BIOLUMINESCENCE - cold light

[robertboulos]

Hello, we are currently testing many cameras for bioluminescence for a documentary. We were wondering if the RED MX did capture cold light or bioluminescence. Has anyone shot any footage of the sort. Thanks!

I would think that if its visible to the human eye, it should be visible to a camera sensor. Your main concern should be low-light, in which case the RED MX looks great to me (from the sample footage they shot). I would try an HDSLR if you have one available just to test it out.

that sounds awesome, robert. where are you shooting it? I'd love to help you test it out!

Don´t know if it belongs to your theme:
I just was involved in a presentation from Martin Chalfie (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, “Green fluorescent protein as a marker for gene expression”), and I`ve seen some videosamples. While I don`t know which camera it was, I know for that kind of filming a lot of special filtering and glass is necessary.

I´m sure the people from here:

can give you a well founded advice.
