Recently, the newly founded ARRI Digital
Workflow Solutions group presented its
“Workflow Guidelines: Recommended
Practice for Shooting with ARRIFLEX D-21.”
This technical information is designed to
help customers working with ARRI’s first
digital camera to decide which workflow
best suits their needs. The guide provides
an in depth explanation of the individual
camera modes, such as HD, ARRIRAW and
Mscope, as well as of the various recording
options, and addresses the pros and cons
of each of these processes. This takes the
hassle out of the complexities of a digital
shoot and the postproduction involved in
creating the desired final product. An update
will be soon made available at the
launch of ALEXA. The new “Recommended
Practices” are going to illustrate and explain
more streamlined workflows that are introduced
by new options such as recording
compressed images to onboard memory
storage and the ARRIRAW Partner Program.
Digital Workflow Solutions was established
in late 2009 and is headed by Henning
Rädlein, who was in charge of the Digital
Intermediate, Commercials and Visual
Effects departments of ARRI’s postproduction
subsidiary, ARRI Film&TV. Other members
of this task force are: Christian “Geoffrey“
Grafwallner, previously R&D Supervisor at
ARRI Film&TV; Oliver Temmler, Application
Engineer in the camera department; Andreas
Berkl, previously responsible for the supervision
of digital shoots at ARRI Rental Germany;
as well as the colorist Florian “Utsi“
Martin (THE LOVELY BONES, PERFUME, LORD
OF THE RINGS).

Digital Workflow Solutions is entrusted with
defining system-based solutions for the integration
of ARRI’s digital products, based on
existing equipment and with publishing
relevant guidelines. They make recommendations
for the development of file-based
workflows for the ALEXA Digital Camera
System and are committed to user trainings.
Adrian Widera, product manager for storage
and partner solutions, who initiated the
ALEXA Direct-to-Edit concept and developed
the ARRIRAW Partner Program, supports the
Digital Workflow Solutions group.
In spring 2010 ARRI opens the doors to its new
showroom and training center at its Munich
headquarters. There, the workflow group will
showcase various cameras, all related postproduction
processes, and offer trainings. The
group will also be available as an advisory
and service partner, providing their customers
with tailor-made solutions for their individual
needs. Equipped with Apple and Avid workstations,
the newly created facility features
various HD and raw data storage solutions,
as well as show casing data management,
finishing and color correction software of
various partner companies.
Digital Workflow Solutions will also develop
custom-made workflows and solutions for
the ARRISCAN, ARRILASER, and ARRICUBE,
as well as for their clients’ keykode and
meta data management needs. Currently,
the group provides support for productions
shooting on D-21 in ARRIRAW and for the
first feature shot with ALEXA: ANONYMOUS
