    How to calculate wide end of zoom focus (Angenieux 16-42mm)

    It appears that on my Angenieux 16-42mm the focus at the 16mm end at about 6 feet and further is infinity. Anything from the mid 20's to 42mm focus is according to the focus scale. I assume this is a normal phenomenon because of the physics of a wide lens. Are there charts to help find out at...

    How to shoot dark scenes with a low ISO

    My Angenieux 16-42mm 2.8 is my main narrative lens. I sometimes find images a little muddy and noisy when shooting dark scenes wide open. I like the explanation that lowering the ISO adds more gradation at the dark end and reduces noise. This makes sense, but the image is too dark. Is this...

    Is there a problem with black, white, or red cars?

    When the recruiters near me want extras with a car for TV shows or movies, they always state no black, white, or red cars? Is because it would draw attention away from the main characters/cars or is there a reason why these colors are disqualified? Specifically, I wanted to use a white SUV in...

    New Build - Full 6K Playback

    Updated my PC, I thought some might find the specs interesting if purchasing a new system. I get full 6K (RED Dragon) playback in Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve. I chose AMD because it was faster than Intel with .r3d, but Intel is faster with other footage. The difference between Intel and AMD...

    Cinematography of Cold War

    Cold War is nominated for Best Cinematography. It is a Polish film directed by Pawel Pawlikowski and DP'd by Lukasz Zal (same team from Polish film Ida). I went to the Cinema to see it. I've been streaming for years, so forgot how enjoyable the cinema can be. I'm puzzled by the cinematography...

    Corrupted Black Shade - Example

    I came across this issue recently and thought I would share. I went to shoot some buffalo and had my RED Dragon in cold 25° F for about 45 minutes. The following week, I did some indoor 72° F studio shooting. I noticed I had a slight green stripe down the right side of the footage. It was also...

    Shooting RED at night

    RED released an HDR Reel on YouTube a week ago with some gorgeous footage, however I am puzzled by a night shot (9 seconds in). I can't get anything at night, especially trying to shoot 23.98 at 1/48. Even if I push the ISO to 3200, I get nothing. The cars are not blurry so I don't think the...

    A RED Dragon in Africa; Inspired by RED Collective

    As a kid, I was obsessed with Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, especially the shows about big cats in Africa. The RED Collective piece on Russ MacLaughlin and his wife Shannon Wild (The Wilds) hit the same nerve in me. I must have watched it 20 times. I reviewed their instagram accounts for gear...
