Arri Alexa Mini vs RED Epic-W Helium Test

By Charlie Anderson, Alex Chinnici, Justin Derry, and Oren Soffer.
A test shoot comparing the Arri Alexa to RED’s new Helium sensor. Our goal was not to create a “scientific” test in which we compared the cameras in lab conditions; rather, we set out to create a variety of real-world lighting set-ups in which we could push both sensors to their limits and compare them at these extremes.
