NEWS RELEASE

CODEX AT THE MOVIES IN SPRING 2014

London, England, April 2, 2014 – Codex (www.codexdigital.com) recording 

and workflow technologies were used in the production of a wide range of 

Hollywood studio and independent motion pictures on release in the coming 

months – from touching teenage romances and dance comedies, to high-octane 

racing dramas and VFX-laden sci-fi fantasies.

Codex recording technology has been embraced by Marvel Studios to streamline 

the capture-to-post workflow on several high-profile productions, the most recent 

of these being Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Cinematographer Trent 

Opaloch chose to frame the action in a widescreen anamorphic format, captured 

by ARRI Alexa Plus cameras shooting ARRIRAW with a 4:3 sensor and Codex 

Onboard S recorders.

“The most important thing for me was to get the best image, with the best 

camera system, using a bombproof pipeline from camera to edit,” says Opaloch. 

“Marvel has had a great, successful run over a number of pictures with Alexa and 

Codex. They’ve invested in Codex Vault. I was very happy with the Alexa/Codex 

combination. Technically, I never felt any restrictions.”

For Marvel’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, Newton Thomas Sigel ASC shot native 

3D using dual ARRI Alexa M cameras, Codex recorders and TS5 3D rigs from 

3ality, with Codex recording up to 60fps in ARRIRAW for each channel.

Regarding the Codex/ARRIRAW workflow, Sigel said, “It helps in terms of colour 

correction and image quality, because you’re getting the highest resolution 

possible. I like the look of Alexa very much. It’s a kind of softer look, with more 

half-tones, more variations of colour, and it’s a better look for this project. In 

post, starting from scratch with the ARRIRAW image gives you the greatest 

range, and the maximum ability to manipulate and make subtle adjustments.”

In a record-breaking performance, Codex Onboard S recorders were used to 

capture intense racing sequences and other material for the DreamWorks SKG 

action film Need For Speed. Cinematographer Shane Hurlbut ASC deployed eight 

Codex recorders to support more than 35 cameras that were utilised to shoot the 

movie, often under the most extreme conditions.

Hurlbut’s camera package included multiple Canon C500s and ARRI Alexas. Prior 

to the start of production, Hurlbut conducted tests with the cameras and Codex 

recorders to ensure they could stand up to extreme conditions and deliver the 

expected results.

“We placed an Onboard S in a car, then drove it around a track at 135mph; it 

came through with flying colours,” said Hurlbut. “Codex recorders are tried and 

true. They can take the pounding, vibration and speed.”

Hurlbut noted that Codex recorders were also essential to recording high-speed 

media with the C500. “Codex recorders are my go-to device for the Canon C500 

– without them you can only capture 1080p. 120fps, 72fps, and 48fps were 

rolling on every stunt event, and that was for 58 out of the 67-day schedule.”

To capture the moves on dance comedy Cuban Fury (Big Talk/Studio Canal), 

cinematographer Dick Pope BSC deployed a trio of ARRI Alexa cameras, using 

Cooke S4 lenses, recording ARRIRAW to Codex OnBoard M recorders. The 

production also used dual Codex Vault systems as part of streamlined cloning, 

QC, LTO-tape archive and deliverables workflow, which enabled material to 

rapidly enter editorial and for the data packs to be efficiently recycled. 

“Codex Vault was perfect for this production, as it allowed us to remain small 

scale,” observed Peter Marsden, Cuban Fury DIT. “Normally on a digital feature, 

you have lots of equipment that adds lots of weight to the camera truck, but 

all that was reduced to a single, compact machine. We didn’t have the risk of 

sending original camera media off-set for processing. It was all done within the 

confines of the location. Codex Vault clones the media very quickly and provided 

the assurance that it was correct and secure.”

Other movies that harnessed Codex in their camera to post workflows, 

and coming soon to cinemas include: Maleficent (Walt Disney Pictures), 

cinematographer Dean Semler ACS ASC; The Fault In Our Stars (20th Century 

Fox), cinematographer Ben Richardson; Hercules (MGM/Paramount/Spyglass), 

cinematographer Dante Spinotti AIC ASC; and Under The Skin (Film4/BFI/Studio 

Canal), cinematographer Dan Landin BSC.
