10 Scarlet Questions from Joseph Hutson

[Rob Schmitz]

Any chance that footage might come a day early?

My dream ...hope you are right.

My dream ...hope you are right.

Jarred's profile says he's creating a recon thread right now. Your dream might come true!

damn, scarlet footage!?

Jarred has been creating a thread for an hour now! What does that mean?

Now, does that mean that there will be more wobble/skew because the sensor is smaller? I was under the impression that read reset times on smaller sensors had to be faster to mitigate rolling shutter artifacts.

I don't think it would be any different. The entire sensor is read in 5ms - whether it be S35 or 2/3". So, the final skew will be 5ms worth from the top to the bottom. Jarred has given us the final read/reset time.

In fact, if you think about it, it is easier for a smaller sensor to achieve lesser skew assuming the read time for a single line is constant. Let's think about in a crude manner - A 5K sensor has to read 5000 lines from top to bottom. A 2K sensor has to read 2000 lines. It is quite obvious which of these sensors is likely to read/reset faster. Translating to the real world, there are likely to be several other factors and other bottlenecks. 5ms is the final value, a very respectable read/reset time and is pretty much ideal, really.

He fell asleep at the keyboard.

He fell asleep at the keyboard.

Or, he's creating one mega-thread!

Next weekend

Thats this weekend!
I've been a good boy this week, I hope the RED will reward we with footage!
(I'm going to start referring to RED as a entity. The RED is not amused.)

Don't sweat it. As long as you keep us in the loop (which I know you will) I don't care I don't see footage this weekend. Although If you can find away to shoot a bit and avoid death, Please do.

Dude, keep the wife happy. We're all crazy excited to see the footage, but a couple days isn't gonna make any difference.
