my red test

[Grayton hevern]

I strongly suggest anyone who works in post who has gotten a mild headache from working out the workflows for red grab a camera and got out and shoot with, it will help you understand better the whole fanboy craze and the way the issues in post are pushed to the side, I took a couple mates out with it and I don't think we stopped smiling like a group of school boys all day, beautiful camera and the way it handled low light was incredible.

What build are you at?

 

[Grayton hevern]

shot on build 15, have to wait for build 16 becomes a fully fledged build, anyone have a time frame on that? I had a play on 16 when Ted was in Melbourne and could notice the quality difference just looking at the on set monitor, so am looking forward to playing with it in low light.

Well done mate... looks like still photos from a DSLR.

Nice, what is the lens used on the first pic ?

 

[Grayton hevern]

Certainly does have a DSLR look to it, I was using a set of standard speed zeis primes, the top shoot in the above post was on the 50mm I think, don't think the 85 left the case. here is a couple more, both in very low light. I found deciding where to sit my exposure a bit difficult, could someone point me in the direction of an explanation of how to expose red, I feel into the trap of using the on board monitor as a reference and just checking the meters to make sure I wasnt clipping what I wanted, how are people judging exposure?

G'day Grayton, great images. Good to see you on here at last

Build 15 exposure meters are based on a Rec709 (HD colourspace) transform from RAW with a .5 stop headroom - so if you expose so that you're just clipping, you'll have no problems with highlights. If you don't like living on the edge so much, make sure there's no traffic lights at all.

Generally you can expose as for 320D film with a meter, but you might find this places mid-grey in high-contrast scenes too low for your taste - some DPs we work with meter for 200 or even 160 then deal with highlight clipping with ND grads or aperture adjustments as necessary.
