Here is a link to a Video testing out the the Horseman TS-Pro with Hassleblad glass and also Nikon Shift and Tilt lenses. http://vimeo.com/35189673 This stuff is a lot of work but glad to say there are now low cost Shift and Tilt systems available. Not to mention the features of View cameras...

A friend is producing a new Network television magazine series for SBSTV. They are keen to push the envelope on production standards and innovative photography. One of the approaches they wish to take is to shoot the programme with either Epic or Scarlet cameras. Looking for experienced...

I am running a Macpro with a rocket and a blackmagic deck link studio card. Should I be able to see the RedcineX output on my external monitor? I can with FCP6 and Resolve. All slots are used so I do not have the Rockets SDI extension card installed. Many thanks

Was using the Optitek Nikon pro lock mount on an Epic today and had no issues with the 45mm Shift and Tilt but had trouble mounting the 24mm Shift and Tilt. Is there an issue here in regards to the Nikon 24mm Shift and Tilt and the Optitek Nikon pro lock? Has anyone else mounted this lens on the...

Having a ball busting time trying to get footage into MC 5.5. What transcode settings should I select for a high quality 16x9 image that the editor can ingest? I tried the DNXHD 185 setting in Redcine X 454 and it produced a folder for each clip with a .xml and .mxf files inside but the editor...

I was planning on using Resolve for Grading Rushes for lower budget clients that are not interested in the whole post Red process but while the picture grading is fast and powerful I cannot work out how to pass through the audio on the R3D files to the transcoded outputs. Is this possible?

Has anyone have any experience with the Horseman TS-PRO Shift and Tilt camera system? http://www.komamura.co.jp/e/index.html Looks interesting but unsure the design would allow for the lens to move back enough for infinity focus? They show it attached to a Red camera and if you used the Zeiss...

I have a project shot 3D with two Red Cameras and being posted in FCP. A rough off line has been completed using one channel but we now want to construct the second channel. Rather than manually finding the second camera footage and manually syncing is there a way of using the EDL from the first...

At the Apple online store a new iPhone App called IOD calc has been released. I have been using a beta version of this App for a while on 3D shoots and it is a wonderfully easy tool for your 3D parameters on set. If your shooting 3D as a cinematographer you can't go past this and if you have...

I hope the Red is seriously considering USB 3.0 on their new SSD Drives. The avalanche of data this camera is capable of makes Firewire 800 look like a very small pipe indeed. USB 3.0 is already turning up in peripherals and in computers in the next few months. Its already a slow process...

I recently did a shoot and it was pouring rain and the camera and large Red LCD monitor were bagged but the LCD screen got wet and now has a whitish smudge across the screen. Tried to wipeit clean with limited success and I am unwilling to scrub aggressively. What is the correct procedure for...

What is the difference between the Pro I/O Module vs Base I/O Module for the Epic? I cant find any technical details on these modules or any of the others. Does this info. presently exist and if so where the hell is it? Thankyou

Used a set of RPP the other day for the first time on a TVC and was very happy with performance overall except for the 25mm lens which had a pronounced geometric distortion. I had a shot where the focus was set at about a meter and in the BG was a bench top about 3 meters away. I was suprised to...

When you genlock two Red Cameras together to maintain Sync are all speeds covered? The manual states 23.98, 24.00, 25.00 or 29.97 are supported. It also says that "When operating at 50.00 or 59.94 Project Time Bases, set the genlock signal generator to SMPTE 296 progressive scan format, at the...

Just come off a film that was recorded double system but we also attempted to record audio to the camera to simplify dailies delivery. We had very mixed results and due to the hectic pace of production I had to leave the sound issues with the sound department. We had low levels, distorted...

I have an aerial job coming up and the Red camera is being suggested. We have done camera tests and we are very happy with pictures. The Aerial job is in a remote location so impossible to test before we get there so I was wondering if anyone had used the camera inflight and if RF from the radio...
