Take a look behind the scenes at the Alpine F1 Team as director Josh Ward, Head of Content Joe Jones, and their team create the reveal film for the team’s new F1 livery and corporate identity.

The annual launch offers an opportunity to set the tone for the season, showcase the team’s identity, and excite fans around the world. Josh walks us through the creative process behind the film—from bringing together Alpine’s road and race cars to developing a dynamic visual approach that keeps the new car under wraps until the final reveal.

Illumination of an 800-meter stretch of highway at night: ALEXA 35 ES mode and SkyPanel X in use

Cinematographer Ralph Kaechele looks back on the shoot for the German-Austrian miniseries *Hundertdreizehn* (produced for ARD) — a drama centering on the various lives intertwined by a serious accident. While he continued to use the ALEXA Mini LF for the dramatic scenes, the night-time exterior shots—filmed on a dark, roughly 800-meter stretch of highway—called for the ALEXA 35 in ES (Enhanced Sensitivity) mode. This resulted in clear images featuring rich colors and highly detailed flames. Kaechele also discusses why ARRI Rental’s ALFA anamorphic lenses were so well-suited to a story told through faces, how he used SkyPanel X fixtures to simulate the glow of the fire behind the wrecked vehicles, how he matched LogC3 and LogC4 during the grading process, and much more.

Trailer de L'autre Laurens — The Other Laurens (French)

Claude Schmitz’s The Other Laurens (2023) follows a weary private detective drawn into the mystery surrounding his twin brother’s death. Its combination of family ghosts and noir intrigue provides an intriguing setting for cinematographer Florian Berutti’s unusual choice of equipment. Berutti shot the film on an Ikonoskop A-Cam DII, paired with a Cooke 10–30mm T1.6 zoom and LOMO Super Speed lenses—a distinctive package for a feature selected for Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight. The camera and lens selection alone makes this a particularly interesting film for anyone curious about alternative approaches to digital cinematography. What interests me most is the creative confidence behind this equipment choice. An unconventional camera and older lenses can still form a compelling visual language when they serve a coherent idea. The Other Laurens offers a fascinating starting point for thinking about how the tools we choose shape the worlds we put on screen.
