  • 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-W

...I don't think its going to be just a size thing.

That's what she said?

I think it's pretty much a Lens thing... it's probably Red listening to pros like Michael Bay, James Cameron, Peter Jackson and others that want S35 lenses, but also want 8k quality for SFX shots...

not sure having high ISO/ASA is a big deal in a Studio/Feature Film Environment ... really if you were using slower Anamorphic lenses and shooting in a large place that had little natural light it would get complicated, but they have super powered lights...
 
8K, 6K, whatever it is, if red will take my MX and let me have that DSMC2 body with the latest sensor - i'll take it, thank you very much :)
 
Wow Mark really? I missed that one:

Hell yes to 8K ANA (tall/ 4:3) sensor.

It appears not many rental houses here in London have Alexa Mini 4:3 licenses installed (most likely due to cost).
Decent market here for RED? A lot of people appear to be shooting anamorphic right now, especially if you can rate 2000-3200ISO? ; )

I think I read somewhere KipperTie were working on a 6K Dragon Focal reducer for 2x anamorphic? Anyone heard anything new about that?

watched Straight Outta Compton recently shot on Dragon anamorphic - looked great.

So, does that image mean that if we upgrade our MG cameras, we need to change the entire camera body to light grey/white? Why aren't we just gonna keep the current camera body? Seems like a waste to change the camera just because of a new sensor, no?

I think that is Jarreds own personal white Helium cam.

Jarred always makes a storm trooper version for himself.

Haha :) But I'm also wondering if a white body would be better, for say heat dissipation. It's not good for reflections, but for very hot environments, wouldn't a white body be better? Say desert work?
 
GDU Canon mount lens on the Helium... I'm sure it's not a fixed mount on an 8k camera, so must be by choice.
