  • 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 :)

EPIC images...

Everywhere you go there are critics... :-)

We shot this in a couple of hours, no time to go out and buy a pack of Camels.

Making this shot "dirty" is pretty easy. I'll try that as soon as we build some cameras. Deal?

Jim-

Just bustin' on you a little. Too clean is a good thing. We have filtration and software to muck it up.
 
love it.. never thought I'd see Buddy in a western!
 
Jarred and I tend to find ourselves lighting to ISO 800. We aren't afraid of lower or higher... just seems "right" to us.

Jim and Jarred:

I wrote and produced a western for CBS in the late 80's (that's 1980's) called PARADISE. Starred Lee Horsley. Your footage looks damn authentic. I can smell the warm beer and horse sweat. You nailed it. Again!

Wishing you a great show and tell in Vegas. I can just smell the warm beer and horse sweat there too!

Break a lens.

If your setup is still there, especially those lanterns, could you take a shot with just the lanterns lighting the set (at higher isos steps. up to the max). I'm really curious to see what that would have looked like.

I remember Red day and one set just being lit by candles. I was like, WOW! It's WYSIWYG! (What You See Is What You Get)
 
Fantastic

This is fantastic. It's an awesome time to be working in this business and art form. You guys sure make it fun and never cease to amaze.

A big thank-you for all of the great work.

i don't think they had filtered cigarettes back then. Come on guys! Forget it this camera sucks.

Who said anything about BACK THEN.....that looks like the bar down the mountain from my grandfathers place in Aguilar, Colorado....same lanterns, same table, same clothing and same marlboros. Only they don't use chips and you'd likely see a long neck on the table.
 
Would it be ok to ask for some details on fixtures? It looks like it's all tungsten. True?

I like the throwback to old style hollywood lighting with the tight snoot on her face and the nice rim.

800 is looking good.

Happy times.

It's WYSIWYG! (What You See Is What You Get)

Both ways! You can get images that your eyes can see (and a tad brighter), and you see what you are recording right on set.

Perhaps even more if the Wi-Fi module can manage a 4k h.264 and you use one of the new TVlogic 4k monitors. (!!!)
 
Jim, Jarred, if all possible, because I absolutely LOVE the 2:1 ratio of the 5K , and I'm salivating for when I'll be shooting Portrait Stills..

CAN you guys shoot a PORTRAIT?? Please? ;~)

We can't shoot anything now... boxing up for Las Vegas. Maybe when we get back.

See you in a couple of days!

any chance of seeing a tiff, or a r3d of this?

Well last time the screens came to life in a RED REEL and they released the r3ds of that, so I suspect it's only time.

And while last I commented on the possibilities, I'll comment on the image itself (the first one).

It seems shooting in low light scenarios provides a completely different feel. While the math/science might suggest an increase in light would simply mean an increase in stopping it down in camera... in this shot all the 'hollywood' has drained away and what's left is... stunningly beautiful and honest. That's a different feel all unto itself. I'm a firm believer that all the effects and styrofoam sets and lights in the world cannot replace authenticity, and the need for a camera's ability to capture it.
