  • 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 :)

Build 16 Warning!

I have a feature production starting in JUNE as well, just prey I have a RED ONE delivered before then but this news helps keep me patient, thanks Jim...and good luck cranking them out.
 
Everyone who saw the footage at NAB will tell you how good the images were shot on pre-15 builds. Soderbergh's movies were shot on pre-production builds and they got rave reviews... even the one shot 2:1 anamorphic (about 2K). Build 15 is not anything to be embarrassed about.

Build 16 is a complete structural change... hence the time it has taken to prepare it. We are doing years of DSP development in months, thanks to Graeme, Deanan and the rest of the team. Build 15 is the best of the original methodology. Build 16 is the beginning of the RED future... for RED ONE, Epic and Scarlet. Think of it like OS9 vs. OSX.

BTW, my pre-Alpha Build 16 boots in 60 seconds...

When it comes to image quality I'd take Soderbergh's build 0 any day of the week. The fact that you've gone above and beyond, and are continuing to is...well, it's above and beyond.

Maybe it's just because compared to my previous "life" as an HVX filmmaker, RED ONE is an embarrassment of riches, but I think anyone complaining about RED's image quality or specs is really taking way too much for granted.

Look, I roll my eyes at the fanboying going on here, but ultimately there's no denying that RED is doing great things, and considering the price point they're unquestionably doing it for the customers -- present and future.
 
Like lighting, composition, operating, pulling focus, blocking & directing actors, production design, etc? No longer necessary because you have a new camera?

RED is making a lot of people who have spent LOTS of their lives learning various shooting techniques more or less redundant--because you are taking much of the mystery out of doing that work with the evolving RED system.

What actually changes from an exposure perspective? I assume the goal is still the good 'ol ETTR mentality, yes? What sort of pre-curving are you guys doing to the footage? If it's a change in exposure mentality, it must have some sort of curve applied...?
 
I could smell that BETA 16 is coming to us, the BRAVE testers in a week or two...?!

This is so going in the right direction!

I'm doing a lot of documentary work, where the ability to grab the moment is just impartial.

I guess there will never be an instant-on, but how fast a boot-up time can we eventually hope for?

...and thanks for all the hard work, dear Red team!
 
People are opposed to change, film to digital, Build 13 to 16. Change make people think they are getting older.
I don't care hold old I get, bring on Build 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.....................
 
There are also alot of "little" things improved in build 16 that makes the RED ONE a much better user experience all together...

Jarred, I have no idea how you can soundly sleep at night without constant fear that sooner or later someone is gonna kidnap you and torture as long as it takes to squeeze out at least some shreds of information about the "Sweet Sixteen" :love: before the release date.

Sooo...for the sake of your personal health, which we wish you sincerely, we look forward to hear "a little" about alot of "little things". :devil:
 
10 minutes...

10 minutes...

...there is no downside to switching. Except about a ten minute discussion on what is different and how to expose given the differences. Actually, It took me about ten minutes... you'll probably get it in two. :-)

Could we have a little instight about these 10 minutes discussion?

As this would give us more details wich approach RED has taken for their future cameras. What are the majors signal monitoring changes?

Thanks.

heh heh.. we have hired a few extra bouncers at RED to ward off all the build 16 protesters and we now xray all our mail.

Its been waaayy too long.. and I apologize for the delay. Trust me though, last week it was worth the wait, and over the weekend it just got better.

Soon....

Wow, so one of these days, I'll actually be able to afford a camera, and this will begin to matter to me. Man, getting started in this industry sucks.

But I guess it's better than getting started in any other.:shifty:

I believe you're absolutely right.

Filmmaking is the BEST job you could possibly have... on this small planet.

No matter what department you're in.
