We know that only Steven Soderbergh is using RED for feature films.

What do you mean -- there have been dozens of features shot on the RED already.

 

[Jannard]

None taken, that's why I'm currently trying to figure out what the 10 stop guys are doing, and who's opinions are the ones to follow.... plus, it's only under warmer lower light conditions that I get 6 stops.

I just posted a quick test on Recon. T1.7 to T32 in the same shot.

i THINK he means SS is the only big name that WE KNOW OF using RED. Which also isn't true, but i think thats what he meant

There are dozens (loose term) of features being shot on RED. Most not finished. At least 15 we know of.

Is there a precise, non-subjective way of judging DR in footage already shot? Or can you only do it with a light meter while shooting? I'm looking at a week of Red footage (which looks generally great), and trying to figure out what kind of DR I'm getting.

Thanks for the test stills Jim.

Build 16 looks like it is shaping up to be great.
I think I need to brush up on the way I grade, my exposure and ASA settings look good, so I must be loosing the range when I apply the grading. I'm gonna dig deeper into that thread you mentioned see if I'm missing something.

I saw Brook's fisheye Dubai post today and that certainly illustrated the effect good grading can have on the range.

"...The other was the prize for best actor, given to Benicio Del Toro,
who played the title role in Steven Soderbergh’s “Che.”...

...

...Also notable was the number of aesthetically and technically
innovative works shot in digital. Although the results can sometimes look like smeared
mud (see the competition entry from Singapore, “My Magic”), the new technologies
mean that a movie can look like something completely new (the startlingly sharp
lines of Jia Zhang-ke’s “24 City”) or very much like old-fashioned celluloid (“Che”).
Mr. Soderbergh shot that movie on a new high-definition, 10-pound camera (the RED)
that afforded him extraordinary fluidity in difficult terrain."

Yes, there are dozens of features shot on the RED already.

Will A production in the Hollywood use the RED as common camera in a few years?

Keyword "warmer lighting". If someone is getting 6 stops and someone else 10 I would assume they were shooting under wildly different chroma environments.

 

[Jannard]

If someone is only getting 6 stops under any lighting... they are doing something wrong. (unless there are only 6 stops in the scene).

Definitely there is only one big feature film produced in US shot on RED at the moment.

The language of the film is in Spanish and that is a main reason also between communist complex to accept the story as it is for a broader US distribution.

It is CHE or call it when you've split the film in parts

THE ARGENTINE and GUERRILLA.

Shoting took a several months and budget is about 60 milion $.

What do you want more?

Shooting CHE took through many Beta builds as we experienced them all well as RED users.

Also Benicio del Toro took Cannes the Best Actor award.

Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What we would like to have more?

You look nice, act amazingly great and get top actor award at the main world's film festival.

What we would like to get more?

Oscars?

It will be an offer to get it again in the awards game too...

Let us go back to real world and finish this amazing camera project in a best way.

One more thing is that I'm working hard to get the best still lenses on RED ever.

BTW., I cannot do more at the moment.

My movie is coming much later after all that techno mess.

Real life DREAMING....with RED...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hollywood is virtually dead for a long time ...

Cannes type European style with extreme French manner behaviour is long dead too...

Where the life is gone now?

This is is a right question?

M-hm.

I'm curious to see your visual thoughts on that.

Is it a feature-length?

I have no clue what you are talking about. :blink:

 

[Tim Fassnacht]

clearly the original post is getting dilluted here. Can we can the Fan-boy nonsense for once and let someone with the company reply? That'd be fantastic. Thanks!

I agree for the most part; there seems to be a loss of a serious artform as Hollywood thrives off of the white-bread america market.
