Shooting On RED Starring Michael Douglas

[Mark Pugh]

You're using this with the Red Batteries?

Aah I took a closer look.
Very nice. Will get me one of those.

I'm about to order the Panasonic BT-LH900A from B&H, is there anything I need to know about physically mounting it to the camera? How did you guys have it mounted?

Thanks,

Rich

Nope, adjusting settings in camera is metadata only. It doesn't alter the image recorded to the R3D file in any way.

Does it apply the settings from the camera to the proxies ?

Yes the changes to camera carry over to proxies.

As far as image quality and the organic feel, it's not even close to film.

Hi Radiant,

I shoot with master Prime and RED One too. I feel exactly the same. Recently I view the Netcafe commercial. Much more organic. In fact, I feel that old lenses have better softness and anamorphic crank even better the DOF. Less contrast lenses give much better results, and as long as new lenses tends to give much better MTB. What do you think?

I use to only shoot on Cooke S4's and still use them on selected job's.

I feel the combination of RED & Master Primes, in low light makes a great choice.

We just performed a film out on our most recent work, starring Michael Douglas. I must say that once the it's projected on a big screen.
The Master Primes have the best overall organic look and feel.

Thanks Michael,

You are on a NDA actually? Or could you post some pic? Do you shoot wide open on master prime (1,3?)

[radiant]

We are mostly shoot wide open to 1.3 on the Arri Master Primes, due to the fact we mostly shoot night exterior.
How do you feel with using the Master Primes?
