"We tested ALL the digital camera's available and against film and we chose the RED MX for Pirates of the Caribbean 4. We have had no camera problems with the RED ONEs and we have had the kind of support that is above and beyond the call. We didn't know what to expect when we started with 13 RED ONE MX cameras (supplied from Panavision), but the cameras are performing flawlessly under extreme conditions and we could not be happier. Thank you to the people and the incredible support from both Panavision and RED. If we had to make the decision again we wouldn't change a thing."

Sounds like a good report card.

I have the same experience, albeit with 12 fewer cameras :)

But almost the same budget :)

Did I mention that Pirates 4 is a $300M budget movie?

Really ? And that's what Disney calls a "cheaper Pirates of The Carribean" ?
(I've read somewhere on the Internet that they wanted to do a cheaper one because P3 didn't work as they wanted)

Anyway, GREAT news for RED !

I remember reading they moved production to Hawaii to save money for the fourth and just assumed that meant it had a much smaller budget.

How the hell much did the first three cost?!

Curse of the Black Pearl: 125 million

Amazing R1-MX news!!!

The images they are creating with the RED's are breathtaking. Dariusz and Trevor Loomis, and of course Jeroen Hendriks who is supporting them on set have been incredible to work with.
