Hey Dominik,

I used to be really into stabilized Octocopters, and have done quite a bit of research on the topic. I wasn't able to find an exact one that met my specifications (particularly due to...

The in-camera compression is ultimately destructive compression (i.e. to ProRes or DNxHD), not a raw compression. That's what I was getting at.

Well, you have a point...but how can a company claim to shoot "at 4k" when they can't deliver 4k resolution in any format? Isn't that considered false advertising?

P.s. didn't hear about the...

I love companies that boast about their sensor resolution when they don't have the necessary processing power to deliver the image to its full potential. Jim and Jarred did something similar to call...

Good point Nick,

I know doubling up is sort of a cop out when it comes to professional film sets, but keep in mind that I am on a very tight budget, and the whole crew for the project will consist...

Sounds about right, thanks for the tip Blair.

Yes, I'm going to need someone to double up. Our production budget is really small, but fortunately our client is providing a budget to cover our...

Hey all,

I have a project coming up that's really monumental for my business in the next two weeks (it's probably small time for most of you), but I really need this video I'm producing to shine....

What was the shutter speed used in the original shoot? The "jittery"-ness of the shots can sometimes be from a strange shutter speed. Just remember that if you shot at 30fps with a shutter speed of...

Can we start a thread on RAID arrays optimized for large file sizes? (Such as RED footage)?

I'm thinking http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816111168

and filling it with 8 of...

Hey, kind of a side note here...but can anyone tell me the benefits of having 4x5.6'' filter trays as opposed to 4x4 filter trays, like many other matteboxes do? I know the aspect ratio of the RED...

Canon EF-S 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS

$400 OBO. Selling it because I rarely use it in my kit. I shoot a lot of low light footage, and am saving up for something with a bit wider aperture. A decent...

Paul,

Can you post some framegrabs from a low light shoot (any will do) from both the 10-22 and the 17-55? (wide open preferrably).

I do a lot of low light shooting, and also am on a budget :(...

It's not about size it's about speed. No other [verified] module OR cards will get you full 4k without dropped frames or without voiding your warranty from RED. Nothing else will get you the...

I'm speechless...you've got a DOF of over a mile, and yet nothing is out of focus. Brilliant Jim. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

Multiple focal points? or static focus?

Looks great, Jim. Any chance you took a similar picture with the Scarlet and some mini primes for comparison reasons? :)

The tour is a great idea. But then you'll have to have the lock-in seats like they did in Jurassic Park, or else all the cinematographers are going to want to touch the baby Epic's.

Haha Jeff, that was my original point -- whether or not it's worth it to drop FCP7 and go to Premier 5.5 and stick with my Win7 full time. (which would save time and hassle). TY for the feedback...

I will try what Sudhadip said first, and if I end up not actually liking it for some reason (which from what I hear, I doubt I will), then I'll give Tom's method a try. The shitty thin is that either...

Bump.

Hey Guys,

I have a core i5 2.7GHz with 8GB of ram, nVidia GTX 260, running a 4-drive Raid 0 with a separate 1.5tb backup internal drive.

Right now I have it set up as a hackintosh, I can boot...
