  • 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 :)

First Clip from Crossing the Line

Absolutely outstanding clip, thanks for posting - guess you'll need some serious cooling on your server for the next few days!
 
1- Is there a torrent available?

2- What's the color management in that movie? I find it much easier if the target color space is sRGB (and since this was graded as rec. 709, then presumably there's no gamut clipping issues???).
 
Ireland on standby. Waiting......waiting.......waiting. Suspense is killing me! Its like been a kid again waiting for Christmas midnight to open up your presents
 
I'm flabbergasted! :blink: WOW!
 
I just watched it. Honestly, the stills really don't do it justice like that clip does. That looked awesome! :D Now I just want to see the whole short ;) Thanks to all the guys who worked on that and the RED team! :D

You gotta post the rest lol... it looks great, fair enough larger is better but it's still impressive enough
 
Just Imagine the 4K guys.

It was sweeet! OMFG!
 
Thanks so much to Jim, Jarred, Peter Jackson and the whole crew for making this available to us! The video looks absolutely great at 1024x512. I wasn't at NAB, hard to imagine what 4k would look like. I'd be happy to host a copy of this file on my website if you'd like.

I see you list about 150 separate credits. They did this in two days of shooting? I am guessing very significant pre-planning must have gone into this shoot. All this must have been quite a shock for the Red team if they were just expecting to shoot test charts, as I understand they were from the NAB reports posted here.

Edit: at 0:24 when the sky shows at the bottom of the frame, just to the right of a vertical bayonet near the bottom edge of the frame, you can see an OOF dust spot. Maybe on the lens or the sensor. This is not a complaint, I only saw it on viewing #4 and I don't know how you'd avoid this with the dirt being flung around! On the plus side, a fixed dust spot is just one example of "fixed pattern noise" so I'd think it could be erased pretty easily in post these days, if you wanted to.

Jarred's server seems to be holding up ok, but here's a mirror if you need it. (Sorry I used a pre-existing parent directory name. It doesn't seem fair to refer to this beautiful piece of cinema as "video", it definitely doesn't look like video!)

Just a small correction to the credits - one of the actors, Nathan Meister, his surname is spelled "Meister", not "Miester" as it appears in the credits shown here.

He's a friend of ours, and mentioned a "top secret" shoot he was on a few weeks back, he wasn't allowed to say anything about it. After the first day of NAB we speculated it was PJ's Red Shoot, but couldn't confirm with Nathan as he's in Oz on another job.
 
Just downloading it now... Will take about another 3 or 4 mintues, only getting 220KB/sec. Anyway, I can post a mirror after a bit, have to leave right now.
 
The look of it is amazing. The motion rendering is absolutely perfect. The ones who saw something being wrong with the Milk-Girls clip should be silenced now.
