Hey folks, Does anyone have any benchmarks for transcoding Helium 8K to DNxHD36 on an iMac Pro in DaVinci Resolve? Looking for benchmarks on the 10, 14 or 18 core. Thanks very much!

Hi folks, Question for you - have any of you ever experienced an issue on the Epic with repeating timecode? We had an instance where we were shooting 120fps and the operator had to cut in the middle of the shot - they did - and then they resumed shooting, splitting the take into two different...

Hi folks, Just wanted to get your opinion on something. You get a couple of different schools of thought regarding black shading. RED's recommendations are that you only need to shade after significant temperature variations or very long exposures. Some AC's have a tendency to want to black...

Hey guys, Just wanted to know: is there a definitive way to sync multiple Epics up to some strobes to avoid the banding that happens when the strobes flash faster than the sensor can keep up with? If so, are you using any special accessories on camera? What kind of strobes / speeds are you...

Hey guys, Wondering if this is a common issue (I've seen it more than once with different hardware). Was on a shoot using 2 Epics with Denecke SB-3's. No problem syncing up the cams and boxes at 23.976, but occasionally we were getting a 1 frame offset between the TC slate and the in-cam TC...

We recently acquired some Kowa anamorphics over at CineGround and put 'em to use on a music video for PLASTER. It's starring LAZYLEGS aka Luca Patuelli. Luca was born with Arthrogryposis (multiplex congenita), a rare disorder that is explained by limited joint movement and poor muscle growth...

Hey folks! Here's a little commercial we produced for Montreal photographer Jocelyn Michel's new book 'Admissions'. We kept it simple. Gorgeous ladies, fast cars, all in slow motion. Shot on the Epic. Hope you like it!

Hey folks! Just wanted to show you a little Epic fashion / promo for an upcoming presentation of Faust by the Montreal Opera and DJ Dee. Super low budget shoot, simple setup, and we really pushed the Epic into low key areas. DP Gab BT built a really cool black/gold/grey colour scheme, and the...

Hey folks! I just wrapped up working on Dragons 3D: Real Myths and Unreal Creatures. It's currently in post-production and will be a 40 minute docu-fiction piece playing in IMAX theatres (and a few regular cinemas as well). It's going to have both a 70mm release AND a 2K / 4K release where...

A film that I worked on as part of the camera dept, Snow & Ashes, won best cinematography at this year's Genie Awards (Canada's annual national cinema awards gala). Kudos to DOP Jean Francois Lord for his fantastic work on the picture. Half of the film was shot on super-16mm (with particular...

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone here had any solutions for creating digital camera reports with their Epic. I used to use Clipfinder, which was great, because I could drop in camera metadata easily, have a few still frames, and then add custom fields for any other data I needed to input...

Scarlet #150 has arrived after some delay, and we're pretty excited! Our previous Scarlet was #666 and got the rather nefarious name 'Lucifer', so in keeping with the 'evil' theme, we've dubbed this lil' guy 'ED-209'. YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO COMPLY! OCP has entered the RED accessory game, and...

Hey guys, RedGround and Achromatic (Gab BT & Evren Boisjoli) are proud to introduce Scarlet-X #666 "Lucifer", which arrived friday the 13th in Montreal. We believe it's the first unit to arrive in the city of Montreal! It'll be available over at www.redground.ca Here's some of the equip...

Hi folks, Doing a little testing with our new Epic, and noticed that Clipfinder (not surprisingly) doesn't work properly with Epic footage. We're already using R3D Data Manager for backup and checksums, but I'm wondering about a new piece of software that can do what Clipfinder did. Something...

Here's the full version of Misteur Valaire's music video for the song 'Dan Dan'. Shot on a RED One MX with LOMO anamorphics. All flares are real, done off-camera with a wide variety of different lights. Hope you enjoy!

Director Benjamin Lussier's got a tasty little jam coming out soon. MX + LOMO's + some after effects wizardry. Shooting on RED was an absolute treat. First time using LightIron's live play on set as well. Good vibes all around. The teaser is up here, hope you enjoy! http://vimeo.com/31457569

Supports up to 4K - no mention of native R3D support though. Anyone snag this yet and try it out? http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/

Hi folks, Strange problem cropping up. Back in 2008 there was an issue where sometimes a dynecke would cause the red to not boot properly - the rear LCD would blink on and off at 2 second intervals (approx). Removing the timecode cable solved the problem Cut to 2011, with Build 30.7.0 on our...

Any fellow RED owners down in Cuba?

Hey folks, Recently noticed a decidedly different pitch in our MX's fans. A much deeper, loud hum with the fans - something that had never been there until yesterday. No performance or heat issue so far, but thinking it might need a check up right quick. Anyone else ever experience this? Is...
