  • 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 :)

DSMC is not going to happen...

Steven had EPIC for pick ups. 95+% of the movie was shot on RED ONE MX... which is a DSMC camera. The concept is the same.

Just finished watching a doco on Soderbergh... I so love is faith in himself.

For years I thought I was doing everything wrong compared to the way others make films... I'm so glad I watched that Doco, Soderbergh has just confirmed for to me that Im doing everything right.

Look forward to meeting the guy one day and thanking him... :)
 
Steven is truly one of my heroes. He is his own man. He has talent that others dream of.

BTW... Steven has shot his last 6 features on RED. That includes shooting Ché on prototypes... 3 months before the 1st RED ONEs were released for sale. That is a story in and of itself.

Jim
 
He's a very impressive character.
Good on him is all I can say.

I've shot every single TVC of mine around the world for the last 3 years since I purchase my first RED... and have never look back. That's were I have to thank you in person too one day Jim..

DSMC is my future.
 
Thanks Jim. I look forward to Stephen's next films which I assume will all be Epic, including the Magic Mike that IMDB says is filming now on anamorphic. Exiting times! :)
 
Steven will be filming "Magic Mike" on RED... as usual.

Jim, you mentioned on this thread frequently about continuous lighting ... and I know you guys are very familiar with companies like Briese, B2Pro, etc that offer amazing HMI solutions.

However, as far as I know, B2Pro doesn't sell -- and Briese doest seem to be operating under the "the best AND affordable" model that Red does.

So this makes me curious -- does Red have plans to get into lighting at some point?

You are one of the best ever examples of "if you want something done right, you better do it yourself" ... and it seems lighting would be no different.

One of the difficulties in shooting for both motion and stills used to be motion blur if you shot the motion at 180 degree shutter or higher.. Now with EPIC and HDRX you can shoot one track for motion, and use the HDRX shorter shutter track for sharp stills.

This sounds like a very cool option. The exposure will of course be different, though. Assuming proper exposure for the A track shooting at the recommended 800 ISO, if shooting the X track at +2 stops it would have to be pushed as though it was shot at 3200, correct? Will an Epic still shot at 3200 ISO be "cover-photo-worthy"? If so, all I can say is, "Impressive. Most impressive!"

In the article you linked, looks like Greg Williams solved the motion blur issue another way: he shot at 48 and 96 fps!
 
I've been watching lately various videos that can be found on the web and on DVDs , piecing together the history of Red in my noggin' : from Ted with the first wooden ONE prototype, Steven's account on his experience filming Che, the workflow and mythbusters videos, the reels, DSMC...

Wow. A revolution in the making. There's a homebrew feel I really like, similar to Woz and Steve Jobs in their garage or the Wright brothers. A passion on a human scale that fuels a vision just too extraordinary not to succeed.

Ever considered making a documentary about the Red odyssey?

You can light to 640 or 500 if you have the latitude. Experimenting with a +1 stop HDRX option so you can get a 1/96 effective shutter if you are shooting at 1/48th for motion, that way you only are pushing a stop.

Ah, thank you. A while ago I remember some debate about whether it was worth including a +1 stop option for HDRX. Sounds like this is a very good reason to have it! 1/96th ought to be fast enough for most portraits.

There was a RED HMI a while ago. Don't know what came of it because I haven't read anything since.
