I came to realize, spending time with the development team, that although it's a brand new camera, it's based on ALEXA.It's not really a new camera system at all, it's an enhanced ALEXA, so I felt very comfortable in that way, as did all the post people. SD: I spent almost a year observing the development of the ALEXA 65 and had shot tests with it at Shepperton, so it wasn't such a leap of faith. Was it considered a risk, to be the first to use the system in this way?
I believe high-end feature films should offer superior image quality over conventional content and that's something ALEXA 65 can definitely deliver. We planned to release the film in different formats, such as IMAX, 4K and 2K, which would benefit from ALEXA 65's large and high-resolution sensor. Later I found out that "The Great Wall" was the first film to be mainly shot with ALEXA 65. I made the decision right after I learned about the camera. Zhang Yimou: Before we started principle photography Stuart did tests and recommended the ALEXA 65 to me.
