Does RED have it's own aesthetic?

Hi Thor

I agree with you on 'being there' when watching CTL. But also when I take a look at Jim's racing shots for example, I think they all look beyond real... I guess I can't really put my finger on it, because well, I have never seen anything like RED footage before. But I love it.

Probably Floris is right about the tweaking, as some of the shots that are posted here without extensive cc defenitely do not look 'plasticky' or whatever we want to call it at all. Anyway it is good to know that we can if we want. I want to

When I saw the quicktime clip and trailer from CTL I also thought it looked a bit plastic and videoish.
After seeing it on the big screen at IBC with surround sound, I can tell you the images looked gorgeous, and VERY filmic, I was also very immediately grabbed by the story.

Also, to add, the demosaic in software has improved immensely since Crossing the Line was made, which should elevate the picture quality a bit.
