There are easier ways to do this shoot, but shooting against black as Dylan suggests is also my preference.

Lighting a car is really all about the reflections and edges.

Shooting against black...

If you already have SuperSpeeds, then that would be my choice too.

Still photo lenses have an interesting look. I immediately thought of the Leica R when reading this thread, although I've only...

How little you understand the little marvel you are using.

The short version is that if you are worried about delivering 4K in the near or intermediate term, Scarlet is an excellent tool if its...

Ketch!!!

Too long my friend! Hope all is well.

You don't have a picture of that setup actually in operation on one of your cameras do you?

You can convert the SDI to wireless HDMI using your last SDI loop through, perhaps back at video village.

Or Meizler when its available for 802.11 wireless.

Its pretty exciting.

I haven't played with one yet ... but I am thinking the same thing ... +1 Module or Meizler ALL THE TIME.

Dual EVF never occurred to me though. Do your ACs appreciate that?

Let me get this straight ...

You have a Red Scarlet.

In a world where feature films have been shot on Canon 7D and 5DMK2 DSLR's. Craptacular 8bit subsampled cameras that don't even have decent...

Everyone is spot on, but I want to emphasize that you NEED more RAM.

So, if you do nothing else, go get more RAM. Just buy all you can afford for your Mac.

If you have a 2010 or later Mac 24GB...

I recommend rolling your own PC right now. The prebuilts gaming machines lack a few key features. (That will change in the coming months, but not just yet.)

CS6 Cloud seems to be the way to go,...

To save everyone a Google...

This is a stock 8 core Mac Pro 2010. Its $3499 new from Apple, slightly less elsewhere.

I have one too, and will also entertain cash offers.

Amazing Spider Man trailers have shots with practical gunfire.

Enjoy

I agree with what you say about Red and their products ...

I just think you unfairly discount DSLR's. I think I've shot perhaps one shot at f/1.2 and maybe five shots at f/1.4. I generally shoot...

Its about the style of work you do.

I tend to get involved in projects with a lot of effects work that I composite.

I see Smoke as Media Composer with Nuke all rolled up into one.

For...

Well, it really is just over exposure. But you are getting there an odd way.

The native sensitivity of the R1 MX is EI320 and the Epic/Scarlet are at EI800. Despite the cute settings on the...

Hmmm ... this depends a lot on what you plan on shooting with and for.

For Epic 5K I really recommend full frame SLR lenses, and their derivatives.

The problem with the Red 18-50 and the Red...

Well, these tests are always going to be acrimonious. No matter how well they are done, you will make some mistakes ... Or leave out some step or detail that someone feels is critical.

This isn't...

I expect to use AB or V mount with the camera.

Of course I'm ot very impressed with RedVolt, so I plan on using that sort of system with Epic.

The internal battery is really a nice feature ......

I recommend the full frame lenses, because they are better lenses.

That said, I have yet to have a problem with any APS C lens I've tried.

That includes the aforementioned Tokina 11-16 and the...

I saw some of the same interviews Mike mentions. I can confirm his point that they have publicly said that they wish to enable more features in answer to questions about frame rates ... right now...

Well, I bill hard costs + payroll up front.

So, my crew is 100% covered. After all they shouldn't get the shaft because I do. Also, I shouldn't be out of pocket on any project.

For my services,...

I'm going to buy the BMD Cinema Camera.

Its not a Red.

Its roughly comparable to a Scarlet at 3K. Both cameras have a similar sensor area.

Scarlet shoots 48fps RAW and can crop the sensor to...

You are absolutely right that 709 scopes not useful for absolute exposure control of raw footage.

It is useful for relative exposure.

I mean, it doesn't matter what the LUT is or how anything...

That statement is an oxymoron.

Film shot at any frame rate looks like film.

You know ... because it actually is film.

You don't like high frame rates? Cool ... but lets not get overboard...

Yeah! What that guy said!

Oh, that couldn't have anything to do with Public Enemies being shot on an early F900 and Lawless being shot on an Alexa?

Those are two radically different cameras!

It couldn't have to do with...
