Happy New Year!

[Björn Benckert]

I think 2018 will be a splendid year. It will be the year of the MONSTRO, the year when we shoot 3200ISO tungsten and still need to add film grain to get that "filmic look".

For me 2017 was a fantastic year in more ways than one, I actually have not had such good year. Still it feels just like something is starting, so high hopes for 2018.


Canon FD 50mm f1.2 close focus wide open 3200ISO at tungsten kelvins... looked to slick so added some grain in RCXP... Thats how 2018 will be, I get a head spinn from just thinking of it.

Happy New Year to everyone too.

Nice Monstro frame Björn, I'm only seeing the .RMD file in the linked download location though?

Had a quick play with the JPG instead, just for fun -



The Monstro is amazing.

Thanks Björn.

From the R3D -



I can't help but think of the Monstro as the Super-Dragon (bigger, faster, better, but still showing its connection to the original).

Edit - Reduced the size of the picture for the forums.

Happy new year all!

2017 was a crazy year with good work, my Scarlet-W dying, Jarred and the Red team stepping in and lending me cameras to help me get the production finished and the final product looking pretty cool.

If we get picked up then 2018 could be an even more exciting year and i could look to upgrade my camera and have even more fun.

Yes, To me it feels like it is comming from the same factory, like it got the same DNA as dragon but with the quirks straightend out. It does not have any of the black issues dragon had, no need for dragon enhanced debayering etc.
I really liked helium but it had that pocket phone camera look shining trough when pusing it, bleading edges / colorfringing of highlights etc, sure most taken care of with IPP2 but Monstro shows nothing of such no matter what color science. Both extremely good but monstro to me is very much worth the extra cost. In a class by its own, people might fancy alexa xl, but to me this one is king.

Happy New Year Bjorn and Red Users! It has been a good year for me. Helium 8K as worked amazingly for me. Here's just an example:

My objective is to go Monstro. Since I'm not an independent freelancer, I will have to go for a loan on Monstro, but its ultimately the image I'm looking for. The Helium colours are absolutely stunning, but there's something from my Epic Dragon that I miss on Helium pictures. I don't know, it just looked more " organic" ?

Bjorn, your words just make me feel confident on taking the jump. Will probably do it by July. Until then, just a quick word to the RED TEAM, Jim, Jarred, Graeme and every single Rock Star over there that makes these cameras that pushes us further and further to produce better pictures. Keep pushing! Cheers from the other side of the World!

Phil,

with greenish tint removed. Let me know if you want me to delete it. I didn't know if this is just a green type LUT or not.
