Discovery Channel shoot - Atlas Japan

[Paul Leeming]

I've just finished four days in Nara shooting the first part of a Discovery Channel show called Atlas Japan using our M-X Red One, for Papillon Magic (the production company), directed by Sang Yul Chang.

Here are four still captures (from the moving footage) to show the amazing capabilities and dynamic range of the Mysterium-X sensor in all sorts of lighting situations. Everything was shot on Canon EF lenses using the Birger/Viewfactor combo to drive them. Shot in 4KHD 23.98fps as it's destined for HDTV screens. Build 30.5.0 was used and all the images below are straight out of RedCine-X (build 256) and resized in Photoshop to 1920x1080 using Bi-cubic Sharper (click on the images to view them in that resolution).

I'll be shooting the next part of this documentary later this month. Until then, enjoy!

What was that deer shot on? Lens wise.
Beautiful work.

That shot was using my Canon EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM at around T5.6 and 3 stops of ND. ISO800 on camera.

Cheers!

This was taken with my Canon EOS 7D and EF24mm f/1.4L MkII USM, wide open (just posting it for fun!):



The camera was about 20cm from his (or her?) nose!

Enjoy!

Sick! These look like still photos, not video grabs.

I'm already jealous and/or envious as it is that you get to live and work in Japan doing what you love.....

Can't imagine the frame grab to be so good. Red Team Hat's off to your VISION and commitment to deliver such a revolutionary product.
