ARRI ALEXA SXT-EV Info Session

April 15, 2025

6 PM - 9 PM EST

Instructor: Gaganpreet Singh

Overview

Interested in learning more about our ARRI ALEXA SXT-EV? Join us for a free info session led by Ottawa-based cinematographer Gaganpreet Singh.

The ARRI ALEXA SXT-EV is a cinema grade camera that can shoot up to 120 frames per second in ProRes or RAW in 4K (aka 3.2K) in anamorphic, open gate, 4:3, or 16:9 modes. ARRI cameras rank highly on successful features at Cannes and other tour de force film festivals.

In this info session, we’ll explore the basics of the SXT-EV body, key functions, assembly, and set up, before getting into formats and data management. We’ll also talk about DARC’s ARRI rental package and hear from DARC members as they discuss the projects they have created using the ARRI. Participants will be invited to take part in an interactive demo and will have an opportunity to explore the functions of the SXT-EV.

This info session serves as an introduction to DARC’s upcoming ARRI production workshop in May.

Please note that only DARC Extended Access members can book the ARRI ALEXA SXT-EV after completing the ARRI production workshop.

About DARC's Workshops

Digital Arts Resource Centre (DARC) provides training in a varied range of disciplines related to filmmaking and media art while making a dedicated effort to create a pathway to an intersectional education. We aspire to be a platform for creative support and community building through active participation and exchange of knowledge. Our workshops and courses explore the ways in which technical and conceptual frameworks can be used as tools to improve your creative practice. DARC’s educational offerings are open to members and the general public engaged in the creation of non-commercial, independent productions and work.

Who Is Eligible to Register for Workshops?

Workshops are open to Digital Arts Resource Centre members and the general public engaged in the creation of non-commercial, independent productions and work (Non-commercial, independent productions are productions for which the director retains copyright and artistic control, and for which the production is neither being produced for a client nor for the purpose of advertising or promotion).

Who Is Ineligible for Workshops?

Digital Arts Resource Centre does not offer our workshops to persons employed by any government body or any major corporation if the resources are being used to facilitate benefit for one’s employer or for corporate professional development within one of these kinds of organizations. Our workshops are heavily subsidized as they are available only for independent artists/learners who cannot typically afford to take corporate rate workshops. You can find non-subsidized workshops from our friends at SPAO or Henry’s.

Workshop Pricing

DARC’s single-session online workshops are offered on a sliding scale, meaning individuals determine their own fee based on what they can afford.

We understand that everyone’s situation is different. When registering for workshops, we ask that you honestly examine your privilege (i.e. education, generational wealth, parental or community support, partnership status, and other circumstances that may provide a safety net when financial setbacks occur).

DARC also offers a no cost ticket option if access to funds is a barrier to participation. For more information please email us.
