I am going to a shoot this weekend with three different Reds. We will be using an Epic-M with dragon sensor and Canon mount, Epic-X with mysterium X sensor and PL mount, and an upgraded Epic-X with dragon sensor and PL mount. It seems like each one has different screws for the lens mount. We...

Aputure MC magnetic light, is it safe to stick on the camera, back of 5" LCD, top handle? Or will it mess up cam/footage?

I'm curious to see if Aputure or Nanlite have ever been mentioned in any American Cinematographer articles, anybody know?

Anything out there that's cheaper than or similar to a Jo-Leko? Doesn't have to be HMI, just like to easily cut and bounce light without a lot of setup

Hi everyone. I need to upgrade my shotgun mic for documentary production (shooting in a variety of contexts, outdoors and indoors). Can anyone with firsthand experience advise on the Sennheiser MKH 416 vs. MKH 60 vs. MKH 8060, either new or used, in 2020? I'm seeing different opinions out there...

Hi everyone. I'm looking to get a pair of lav kits on a budget -- interested in the Sennheiser G3/G4 and the Sennheiser AVX in particular. Can anyone advise on the differences in between these two systems in terms of range, dropout, interference, and audio quality? I know that the Lectrosonic...

I can't figure out how to apply a different ISO setting to my raw clip at different parts in the timeline when the lighting changes, it seems to apply globally no matter if there are cuts in the clip on the timeline or not. Any advice? I cant use a color correction tool as a workaround because...

Hi, I have a film that we did the final color on using Redcine. The color correction we did is extremely simple adjustments. I exported XML from Premiere and then imported that into Redcine and exported a 1080 pro res. It looks fantastic on Mac laptop and plasma television (using HDMI out from...

I just got Premiere Pro CC and edited a 1080p sequence using pro res clips i made in redcine. is there a workflow thread somewhere already detailing how to re-link everything in my edit to the R3D's? i'm hoping to relink the stuff i cut in pro res to redcode files, still finish in 1080p, but...

I need to create a Quicktime (shot on Dragon) with a 5.1 surround track and also 25 discrete audio tracks for a museum installation. We hope it can all be on a single file to make things easier and stay in sync, but is this even possible with Quicktime or is there a limit of tracks? If there...

I have three Red Station 2.5" for sale. Ships from Washington, DC. Make me an offer, thanks.

Question for you all, is this a typo? I thought there was no such thing as 27mm or 75mm Zeiss Super Speeds. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxDX_Pk-sy0xN3g3cmhLT0R0a2c

For a while been considering purchasing a 10mm zeiss standard speed lens. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for someone who is quite fond of the 10mm standard that I should look at as well. Rectilinear design is preferable
