    Video - why don't movies look like movies anymore?

    I’d like to learn more about how to light and shoot for HDR. My experience is limited—I’ve never shot TV or bigger budget narrative—, but it just hasn’t come up in prep or on set. Don’t think I’ve ever monitored in HDR.

    Video - why don't movies look like movies anymore?

    Just for reference, I’ve never seen the colorist override a director or DP. They very much tend to be service oriented, and it’s not like they have the final say on anything. I have seen a producer push back on bolder choices, and certainly have seen bad notes from a client/agency.

    Rec Botton

    It appears that Tilta makes a cable for this. You can also use one of several products that add a r/s port to your Komodo (I have products from Mutiny I/O).

    Thanks

    Thank you. Without seeing a video clip, or at least a still image, it's very difficult to make any diagnosis. (There's nothing strange about the information you did post.) If you can recreate images that seem to have the same problem, then share them here and we can help. But if you shoot again...

    How's the 8k s35 noise performance at iso12800? (also the raptor x)

    You can download the raw r3d file yourself (there’s a link below the test image) and toggle any noise reduction on/off.

    Thanks

    I think that you’ll get the best help identifying the issue if you are able to share examples—preferably good quality video, or at least good quality stills. And please share your settings when you share the images. (Camera, recording mode, shutter speed, ISO, etc.) Blurry often refers to a...

    AV1 codec - the best low data level codec ?

    Following this conversation... I'd love to be able to upload a better quality finished product for clients who limited bandwidth.

    Should I bought the Red Gemini 5k, Dragon X or Komodo?

    The gimbal use suggests that the Komodo might be a good fit. (Though certainly you can put a DSMC2 on a gimbal, you usually need a larger one.) I also like using the Komodo on a slider, because it can be stripped down and used on a smaller lightweight slider (I have a Rhino slider with carbon...

    Should I bought the Red Gemini 5k, Dragon X or Komodo?

    All of these cameras are good an capable options for shooting music videos, commercials, and even features. A couple things to consider: -if you’re looking to have the camera last 7-10 years, consider that the older the camera, the less likely it is to be repairable for that time period. -in...

    Should I Deliver in 5K WS or Downgrade to 4K? (Shot on RED Gemini)

    I'm not sure I understand the question. I always deliver in whatever aspect ratio and resolution my client requests-- so I don't give them 6k r3d files if they ask for 4k prores. Is your question whether it's better to downscale/transcode BEFORE edit and grade? I don't usually do much post, but...

    Monitoring looks blown out

    Haven't had a problem of this nature myself. Might be helpful if you check and also share your monitor settings-- for example, are you applying a LUT to your image? What ISO are you rating your camera at? (The attached jpg is too small to read those settings.) You probably already discussed...

    Cooke discontinues their legendary S4/i Series

    I don’t know about superiority in look, but the S8s are certainly more compact and nicer to use.

    Cooke discontinues their legendary S4/i Series

    That was an adaptation of the 20-100? Love the look of that lens on digital. (And I sometimes still rent the 20-60, which is sharper and a bit more modern looking, would probably intercut a bit better with the s4s, I suppose…)

    Fujifilm now puts a strong pressure on RED/Nikon!

    Agree with you that a medium format Red camera would probably come along with a new line of lenses for that format from Nikon. I actually imagine Nikon would release a medium format stills camera version first, if they were ever to go there. I do question whether medium format digital is any...
