Hey everyone! As the title states, I’m ready to start getting serious about color correction… but I have a ton of questions and looking for some Reduser wisdom! I’ve been messing around with grading on RC-X and Resolve for the last year and a half, and now I’m ready to invest in the proper...

Hello everyone, I would like to print and frame some stills pulled from motion (5568x3312 DRAGON footage that's graded in Resolve) as a gift, but this side of the world is totally outside my realm of expertise. So, needless to say, I have some questions. What size of a print can I get out of a...

http://www.provideocoalition.com/secret-art-of-white-balancing?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TaoOfColor Really interesting argument on the advantages of white balancing off a grey card for modern digital cinema cameras.

Has anyone hear of this? http://mindaptiv.com/the-current-state-of-the-compression-codec/ just stumbled across this, but it seems WAAAAY to good to be true. Plus, they said that 100% of their testers chose the upscaled 1080p file over the native 4k file. Which sounds like a load of bullshit...

Hello everyone, The title above is a question that popped into my head tonight as I was driving back from a shoot. If the most popular modern day film stocks are 250 or 500, why did digital cameras kind of plateau at 800? (I may be wrong about this, but it seems like that's the native ISO of...

Hello everyone, I have a Mac Pro trashcan that is connected directly to a monitor by hdmi. I am just getting into the color correction world and I was wondering if there was any benefit to adding this piece or kit to my pipeline? Sorry if this seems like a silly question, still trying to get...

Hey everyone, Quick question. I was watching a commercial that was shot on film, but at one part it looks like there is a CMOS smear-like artifact? Am I correct in seeing that or is that artifact something else? If so, does anyone know what it is? The artifact is at 1:12 but this...

Hello everyone, I have a client who is looking to shoot on my Epic Dragon with a Standard OLPF (which I do not own) for this Monday. I called RED to order a new one and they said they are backordered and wont be able to get me the OLPF in time. I put an order in, but for the mean time, does...

Hello everyone quick question, As the title says, how much weight can the v-dock on the +1 Adapter module handle? I currently have the +1 adapter with a Gold mount plate attached. Then, I have a C-box converter attached to the Gold Mount and then a Dionic HC-X at the end. I've been running...

Hello everyone, Is there a stated weight limit for the V-mount dock on the back of the EPIC body? Or for the V-mount dock on the back of the +1 Adapter Module? I looked through the manual but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm a DP who sometimes cuts small commercial type projects. I've been cutting on Premiere Pro for about a year now, after being a longtime fcp7 user, and it's been adequate but I don't love it. I thought CC15 would change my mind but it really hasn't. So, in my spare time...

Just stumbled across this and it got me thinking. http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/17/9747860/chromebit-chrome-os-computer-hdmi-stick-85-dollars If you had a field monitor with an hdmi port and 2 usb ports, could you use this stick to have an very cheap and primitive offload system for when you...

Hey everyone, I was reading about the VFX work done on Mad Max and I saw that they accomplished their Day for Night sequence by using the opposite technique to what is considered normal. Instead of under exposing 2 stops, they over exposed about 2 stops. Shorter explanation (starts at about...

Hey everyone, Quick question. If you are shooting on a 28-80 zoom, and you throw on a screw on diffusion filter, will there be an appreciable difference between how the diffusion interacts with the image at 28mm vs 80mm? The reason I'm asking is that I'm thinking of buying a Zeiss 28-80 and...

Hello redusers, What is everyone using to set up wifi networks for location shoots? We will have a small crew, maybe 15 people tops, and we don't need too large of a coverage spread. Definetely less than a mile. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey everyone, For those who saw both, I'm curious to hear your thoughts about the 70mm projection vs the 8k playback? Firstly, I thought they both looked absolutely stunning. I thought the colors of the 70mm projection were richer than the colors of the 8k footage, but I thought the 8k footage...

Hey everyone, So I know that this sounds ass backwards, and I do feel like a bit of an idiot asking this, but here it goes... Is it possible to cut a project with raw files and then conform proxy clips to those raw files for coloring? Instead of the normal workflow of cutting proxies and then...

Is it possible to implement the false color tools from the camera to RC-X? I could see Gioscope and Edge focus mode being really useful to access in post.

http://www.dvinfo.net/article/production/camgear/what-alexa-and-watercolors-have-in-common.html The merging of additive and subtractive color characteristics is fascinating and it helps to explain why people say the Alexa has the "film look". Is this something RED can emulate in their color...
