I remember seeing someone post an example of Standard Speed footage shot on Epic or Scarlet (I can't remember which) but, for the life of me, I can't seem to find it on here. Does anyone have any examples uses these lenses? I remember loving the look of them. Thanks!

I'm just a Scarlet owner but I'm so amazed by the look of "House of Cards", shot with an Epic and Master Primes. I'm wondering, though, how does Fincher('s DP) get that amazing look? I've seen people with the same camera and lenses have it come out very 'videoish'. The show looks cinematic...

Kind of a random question but I'm debating between short-term production insurance or annual coverage... does anyone have any good leads on annual coverage? It seems the some short term insurance quotes are almost as much as annual ones so if you have more than two shoots a year (like I hope...

I've never used an anamorphic on my Scarlet yet, so I'm curious if anyone else has had experience with them, especially Lomos (or Hawks). I know there's no ANA setting but is all of the image info there on the sensor, just stretched or something? Does the regular 4K instead of 4K HD help a...

This is the first time I really shot with my Scarlet for this Myspace piece they do on artists; http://www.myspace.com/video/myspace-music/onetwowatch-zedd/109085284 Definitely jumped into the fire, first time out with my Scarlet a week after I got it, kinda winged it. For the interview, the...

Right now, my favorite all-around rental light is the KinoFlo Divas... however, I'd like to buy a couple lights for myself so I don't have to keep renting and I hate the idea of buying so many bulbs and then swapping them out per color temp. Has anyone used LED lights in general? I've demoed a...

Obviously there is conflicting information about whether or not we'll get the Dragon sensor. I'm going to be furious if we don't because why in the world would I have bought this instead of a used R1MX for pennies on the dollar... it's the SAME MX picture, however, in that I get more...

I don't know how to explain this other than "auto-irising"... it's brutal. A couple times when I'm shooting, the Scarlet all of sudden starts making sounds then goes dark, light, and so on until it find a new ISO or something... or new brightness (I can't confirm if the ISO changes). If...

Ughhh... I've been dreading asking this out loud, super embarrassing, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the topics, just people telling what names they have for their Scarlet. I'm assuming it's beyond easy since nobody else has asked this... but where to you change the "name" of your Scarlet...

MAJOR problem... I shot an interview and concert with an artist for a major label, my first gig with my Scarlet, my first gig for this label... and one of the clips has a big "bar" on the side of the screen!! It's useless for that whole clip. How does this happen!? I've done some tests at...

I did a comparison thread, asking what people liked more, the Nikon 85mm AI-S vs. the D. With the Nikon mount now available, I thought I'd compare some lenses that one could use. This is my first time using my Scarlet or 'any' RED (myself), I usually just direct so hopefully these look okay...

I'm hoping a Moderator sees this; It's the oddest thing tonight (only), my Norton is going crazy and it won't let a certain banner ad play because it's attempting to hack my computer. Norton is saying; "An intrusion attemp by www.landmineads.com was blocked" then it goes on to list the URL...

With so many possibilities for a metadata look for clients, I was curious about how "cinematic" of a look they've achieved (outside of great glass) via the menu settings. I was mainly wondering about the settings under; Menu/Look/Curves/Luma or RGB; Black# Toe# Center# Knee# White#

I mean this in no way as disrespect to RED, I'm asking honestly why the price of a RED 1.8 SSD cards, say, for a 256gb is $2,450 while any other 256 1.8 SSDs go for $250-$600. If RED's card is specifically engineered with a certain size, different than the other SSDs out there, then I'm...

In my search for Panavision or PL (alternate) mount ideas for the Epic or Scarlet, I came across this great video demonstrating the Panavision glass on the One; https://vimeo.com/29588147 I don't think the biggest "film only" snob could tell you that this is "HD" footage.

I've only seen the SSD card used with Scarlet, I was just curious if the older Red Drives also work...? If so, can they keep up with the new footage without corruption? I'm just debating on buying more SSD cards or rigging up a drive. Obviously the drives are a lot cheaper but I don't know...

I was curious if anyone's done any tests with the Nikon 85mm 1.4, the original AIS. I have the 28mm and I love it, such a rich tone to it without being too... dunno, 'fake' or modern. For that reason, I was curious how the D version compared, if it has any character to it, like the AIS line...

I'm putting together my Scarlet rig and I need to get a matte box. I know there are various topics about matte boxes but it seems, from what I've gathered, that these three are everyone's favorites and I haven't seen a current discussion. I'm totally open. I've used some knock-off Indian...

I'm new here so I apologize that this topic has been touched upon but I'd love more insight than the threads I found. I'm no DP by any means, an editor by trade (17 years) and I've been directing music videos for about 14 years now... my DP is a rockstar, super talented. We've shot on the RED...
