nice find

david geddes was also just interviewed on red centre episode #25 about this production.

Who came up with the graphic that shows a huge RED frame and then a tiny little itty-bitty HD frame? It's a bit more than twice as wide and twice as tall. The graphic makes it look four times as wide and four times as tall.

Excelent, This people really know how to work with a RED!!! Cheers!!

Mitch,
just wanted to send same post as yours here.


it should be corrected, it looks unnatural this way and simply it's not true.

I also like seeing these behind the scenes videos of people working with the RED. Maybe the little comparison graphic they showed was using 720p HD. Like the lowest HD vs. the RED resolution.

I corrected it for this thread. (see original and modified images below)

It's funny because the HD rectangle in the original image is actually much closer to SD. Of course, my mockup doesn't account for the loss of resolution due to debayering.

They just forgot that 'around five times the resolution' means five times the area, not five times the length and width.

As for the resolution lost to debayering - that is negligible in this context because we're only comparing the final pixel data that you get out of the cameras (which is 1920x1080 for the HD camera and 4096x2304 for the RED). If you were going to take points off the RED for debayering losses, then to make it a fair comparison you could only compare it to a single camera (like the F900 or F23 or something) and would have to measure how much detail is lost in its optics/codec and so on.
