  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Dragon uncaged...

This has been said dozens of times... Red is not collecting money until you actually ship your camera to them which doesn't start until September and if you're not in line yet, it is hard to say how long it will be. You can be sure that you will see a ton of images and footage (maybe even a movie) by the time money is actually transacted. So wait all you want... but the line is only get longer.

No worries Andy, the new piano has been cancelled. I'm in the process of getting Dragon now.

If the piano is for your wife or child, I'd do the piano and do Dragon when your business can afford it. But if the business funds are there, I wouldn't let lack of seeing images keep you from getting in line... that's all I was saying. :)

Nothing is "truly" known at this point other than previously mentioned much improved IR protection.

It's actually one of those things I'm most excited to test out on Dragon.

I just bought some new tiffen hot mirror irnd (thanks to your recomendation Phil). Do you think this would cause problems, or should it not really matter? I would think it would be ok, but what the hell do I know.

I think it is that good. That's what I've heard. If Graemme can nail perfect skin tones out of the box/without fuss (currently, we need to fuss a little in post) then it will kill every other camera out there. I'm glad I didn't recently buy an Alexa.

Music to my ears...

Literally don't know anything until all that's tested. I wouldn't freak out or anything though :) Go shoot and proceed as normal for the time being.

I'm actually a professional pianist, and the piano was going to be for me. But I think Dragon is more important. Just wish I can see some samples. Spent an hour on the phone with Steinway trying to explain to them that I was on the fence between the Model B and a sensor upgrade for my camera.

How are these two items even remotely related price-wise? "Steinway B"??? These pianos on the used market start at $30K-$40K.

Just sayin...
 
Maybe a Dragon "coming out" party is in need for this milestone... Gotta celebrate the good ones.

Every once in awhile the hard work and endless effort seems to pay off. This is one of those times.

You get to a place that satisfies all your effort. Then it is time to move on to the next milestone.

I'm happy to take a brief moment to celebrate here... the Dragon. It is everything we hoped it would be...

Where's this low light test? Did you post it Phil?

Phil Holland said:
Very likely the first .R3Ds from Dragon you'll see will come from Red and there will be a "crispy fresh" version of Red Cine-X Pro to accompany it.

I would personally expect to see a .jpg (which we have, but from an early camera and color science) or perhaps a .tif if Jarred is feeling generous :)

This was mostly in reference to shooting into the darkness out in the desert and one other shoot where I played with the ISO a bit.

Maybe they (Steinway) have a long-term payment plan? '-)
 
Phil...any chance of seeing some footage to download and test soon?
 
Hi Alain. I may suggest you read a few of the last pages of this thread about the circumstances around this night shoot and how the Dragon files can't work on the current redcine anyhow. In any case, its coming soon.

Thanks Bob...It's just the anxiety makes us all nervious... LOL
 
Hi all,

In order to complete a project for a 1.3636 giant screen and a 4K projector, we are considering shooting with the Dragon; our clients however requires a DCP made of at least 3 different
Epic Dragon shots in r3D. Can anyone PM a server where I can download such r3d files ?
 
Not for a while Bertrand. Need to wait for Dragon and the new RCX to officially enter the wild before footage will be readily available.
