TOTAL RECALL shoots EPIC

[Jarred Land]

Im glad to announce that Len Wiseman and Paul Cameron begin shooting TOTAL RECALL this week on Epic.

From Paul Cameron :


Epic.

It's hard not to face the reality of what EPIC brings to the table. It's ability to render a noise free image at 800 ISO with the lattitude to back it up. HDRX is really what seperates it from film. The abilty to take a second exposure real time to maintain detail in highlights 6 stops over is something i believe will make a lot of cinematographer thrilled.

As I take it through the paces I am finding it possible to render a very tactile filmic look. On this picture I am using Panavision C Series Aanamorphics and going for extreme flares and halation in areas of the frame. The more I deconstuct it the better its looking.

Game on.

Paul Cameron, ASC

Very much looking forwards to seeing this!

[Benoît-Joan Clariana-Roig]

No it's not a sequel, it's an adaptation from the book. ^^

 

[Matthew Duclos]

Glad to see Epic is being adopted so well. Also, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel on the same screen? Yes please.

 

[michael zaletel]

Great!

 

[Jarred Land]

I cant wait for you guys to see how good this stuff looks......

 

[Jeremy Torrie]

And here I thought those secret Red anamorphics might make an appearance up in Toronto!

 

[Peter Mosiman]

Dope. Cast on this thing looks stellar too.

I love the C-series, can't wait to see how they perform on the Epic.

 

[David Mullen ASC]

Is there a 5K ANA mode on the Epic yet or is Paul Cameron just recording 5K 2:1 or something like that and planning on reframing in post?

 

[Steve Johnson]

This is great news. Going to be so much better than the first film!

Another congrats RED team!

 

[Joe Carney]

Is this supposed to be a more fathful adaptation of the book then the "ahnold" version? I usually hate remakes.

 

[Joe Carney]

Glad to see Epic is being adopted so well. Also, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel on the same screen? Yes please.

That alone might make it worth watching.

 

[Curran Giddens]

This has to be good. In 2D, right?

 

[NormLi]

I heard 2D yes.

Will they be able to use a module to allow for bomb EVF and LCD at the same time? I imagine shooting off the touchscreen LCD on such a big production will be difficult.
Is there any video breakout boxes to allow for more BNC outputs from the main brain? Maybe one for an onboard SDI monitor and the other 1 or 2 to feed to village?

Paul is going to be doing some insanely cool stuff on this picture... get excited, everybody!

 

[Liam Hall]

Three-breasted hookers in 5K Anamorphic. It's what teenage fantasies are made of

 

[Jesper Sichlau]

Is this officially the first (Hollywood) film shot on 2D Epic?

 

[Jeremy Torrie]

But I haven't even been to Mars!

 

[Jarred Land]

Is this officially the first (Hollywood) film shot on 2D Epic?

heh heh heh... stay tuned.
