We are putting together some RED ONE Mysterium-X cameras for upgrade testing and a couple of high profile directors have run them through their paces. The 1st AC had a big smile on his face after seeing the results and gave this quote.

"To me, the new sensor is the biggest leap I've seen RED achieve. We rated the sensor at ISO 500 and did not see any noise in the blacks in low level lighting situations. The image is super clean." Steve Meizler

1st Assistant Camera on Saving Private Ryan, Artificial Intelligence: AI, Ocean's Twelve, War of the Worlds, Ché, The Informant, Social Network, among several others. Steve has been 1st AC on four feature films (and a few commercials) shot on RED...

I expect that we will have more quotes as the cameras get into the hands of a few more pros.

Jim,
Ship one down South and I'll give you two quotes.

 

[Frank Weeks]

Hey Jim. If you need any low profile directors to try one out... I'm your man.

 

[Martin Stevens]

Great news indeed! Clean at ISO 500....I wish 35mm Negative could do that.

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

Tease. Bloody tease.

 

[Ryan Valle]

You think you can swap my canon 40D sensor with a mysterium x?

 

[Joshua Brown]

Jim, given his enthusiastic rating... how would your design team rate the sensor's iso?

-J.A.Brown

P.S. Glad to hear it's out in the wild.

 

[Martin Stevens]

I dream of how noise free the Monstro Sensor will be at ISO 800.

 

[Felix K.]

Congratulations to that achievement!
I hope this approval of a professional AC is a satisfying reward for all your hard work. Many to come How do you celebrate?

 

[Joseph Q. Simpkins]

AWESOME!! Keep'em coming, ready and waiting

Seeing is believing Jim!! Come on, one still won't hurt...:emote_22_yikes:

Sounds promising Jim, but i'f we are considering that subjective evaluations are worth quoting, I'd be looking for one from a craft professional with a deep background in video.

Well, I can't say I'm surprised, but it's incredible nonetheless.

I like how Jim's photo seems to change, depending on the context of his post.

Can it be more objective than shooting with the darn new sensor?

LOL

Michael, Jim said: " I expect that we will have more quotes as the cameras get into the hands of a few more pros."

I can't see the downside to having such an experienced set of eyes give such a glowing first impression.

What were you guys thinking?!

Oh Red..what were you thinking when you put the new sensor in the hands of guys like that. Let's see some CBS news camera opinions, or how about some "E" Entertainment EPK guys. They sure know where run and gun and quality intersect.
When I'm over lighting someone set against the background of the Whitehouse, I want to know whether the latitude is there to see the guy panhandling to the right of the frame. LOL.

But seriously, great news RED TEAM!

 

[Jaime Vallés]

Sounds fantastic, Jim! Can't wait to see actual footage and screen grabs posted!

 

[David Walls II]

I can't wait until we get a chance to see a frame or two.

 

[Tom Lowe]

Give one to Mullen. He's got some free time coming up, and he's always objective.
