It might be in the sense of continuing to make S-35 dedicated sensors. I think RED might be considering focusing on bigger sensor formats like VV and support smaller formats by windowing down into the sensor. Alexa 35 is still very popular so I suspect S-35 still has legs. I personally kind...

Hey Stephen, Cool you bought the Summicron C lenses. Komodo X is excellent. As you mentioned the frame rates and higher res are the 2 biggest advantages of the S-35 V Raptor. There are times I wouldn’t mind slower motion for some shots but Komodo X covers over 90% of what I what I need. For...

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1709224-REG/red_digital_cinema_v_raptor_8k_s35_sensor.html Currently the best deal I can think for any camera model. I would buy one if I could. Too bad a couple of longer term projects cancelled.

Not something I ever expected but this seems cool. My RED One MX turned 18 a few weeeks ago (that feels crazy to say) but I still occasionally use it on shoots when an additional camera is needed. Curious to how well this works. Yes, please update. Brian Timmons BRITIM/MEDIA

It’s a setback for RED/Nikon. Interesting that it was upheld for so long in the US including Apple’s challenge of the patent (if this is the same patent). I don’t know much about patent law to give much discussion. From my own recollections before RED almost all companies approached motion...

Just yesterday I was on a doc shoot where circumstances forced us to film with smart phones instead of cinema cameras (my Komodo). Those situations make smart phones like the Oppo a bit intriguing. Brian Timmons BRITIM/MEDIA

I'm finishing up a project so may not update for a few weeks but this does look like an interesting feature. This Color match actually looks usable. If it can consistently get shots at least 80% close to matching then I would be satisfied with it. I still like and primarily work with FCP but...

I have used some of MultiDyne’s broadcast gear on various shoots and they are usually quite reliable. I never used any of MRMC’s products but they always seemed quite solid. Surprising that MRMC was upended like this in such a sudden fashion. I hope this is a nice new beginning for them. I...

Hey Rand, I actually bought the Topaz video plugin based on a post you made some years ago. The software worked quite well for uprezzing RED 2K footage shot for slow motion. I still use the software but stopped upgrading after Topaz went to a subscription only model. I don’t know the...

I'm up for volunteering to help manage the spam. Granted, I'm deep into some projects and shoots but I will make it point to make time for freeing the board of spam. I know of another trustworthy member who expressed interest as well. For many reasons (some you notably pointed out) RU still...

Hey Jeff, I and at least one other member of the board has expressed interest in keeping this board clean of spam. Posts are getting lost in this bot storm and it would be unrealistic for cleanup to be placed on one person's shoulders. Brian Timmons BRITIM/MEDIA

That seems like a prudent approach. REDs are can be overkill for some situations and even I have some clients that just want a basic ProRes with zero grading which might seem like a waste of tech as far as a RED is concerned. I work in teams but I also do a bit of solo shoots even with my...

With the current 3-4x and counting increase in prices for hard drives and SSDs I definitely feel your quest for smaller file sizes. I always start with 5K LQ as my base setting and only go to 6K if I need the wider field of view. I have started using 6K a little more with ELQ and it works...
