  • 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 :)

IN camera Preset LOOK, I know I will get killed for this

Just make sure to set white balance on your object and set your iso accordingly :)
 
These cameras arent magic, and youd be surprised how often post houses just export before any grading occurs.


Always get the picture as close to what you want on set as possible, at least in terms of ISO and colour balance.

Nothing wrong with setting up a preview look entirely, as long as your DP is monitoring in RAW.

This happens all the time - the post house does a quick transcode to ProRes without doing any set-up in RedCine, and then they discard the RAW files never going back to them for final colour correction. Getting the meta data look as close as possible when you aren't (even if you are) handling post production saves headache / heartache / finger pointing later; and (in my case anyway) makes me look better to the ad agency client because I 'saved' them some bucks at the post house.
 
Hey Everyone,

Okay I used my trusty color chart and my lovely wife and created a few looks for people to try out. They should turn out best shot at 800 iso and of course with the correct color temperature setting for the lights you're working under. The color temp is particularly important as most of the looks are subtly warmed or cooled and all are a bit more saturated. Also tried to tint out that little green spike the camera seems to give. You can download them all at http://client.fuzzymonstermedia.com/ and then download the Red Camera Looks folder. Let me know what everyone thinks. I will be starting to use these in real world setting soon. Let me know what you guys think in your own real world.
 
Oh forgot to mention that to get the best results with these looks you have to turn on user curves in the settings.
 
Thanks Greg. Would have posted the ones of my wife but I have been forbidden. I like your Greg Cinema look too. Very nice. I think I will continue to tweak but this is a good start. Now I can get on set, have these loaded in my first mag and let clients pick. Then adjust for their specific taste. I will of course tell most of them that doing it later is the way to go but most will not listen to me.
 
Greg what did you see as the problem with the ones I sent over? Exposure, color, OTHER issues? curious because I was pretty happy with them.
 
Cool Thread Greg-

w-a-a-a-y too much of a RCX newbie to even consider posting a Look, but shamelessly will have a go at any that are posted (like: I grabbed yours). Obviously if we as a Red community can build up a Library here somewhere that these can be posted, evaluated, shared - it would be a tremendous asset to everyone.

my thanks

Greg, nice job. BTW, thats Robert Moses Causeway! Brings back childhood memories.
 
I just began working on the ABC Family series Dirty Little Liars, as 2nd unit DIT. They are shooting mainly with Scarlet's, but our crew have Epics. After lighting was set, I took color temp readings with a Sekonic C-500 Prodigi Color meter. Then I set the kelvin and CC into all 3 cameras, OMG, spot on ( I was also surprised how closely matched all three Epics were). The results were amazingly spot on neutral. To verify my reading, I also shot the gray card (my standard), and all 3 color channels were equal on the gray card. The DP was very happy, as he was viewing pretty clean images, with nice skin tones.

As my reference monitor, the Eizo 232W showed a image that only needed a tiny crush in RCX. I was feeling a bit guilty, because normally getting good start color takes a small procedure, I arrived there so effortlessly. Look this is not rocket science, you can spend time, or go directly to perfect color. It's by no means "YOUR LOOK", but it's the best starting point to get creative with your image. If you just want clean, you've got it, done.

Unfortunately, due to non-disclosure, I cannot show the images here, but I'll post something soon.
