How to load an Arri S 16mm film camera


The Arri S from Dan O'Brien on Vimeo.

Still photography really interests me, but my creative endeavors are more rooted in cinematography. I work in the LMU SFTV Camera Department, and my boss asked me to make this little how-to video for the beginning cinematography classes to use as a reference. 

Loading one of these machines really makes me appreciate the filmmaking process. You rarely see this kind of precision and workmanship anymore; such an intuitive design. Analog equipment is so much cooler than digital gear, if you ask me.
