  • 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 :)

Just skipped to the last page and haven't read all the posts, so this may have already been answered... did the car win the race?

Something about how RED One picks up detail in smoke-whether a cigar, gun barrel, or burnt rubber you gotta love the detail/definition. Maybe just a foresight about RED smokin the competition but whatever it is, it sure is pretty.

Yeah - that's normally a codec killer. That blue sky looks great too...
 
The last shot was with the 18-50mm T3 zoom and was shot "blind" (no monitor). I used the old "Sunny 16" rule for exposure since I had no monitor or light meter. The clip is really pretty impressive. I just need some time to get it posted.

We lost 1st round. Bummer. But we are still in the Championship chase. Thanks for asking.

So when will the camera be put into the car. Is it once the 100fps feature is enabled or will you be testing soon?
 
Amazing stuff.
Some beautiful shots JJ.
I can't wait to rig #922 to my ZX-12R for a jaunt in the country...
It'll have to wait till Canadian spring though!

So, that was your car? Explains a lot. You apparently built this camera and drove your employees just so you could finish in time to record this race? You sir, are just another self-gratifying illionare!

Oh, sorry about the race... but happy about the camera. G'luck in the Chase.

P.S. Robbie Gordon was looking for a sponsor last I heard... maybe not a full sponsorship, but a little RED spot on his left front fender? He's going to get into enough scrapes that he will definitely get some exposure.

I brought 4 CF cards. I shoot, go to the motorhome, download, wipe the cards and go back out for the next round. In drag racing there is time between runs. That gives me some time to post frame grabs and answer emails.

So, how long does it take to download the cards to a hard drive, wipe the card, and have it ready to shoot again?
 
posting the pics, very welcome, thanks for sharing Jim. And, yeah - nice, indeed!
But might be a good opportunity to say thanks to Jarred and the others at the office to support the customers - over the weekend.

If you fill up the 8GB card, it takes about 4 minutes to offload and about 5 seconds to wipe clean and eject.

8GB P2 Card takes longer than that! And we are still talking about 4K, right?

Incredible workflow...

Jim, what's the recommended CF card reader? I saw that both Delkin and Lexar have Firewire800 CF readers and that seems like the best way to me.

The "wipe clean", can that be done in the offloading hardware/software, or does it have to be done in camera. Also, are there any format differences when a card is used in RED and when used otherwise?
 
New to this forum (first post!!!) but wanted to ask, with the night shots, are the exhaust trails CG'ed or manipulated in any way? Thanks!

No CG or Photoshop manipulation other than levels. I use a Lexar Firewire 800 reader, but any brand of FW800 reader seems to work fine. I wipe the files after offload but while still in the card reader on my Mac.
