RedUser is one of the only sites I regularly visit where Safari (or the website?) won't allow me to use auto-fill for my user name and password. Anyone else have this problem? Even though Auto-Fill is checked in my Safari preferences, when I delete my cookies and try to log-in again, I'm never...

Good review here mentions the cinematography: http://www.joylesscreatures.com/review-archive/flamenco-flamenco I saw the trailer, which looks gorgeous -- the movie just opened in L.A. I'm surprised that the fact that Vittorio Storaro shot a movie on a Red camera hasn't got much attention here...

I believe this was the first post on the topic: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?111338-What-do-you-think-about-this-Should-RED-go-into-another-direction We don't need four or five more threads running on the same topic so please post to the original one.

Perhaps Mike Most, Michael Cioni, Mark Pederson, etc. can weigh in on this... but assuming enough Epics hit the rental houses soon for television production to get a shot at using them, what do you think the workflow options will be for material shot with HDRx turned on? For "Big Sur" we...

Pre-production I arrived in San Francisco on Wednesday night after driving all day up the 101 in intermittent rainstorms (I have to say that the rolling green hills south of King City remind me of the Battle of Naboo in “Phantom Menace”… but I digress.) I’m shooting a very small indie...

I have an old MacBook Pro -- what are the system requirements to run the latest version of RedCine-X?

Saw "Fair Game" today, digitally projected, along with the "Rabbit Hole" trailer. I didn't know either was shot on the Red One until I got home and checked, but when the "Rabbit Hole" trailer came up, I thought "Wow, this is very clean-looking, and sharp -- but the colors seem to emphasize the...

I'm trying to keep an open mind on the topic... but I saw ARRI's test comparing 24 fps shooting and projection (of 2-perf 35mm material, digitally projected at CineGear) to 48 fps shooting and projection. The look of 48 fps wasn't particularly appealing to me. Sure, there was a reduction in...

Since the new M-X sensor has new debayering software for it, what happens when you send footage shot on multiple cameras, some with the new M-X sensor and some with the old sensor, to the same post house using RedRocket for debayering, transcoding, downsampling to 1080P, etc.? If they've...

I'm going to be in Chicago starting Feb.18 to begin prep on a TV pilot using Red MX cameras (hopefully). I'd like to know what sort of Red support exists in town, particularly on the post side. I also might be shooting a couple of shots on a Canon DSLR, so any post houses that can support that...

So with pilot season in March approaching, what rental houses are going to have Red Ones with the new MX sensor in them? Who are first in line for conversions? I'm particularly interested in the Los Angeles camera rental houses.

I'm working on an article that covers cameras roughly $10,000 and lower. The 2/3" Scarlet with the fixed lens falls into that category, but what about the next level up, the 2/3" Scarlet with a separate lens? With a small zoom and whatever basic modules and LCD or viewfinder needed minimum...

I was wondering, since the new MX sensor is 30x15mm if the same limitations in recording the width of the sensor on the Red One (4.5K max rather than the full 5K width, i.e. 24mm instead of 30mm) also applied to the height (13.7mm rather than the full 15mm). I assume so (that you can't), but...

I just saw this Finnish drama at the Scandinavian Film Festival here in Los Angeles -- really nice widescreen photography. At first I thought it was anamorphic, then I thought it was really clean Super-35 photography, but the end credit mentions someone doing "RED Support". Anyone from Finland...
