Very nice! Lenses and filters? What type?

Thanks for that information. The rental house now says they have one Formatt ND 1.2 Hot Mirror ND. So, I suppose I will stack standard ND, maybe a .3 or a .6 at most with that, with the hope that I...

My usual source for rental Formatt Hot Mirror ND filters did not come through for me on an upcoming shoot, so my next go-to rental house stocks Tiffen IRND. It is plain IRND, and they also carry a...

It's in the curves. Even in the standard RedGamma3, yes, skin tones can look very flat. You have to adjust the curves in order to pull the skin tones out. Although not "skin tones" per se , the...

The choice of camera is his. Here is a quote from Roger Deakins, regarding the upcoming Dragon sensor, answering a question about the likelihood of his interest in it, and why he prefers the optical...

Yes it would. The image would have to be a really big step over Alexa for that to happen. He does not like monitors as view finders. The optical variety works pretty well for him.

Is there anyone on The Planet Earth who has seen moving frames of Dragon footage yet? Anyone who could somehow characterize the aesthetic of the color, the "smoothness", if you get where I am coming...

"K's" as I call it, are about resolution, which for many on this website, is the beginning and end of any discussion about a camera. My opinion is that image aesthetic is of greater importance than...

My hunch, and this is just a hunch, is that Red is in a mad dash to get the color done, and it may be proving pretty tricky. If I read the brief description of the difference provided by the Dragon...

Yes, very good points. Which is why the policy of telling you that if you step in line now, based on the text book definition of faith, and then decide to opt out once you know more, your Scarlet is...

Don't get me wrong. I am very interested in Dragon, the new color science and implications of the DR. I couldn't care less about more K's. I have been making money off my scarlet for a year, and...

I think it looks fantastic. So does your LUT. Are you getting those colors in camera? Is the adapter doing any of that? What sort of Look are you using?

But does that mean the signal sent from the Kessler Control Module would be incompatible? I have sent the Red specs from the Scarlet manual about the triggering, which appears to be a somewhat...

Is anyone using the Oracle to trigger the Scarlet in time lapse mode with the new firmware? I am wondering what sort of cable is required and can be made to go from the Kessler Oracle and optional...

How about the fact that I do not own, have never owned, nor plan to ever own, a 5D.

Yeah, that is it exactly. And it seems to me that opening further than 5.6 just fills the frame with that lightened area. I dont think it actually goes away. What makes little sense to me is how...

Any chance my issue is due to both sets of Super Speeds I have used being in need of internal cleaning? Some sort of film from decades of moisture condensation and evaporation?

Well the camera in question here is actually a Scarlet. I posted on the Epic section thinking that part of the camera's construction identical, and more people would be exposed to the problem I have...

I don't have a sensor guard, but that sounds interesting.

The light source could be a lightly colored building reflecting direct sun, it could be a direct light source. Anything that throws a lot...

Has anyone else had issues with PL mount lenses like the Super Speeds getting light thrown back into the lens causing a light blue circle whose shape and size varies with, and matches, the lens...

Referring to my 4k Scarlet, "The image just isn't sharp enough. Can you make it look more crisp and digital?" Said by nobody. Ever.
What I do hear, over and over, from producers, directors, and...

Does anyone here have inside information as to WHICH Schneider Classic Soft filter was used by David Cronenworth in Hitchcock? Cronenworth says in ASC magazine he used "Schneider 1/2 Classic Soft",...

So...I have rented the Super Speeds before, and liked the flares, and the shoot coming up calls for liberal intentional flaring. I have budget for a full set of Supers for a week, but probably just...

That's pretty impressive actually. Could be useful for some projects or shots. Good to know! Any special Twixtor settings you'd care to share?

You are absolutely right. As much as I would like it not to be true, as much as I would like to say that the Red, or even Alexa, can match the quality of the film image - it just can't. Not yet. ...
