    Video - why don't movies look like movies anymore?

    Someone needs to tell producers that orange & teal don't sell tickets. Nobody ever didn't buy a ticket because a film had nice, natural colours.

    KOMODO Now $2,995 (new from RED)

    I saw your IG post this morning, Phil. "6K for $3K". WINK WINK. I wonder if Red will ever make an integrated camera?

    NAB 2025 - Rumors & Wishlists

    I agree. A few years ago I got the idea that cinema will take it up a notch - full sized IMAX. The films will be cheaper to make, because the format is the effect. The format is the attraction. People have been able to do their own lightsaber effects since the days of the G3 iMac, for goodness...

    The state of shooting 3D on RED in 2025

    Oh, okay, so that's what a beam splitter is. Now I understand. I presume that the cameras are slightly offset? Also, what are the limitations in terms of wide angle lenses? And, which do you prefer: side-by-side cameras, or a beam splitter?

    The state of shooting 3D on RED in 2025

    Lennert, it's interseting that you are posting about stereo photography. Just recently, I bought a Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D camera. It has a 3x zoom and a stereo display (but no EVF). It's much more useful than the Hydrogen, although the screen is half the size. I really do like...

    Filmed on RED Scarlet W with Atlas Anamorphic Lenses :)

    I watched with the sound off. I thought it was pretty good! YouTube compression did ruin the texture of the image, though.

    FS: Photo-Sonics 4C/R 35mm slow motion camera

    David, when you post items in this forum, you have to list a price. It's the official policy.

    Video - why don't movies look like movies anymore?

    Maybe colorists have more power in the commercial realm? I have heard a couple of DPs talk about that issue. Maybe I don't have enough data.

    Panasonic LUMIX S1RII Announced – 44MP, 8K30, 5.9K60, 4K120, Internal ProRes RAW and More

    These hybrid cameras are getting much better at video. I would not blame you for choosing this over a proper cinema camera. Just a point to think about: the Sony A7 from 2014 has 14 stops of DR. So we really haven't found a way to go beyond that (some cameras do but they are cinema cameras).

    Video - why don't movies look like movies anymore?

    I agree. That's all on the colorist (and the directors and DPs who cannot override them).

    Thanks

    Perhaps there might be an issue with blackshading? I think you have to perform a blackshade when the camera is hot.

    Media Division’s Create Cinematic Films – A Recipe to the Magic Sauce that makes a Movie out of your Videos

    Of course it can. If you are a DP, or understand cinematography, that's all you need. If you are a lay person, you have to explain what cinematography is, after you explain that 'cinematic' equals 'deliberation'.

    Media Division’s Create Cinematic Films – A Recipe to the Magic Sauce that makes a Movie out of your Videos

    As I said: if it's cinematic, it's deliberate. You can sum it up in one word. But, some choose to waffle and equivocate.

    Media Division’s Create Cinematic Films – A Recipe to the Magic Sauce that makes a Movie out of your Videos

    All cinematic imagery is deliberate, even if not all deliberate imagery is cinematic.

    Media Division’s Create Cinematic Films – A Recipe to the Magic Sauce that makes a Movie out of your Videos

    I haven't watched the video yet. But, I can tell you what 'cinematic' means: deliberation. If it's deliberate, it's cinematic. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    slow motion and led wall flickering at a concert

    All I can think of is to finely tune the frame rate to sync with the light source. Or rent a V-Raptor X.
