Forgot the lens.

 

[indivfx]

Yep!! No Lens. But i heard they actually shot with RED all of his rehearsals wish they should have shot in a green screen with camera locked. They can do a new music video with his dance as a lost album.

 

[JasonAvalos]

that is awesome and sad! no lens i think he was watching playback, right? king of pop knew whats up.

 

[Obin Olson]

he knew.....

 

[Martin Weiss]

Is this about the 5th thread about this subject?

Anyway - that camera will be worth a lot to fans

I am sure you are right, the lens was being exchanged for another, meanwhile Jackson and his coreographer was looking at playbacks.

Hope the brightness on the monitor was turned up full. Those look like v dark shades.

Damn, Damn, Damn!!!! wish I could talk about this....:mad2:

Well I think I can.....
I know my uncle was a huge fan of the Red. I'm not sure if the one in the photo is his or not. He did tell me he was getting one though. That was actually one of the last things we discussed on the phone.
He was surprisingly up to date on the latest film gear.
He was also looking forward to getting a couple of FF35 Scarlets. :-(
By the way... On a side note...
Thanks for keeping this MJ thread respectful. It's been a horrible last couple of months.

when we have MJ's nephew posting here about MJ lookout and the boss giving his agreement as he could just do.. what does anyone have more to say?

if this is not another scam ehehe :Angel_anim: both deserve the focus

edit
interesting that scarlet note.. MJ preference rather epic btw

 

[Wesley Scoggins]

Taj, thanks for the info from the source.

 

[Wesley Scoggins]

interesting that scarlet note.. MJ preference rather epic btw

I guess he'd want something that was easier to carry around with him on all the traveling he did. Epic gear would be a bit heavier and probably harder to lug around everywhere, while the Scarlet approaches DSLR sizes.

Just my assumption.

 

[Roberto B]

scarlet is the way as 5d2 has been.. that's what the market asks

jannard.. deliver the same sensor size philosophy at that price point and you'll have the best sales since the daguerreotype

no crisis will hold the hit

«The "icing on the cake" was when I found out a week ago that the film was shot not on film, but on aRED camera. I am a technical nerd when it comes to films and movies. I have been watching the RED camera develop for a long time now. If you don't know what the RED camera is, it is a digital movie camera that looks a lot like film. I definitely think it is the future of cinema.»
