  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

    Nikon to Acquire US Cinema Camera Manufacturer RED.com, LLC

    I think to win the game Nikon should do the following. Create a cine lens series with both internal motors and external gears. Then create a onboard cinemonitor with built in stereo and lidar dept vision and aAI board calculating focus. And then make it possible to use that together with the...

    Nikon to Acquire US Cinema Camera Manufacturer RED.com, LLC

    There is only a few more years on the patent. I think it runs out 2028. Sony Venice raw, DJI raw and r3d... The difference in work flow, convenience, picture quality etc is what? I don't see any major differences.

    RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV

    A common problems with back projection tech is lack of exposure. The screens are not bright enough as it is. If you start doing short shutter you limit your self even more. When running dual feeds you also cut your bit rate in half. Low bitrate and chroma work is a thing to avoid. Sure you can...

    The Crop Factor Myth Explained

    That film does not explain much but instead brings more dumb misconceptions to the discussion. 1. Long lenses does not compress the scenery of a shot. Distance to target does. A large format camera with the same framing as a small sensor with a wider lens giving both the same field of view...

    RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV

    I think its opposite if I remember correctly. Your A track is your long exposure. To make use of HDRx you need to to have overexposure in the A track then you got the x track with a fraction of the A track exposure to recover highlights / extend the range.

    RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV

    Anyone tested dsmc2 screens with the EVF adaptor? Likely it does not work but would be cool if it did.

    RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV

    360 shutter is kind of like a bulb setting. Just take your captured images and in post compound them with ADD/SUM in linear color space. Monstro has the frame sum, frame average up to 16 frames in camera. But its, I'm told quite taxing on the hardware to run. I toasted my monstro that way and...

    RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV

    Cool. Would be interesting to see how it behaves in long exposure. Time-lapse / camera set to lowest possible frame rate then clap your hands infront of the soft box. Another question does it have the frame sum and average recording functions like the DSMC2? Thinking if it can do HDRx it...

    RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV

    "Better than HDRx ever was" do you mean this is something different then HDRx? Only way to to treat HDRx different than the old HDRx that I could think of would be the following: Shoot regular HDRx tracks. where the bright track has your shutter of choice. Then use the darker shorter exposed...

    RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV

    Is there a link to the the shot? Is it even motion in it? Edit downloaded the city skyline it a fixed camera shot and it only opens in red cine so difficult to tell what's going on. I guess they could do a highlight reconstruction per color chanel by looking at the 2 remaining colors like they...

    Raptor X

    What Im saying its very different the dual AD way you combine one bright and one dark image with each other. Thats easily done there is perfect composting math for doing so. When comping HDRx tracks together you try to blend between two different captures / two different looking images, its hack...

    Komodo 6k Ghosting Stutter (like multiple still frames) Instead of Smooth Motion Blur

    You need to talk to the guys the lit the stage. See if they can do it without their dimmers, different light or such. You could also fiddle with shutter time... but might be tricky and can give different result per recording. For example if you lower you shutter time to a third what you got now...

    Komodo 6k Ghosting Stutter (like multiple still frames) Instead of Smooth Motion Blur

    What are you light sources. You get that if you have odd flickering light. I seen it when shooting and having LED screens as part of the light setup. The leds screens where 60Hz and we where shooting 25p... that gave us something similar to this but with two instances.

    Raptor X

    If its HDRX then Its not the same as what Arri does. Arri do two different digital gains to the signal that hits their sensor and then comp them together in camera taking the lowlights from one and highlights from the other and by doing so they get a wider DR than if they just read single gain...

    Wounder what framerates the additional highlight DR is limited to, anyone knows?

    Raptor X

    As I understand its done in a similar way as Hdrx, seams logic as the camera als ocan do doal captures.... Something that the original raptor also should be very much capapble of from looking at its bit and frame rates. So yes, seams very much like a software price differentiation thing not to...

    Guess what shot is what camera...

    Just spliced these clips together, same iso, colortemp setting etc and similar f stop then processed with the same colour profiling. So every second shot in this reel is Raptor, the rest is a mix of Komodo and Alexa S35. To make it easier, the S35 and Komodo was using Optimos and Leica...
