Guleseria: “Primarily, we shot with the Alexa Mini because of its versatility in a studio and on location, but we required different camera systems for the underwater and ultra slow-motion work. ‘Come Swim’ had many different locations ranging from built sets on a stage, to deserts, beaches, highways, and an underwater tank. The Alexa Mini was the best camera for most of these situations. In general, I believe the camera you use is less important than how you use it and where you put it, but in this case we also had some very specific tasks to achieve. The Phantom was used for shooting ultra slow-motion shots, and the Red Dragon for various underwater scenes.”

How cool is this 1975 Minolta XE-5 camera?
