As usual, Red is terribly late being first. It's like Usain Bolt apologising for being slow when the rest of the field is five paces back.

The BMD pocket camera looks cheap at first... But consider GoPro. They may still have an ace up their sleeve. 4K for $4K is cool. Hope they've got their sensor supplier issues sorted.

As for BMD's...

Great post Phil.

It strikes me that stills guys-turned-cinematographers have embraced Red so wholeheartedly because they were already hip to the whole digital RAW thing before Red came along. So...

A waveform will monitor a video signal, such as that coming out of the video tap. It's not a representation of the RAW image being recorded. In other words, not a reliable way to judge exposure on a...

I used to shoot model headshots on a Contax RTS with the 85mm f1.4. Pretty much required a #1 Softar for most models' skin. Only thing stopping that from being about as good a lens as I ever used was...

Post workflow really does seem to be a blind spot for Red. For a company so good at listening on every other little thing it's weird. I too don't get it.

Just stumbled onto this on Nikon Rumours if anyone is interested.

I've been waiting for this to happen - the patent on Redcode RAW was always going to be Red's ace in the hole. Jim was smart enough to patent the compression of RAW when nobody else had even given it...

Ad guys? Overkill? Nooo!;-)

One more thing occurs to me. Given the issue of IR contamination, are efforts being made to increase the effectiveness of the IR block filter on the sensor as sensitivity increases? I would say each...

Funny how Red's famous (and well deserved) reputation for listening to their customers comes to a screaching halt on the subject of Red Rockets and post decompression. Just sayin'.

BTW, the images...

Quote of the year! Awesome!

And it seems to me, from reading Jannard's posts, that that is exactly what they are offering. I've seen no indication yet that Dragon will become compulsory with Epic. So you'll have the choice of...

Yeah, "21 stops of DR is of no use. 13.5 stops is precisely the correct amount. And 6k? We've been saying for years now that 4k is what the industry needs."

HOLY CRAP! That's amazing. Scarlet owners should be happy. And something not yet brought up. The Red One trade-in program resulted in 4k for 4k. Sooner or later those traded Scarlets will be set...

If it means getting an undo button that works in the "real" world, I'm up for it.

Ed Burns says he's now getting his movies in the can for under $10k. Exchange his DSLR for a Scarlet and open an ODEMAX account. How many indie cinemas do you need across the US, Europe, Asia and...

:-) I was about to post exactly the same reply to you!

Seems to me there are two kinds of people on this thread my friend. Those within the system and those without. Someone once said that most...

HOLY CRAP! You guys have really thought this through and I love the angle you're coming from.

Also, I know next to nothing about what's required for VFX on high end CG movies but one thing I've...

OK.

How about doing a little demo of .RED for the users here to see for themselves ?

Here is what I would do:

Take a 1K window out of a 4K media file.
Compress this with .RED at 6...

That is awesome news Jon. I was watching a few trailers on the Apple site last night and was struck, as usual, by the number of really, really interesting looking movies out there that we will simply...

Bear in mind as well the new price of Epic. When the extra cost of the Scarlet upgrade is taken into consideration it might just make more sense to go Epic anyway.

I can't believe anyone would use the word "real" when speaking of a Lurhman film. His movies always polarise opinion. He clearly doesn't give a tinkers cuss for any of it and does exactly what he...

Thanks Jarred. Thanks for never sleeping.

Are my eyes deceiving me or are Nikon mounts only available with Scarlet? Not listed with Epic?
