film, Period, Season, Special and Tinted. In a sense, the looks can be thought of as different film stocks, each providing a unique but repeatable aesthetic when combined with the cinematographer’s choice of lenses. The ARRI Look Library App allows the effects of each look to be compared in a close-up, medium shot and long shot. You can toggle between Rec 709 and your chosen looks, saving images to your mobile device or emailing them to colleagues. ARRI Media, ARRI’s state-of-the-art postproduction and creative services business, has developed the 87 looks and this accompanying app. You can contact ARRI Media directly if you require adjustments to a look, if you need a completely bespoke look, if you need to work in HDR or P3 color space, or if you have any questions. The ARRI Look Library App is there to help you through the look decision process, before and during shooting. View, compare, be inspired… Optimized for iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and later.
