Hello RED TEAM and REDUSER's, Pretty much everyone on this forum agrees that REDRAW is a better capture format then PRORES. So why don't we, once and for all, objectively prove it? The REDRAW VS PRORES debate has never had a chance at a real apples to apples argument. Since no previous RED...

Hey! I bought a used Mb-29 that came with a 19mm studio bracket that I would like to trade to someone for a 15mm studio bracket. The bracket itself is labeled to work with the mb-19 and mb-20, is in perfect working condition and has a few minor scrapes. (Pictures can be provided on request)...

Hello everyone, quick question. I really like the specs behind the new Varicam 35 but I haven't really gotten the opportunity to test it yet. However, just from the specs alone it seems like it would be a fantastic camera for night exteriors. Right? So my question is, if I am shooting a...

Hey everyone, I finished the rough cut on my first DP reel and I would love some advice/criticism that can help me push this reel in the right direction. I did a basic one-light on the footage because its is 95% RED footage but besides that I've done no secondary corrections. Is that the norm...

If there is no behind the scenes material for a particular scene or movie you want to study, what's the next, best source of information for learning about how filmmakers attacked certain challenges in that particular scene or movie? Thanks for any help you can give!

I just got a new editing workstation so I downloaded Redcine-x a few days ago and today I went to check out the operation guide and when it opened it said it was for build 13 and the copyright was for July 2012? Is that a download glitch of some sort? Does anyone know where I can get the most...

Hello everyone! I ordered 4 Dionic HC-X batteries and a quad charger for my Dragon package but they will not be shipped out to LA for about a month. While I can run my camera off AC power, clearly that is not ideal. The three obvious solutions are to buy used batteries, buy a different brand of...

I put in a purchase for a new 1030 package and was just told it would take another month until it got shipped. I would like to have it before that time so I am willing to cancel that order and purchase a Perfect-Good condition replacement. If you are looking to sell please let me know!

Finally got some time to sit down and play around with my new DRAGON. So I fired up the camera, let it get warm, and then performed my first black shade and it took less then 5 minutes (4:43 for anyone who wants to know exactly). Got to say, as a 1st Ac who has been working with the MX for a...

I want to say thank you to Nick Pau, my bomb squad rep, who has been a humongous help in this incredibly long process! Today, I picked up my DRAGON brain :hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray: for my production company and I cant wait to see what amazing things we can do with this...

I've been looking into the idea of a single mobile workstation that can be used to deal with RED footage from ingest to edit to color to "projection" (by projection I mean being able to output a 4k master or 1080 downsample to any screen I come across). As of now I'm going to purchase a fully...

What is the widest lens that fully covers 6k Dragon? In the cinema lens world I think its either the Zeiss 15mm CP.2 or the Zeiss 15-30 CZ.2, right? Is there a photo lens that can cover 6k at an even wider focal length? I'm curious to see how wide it is physically possible to get on 6k FF as...

With the advent of RAW capture systems, I'm curious to know, in your opinion, what is the difference between a DP and someone who hands off functional RAW files to Editorial? I'm hoping this will jumpstart a discussion about how this position will evolve or adapt in response to this new(ish)...

I know that the dragon has an extended front fan and it has caused some minor issues with certain 15mm lws systems. Does anyone know if the DSMC modular assault plate pack still works with Dragon? If not what is the Dragon version of that product? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have a question about dynamic range in relation to HDR mode. Do you need to exactly match DR for a whole scene (much in the same way you would match lighting on set or coloring in post) in order to maintain continuity? Can the human eye notice the difference between different...

Am I correct in thinking that the REDTools app doesn't take into account the scratch audio track when calculating data rates? If so, is there an easy way to calculate the additional data used by adding a scratch track? Or is the audio file so small in comparison to the video file that it is...

Hello Redusers, My company is about to buy our first major camera package and we are looking to save some money by picking up some of the accessories used, but still in excellent condition. I will post our itemized purchase list below and if you have one of the items and would like to make an...

Hey everyone! I had an interesting experience yesterday that I would like to share with and ask for your opinions. I dp'ed two small shoots back to back that were similiar styles but shot totally differently, the first was during the day in a studio with a very controlled lighting set-up and...
