That looks absolutely amazing. But the little extension is not cheap: it's $25,000 by itself (on top of the basic cost of the camera).

That story was from 2021. The latest news is that Technicolor is shutting down MPC and The Mill in North America, which will affect the jobs of hundreds of VFX and post-production artists & technicians: Technicolor to shut down The Mill U.S. on Monday...

That's an amazing deal.

I worked for Technicolor/Thomson for 20 years, and to my knowledge they hauled them all out to the landfill and bulldozed them all, then claimed millions and millions as a loss for tax purposes. It was an awful, awful camera, particularly when compared to the Panavision Genesis, the initial Red...

We routinely will use Blue-Only NR in post if we run into trouble, and sometimes Blue-Only Desat as a Powergrade. Standard operating procedure. I do it even if nobody asks me to, just so the blacks remain black (assuming they're supposed to be black).

I've been threatening for some time to do advanced resolve training, and I hope to do that in the next month or two. The last hour will be (among other things) war stories with some famous names in the color room: Brian DePalma, Billy Friedkin, Barbra Streisand, George Lucas, Kevin Costner, all...

Yeah, we bought one at Complete Post in Hollywood, and had one of the few EditDroid systems in Hollywood. One thing the short doesn't mention: it never worked very well. They had a lot of technical problems with it, and our company refused to pay Lucasfilm for it until it worked. Around 1987...

Yes, that is a common observation from some directors and DPs. Famously, DP Steve Yedlin has insisted that his HDR versions essentially be identical to the SDR versions. I believe Steven Spielberg has made the same request. I've found after working in HDR, I kind of find myself doing the...

Thanks for sharing this, @rand thompson and @Jon Pais!

19b2 is an amazing release -- I did not expect this many changes so quickly.

I'm guessing that Nikon has a standard non-compete / non-disparagement / non-disclosure agreement in place, so he wouldn't be able to go into the camera business for X number of years.

Wow, that is amazing support.

You might want to provide a price for this package.

That is absolutely horrible. Julia, please keep us posted and let us know if you're able to get your money back (or even your Baselight system). I've warned people before: for really big-ticket purchases (especially over $10,000), fly to the city and do the transaction entirely in person. You...

I am in 100% agreement. I'm totally for virtual production systems like ILM's Stagecraft, where they have "prebuilt" virtual backgrounds and actors who are lit in a physical space, and a combination of traditional sets and screens creating the environment. I'm fine with that, and it's worked out...

Well, the two observations I have is: 1) this is just photorealistic animation. It's no better or worse than the amazing films that filmmakers like Bob Zemeckis and Jon Favreau have done in the past 15-20 years. They all have limitations, they don't necessarily feature "movie stars" in the...

This is an occasional conversation that comes up on the JWSoundGroup.net forum. No amount of processing can make a horrible room sound good. A few (I'm thinking 5-6) sound blankets CAN make a remarkable change. I've had rooms so echoey, we've had to almost box-in the interview subject so they...

Not that long ago. The Red Hydrogen Camera/phone was introduced in August 2018. It did not do well.
