my film look for my first independently produced film which I'm also directing

[Tom Gough]

i've already written the script you idiot - it won awareds and is being financed by warner brothers independent film department, so please take your unnessecarry negativity and ill will and jump off a cliff.

LOL :lol:

Must use this for my next interview :lol:

With that attitude Swifty you're going nowhere fast!!

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

sorry for sounding like an amateur - my knowledge of cinema/production/writing/film business is greater than my knowledge of being able to instantly make a scene look filmable.

So you're basically just lacking 50% of what makes a filmmaker a filmmaker! :rolleyes5:

As David Koepp said: "It's easy to imagine beautiful images, but it's hard to make them work on the screen!"

i've already written the script you idiot - it won awareds and is being financed by warner brothers independent film department, so please take your unnessecarry negativity and ill will and jump off a cliff.

With all that money how about hiring a real DP and worrying about what you do best?! :coolgleamA:

Not sure if anyone else in this thread has already linked to THIS OTHER THREAD, but it's probably worth repeating...

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

What 'independent' department of Warners would that be, then? They shuttered back in '08.

heheh

yah im pretty sure warners independent and new lines independent group both took a dive in 08' and thus dont exist anymore..
so either you waited wayyyy to long.. or its a BS story

either way this thread is hilarious

 

[s. swift]

I read most of that link you provide, if that person is serious than that's hilarious.

That thing I said:

''i've already written the script you idiot - it won {awareds: and is being financed by warner brothers independent film department, so please take your unnessecarry negativity and ill will and jump off a cliff.''

I aimed that purely at one individual who made an incredibly negative and sarcastic remark - not to mention a completely unprovoked and uncalled for remark - NOT AT EVERYONE .

thanks.

that merger may have shut down but warners still finance outside developments if they believe in the quality of what they're seeing - primarily the script; I'm under no illusion they could pull the plug at any time. It has not been greenlit and

has only 50% chance of going ahead on a low,low budget.

thanks Gunleik Groven

I know about the sensor upgrade just wondering what 's the big diffference between the original and the new would I be better off with the new

as in is the quality provided by the new mysterium sensor hugely improved versus the original

Also where can I get an un - upgraded original as it sold only 2nd hand and only on the postings on this forum?

peace out.

You have a bit less latitude, and you'll need some more lights, it's a bit more temparamentful, but I am really a sucker for the image from the M....

Okay, no offense, but so far you've displayed an awful lot of naivete with your questions, which is okay as you're starting out.

I would honestly just hire a DoP as you seem to be asking to learn a lot in such a short space of time, when really you should focus on the story and direction side of production. I've had 20 years of camera experience but I have no intention of lighting my own film. A DoP will help you decide the best camera/post route, of which Red I am sure will be one. Maybe by the time you have the dosh, Epic will be out.

Also I wouldn't go justifying yourself by saying that the film is financed when it's obvious that it's nowhere near being greenlit, going off what you said. That also just looks silly.

Now take a deep breath, get the film financed AND greenlit (they are actually two different things) and hire a DoP. And good luck.

Jaime - nice link, oh so true.

 

[s. swift]

also do the origian l red's shoot 4k I thought that was the idea but I've heard that the image can be compressed and loose its quality and be knocked back to 2-3k???

 

[Bryce O]

What kind of script is it? Action or dialog driven? Because if there is going to be allot of dialog and bantering, you can forget about buying just one camera. No point in having a nice 4k image if there is a chance that performances are going to suffer.

There are many schools of thought on this, but unless he has a top shelf ensemble, or a cast of children, I wouldn't be so concerned about covering dialogue with multiple cams. Shoot it with one, and be certain that your editor knows their shit.

I was just throwing it out there since he said it was the first film he's directing. It takes some practice to nail continuity with one cam...

You need to check your attitude, buddy.

 

[Charles Angus]

And the rest of us need to stop feeding the trolls.

Because S. Swift is either a troll, or too rude and ungrateful to be worth helping. Either way, I'd say this discussion is over.

 

[Craig W. Bickerstaff]

i've no doubt that someone will say you spent awards wrong, and therefore your script must be terrible - don't bother, thanks to everyone else,

You know you can in fact edit your posts, you don't have to make a new one to correct the previous ones spelling.

 

[s. swift]

YES so can someone please let me know the image quality of red one 4k as in does it stay in 4k or loose the quality, due to compression.

I'm eager and greatful to know

thanks.

 

[Gunleik Groven]

@ 4k you get ca 3.2k effective pixelresolution. Tis is not due to compression, but a side effect of the OLPF.

I can't mention one other genreally available cam that gives you more resolution than the RED 1, though, and it makes for a beautifull fullrez 1080/2k - which films have been finnished in for almost as long as DI have existed, so this is hardly a limiting factor.

The R1 M and the MX are basically different in many ways. Lowlight latitude being one of the places they differ.

I happen to really like the image from the M, as a matter of opinion.

I also happen to like the MX.

You will have to do some tests and decide yourself. At this level of cameras, there are no really bad ones, but "different".

I think it would be a good idea if you signed in with your real name...

If I was to get a red one and put on zeiss lenses would the desired pro look happen

or simply a mish mash of differing grains and gamma rays???
