24: Day 8 on RED?

[Miltos Pilalitos]

Hey,

Does anyone know if the new season of 24 is shot on RED?

 

[Dane Brehm]

I think its on F35s...

Its 35mm. they were supposed to switch to HD after the first few episodes, they shot tests/footage on multiple HD cameras, then settled on S16mm but at the last minute studio let them continue to shoot on 35mm for the bulk of the shoot - according to Rodney Charters Twitter stream anyway.

 

[Miltos Pilalitos]

Thanks Stephen. I hopped that Rodney would go RED for this season... well, maybe the next one.

You could tell the new episodes last night were definitely shot on 35mm film. It was an interesting contrast to "Human Target" which premiered just before it and was perfectly clean in most of the scenes. A source has told me the first episode of "Human Target" was shot on RED. Anyone else heard this?

24 is bleachy and blown out as hell this season -

I actually really dig the old 16mm 24 look. Another 16mm show that looks really great and organic is 'east bound and down'.

 

[Tony Lorentzen]

Rodney sounds pretty excited about M-X on Twitter so maybe Jim can talk him and the producers into shooting next season with a RED? ;-)

yes, human target episode 1 (the pilot) from last night was shot on red - the rest of the show is now D21

Well, i am not sure if it's the grading or something else but it didn't feel 35mm to me.

Oh, Rodney why not RED? :incazzato:

I'm not being obtuse, but I don't dig that grading.

Them highlights are a bit too blown out in my humble opinion.

 

[Ivan G]

Wow! I had took look very close to see if that was smoke. It doesn't even look like a bleach bypass...

 

[Miltos Pilalitos]

Some more exterior shots:

Well, the grade certainly gave an intensity to the scenes but still...

Anyway, to be fair with Rodney's work, the interiors look great as always. :smiley:

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

its 35

 

[BradWright]

Okay, It's still being shot on 35 mm for this season. I have confirmation of this from a reliable source.

Did any of the HD footage air? Or was it just tests? Why did they decide to stay with 35mm instead of HD?

It's still film. Here's a video from the set from just today:

I love the "fuck it, shoot it at a 3." Haha...

 

[NormLi]
